Today’s automation systems have become incredibly complex, with thousands of measurements, multiple integrated applications, and more interoperability than ever before. This combination of greater complexity and continual change leaves facilities vulnerable to the effects of undocumented and unapproved changes to system configuration.
In addition, securing each industrial control system (ICS) requires knowing and tracking a complete inventory of all proprietary ICS and traditional information technology (IT) assets. Only with a comprehensive inventory that includes configuration data can companies secure against unauthorized change, achieve a sufficient compliance standard, mitigate risk, and ultimately improve process safety.
Unfortunately, traditional IT-based tools provide little support as they do not collect the up-to-date inventory and deep proprietary configuration data required for established security best practices. Without a comprehensive, evergreen inventory, it is difficult to detect unauthorized changes due to malicious attack or inadvertent engineering updates, obtain visibility into proprietary control system vulnerabilities, or maintain compliance against regulatory or corporate standards.
The Integrity Software Suite (Integrity) provides the integrated solution you need to address your automated asset management requirements and your ICS security demands.
