Without fail, cybersecurity continues to make headlines. News about data breaches, password protection, identify theft, hacks and viruses are so prevalent, it’s easy to feel security fatigue. It can also seem overwhelming to stand vigilant for cyber threats at all times.
Have you made the appropriate software updates? Do you adhere to all security and privacy policies your company has in place? What have you done to become less vulnerable to attacks? A breach in your control system security can lead to lost production, equipment damage, information theft and/ or safety incidents. Therefore, it’s imperative to have a strategy in place to protect your system.
As cybersecurity needs evolve and mature, new technologies are available to strengthen the protection of your critical infrastructure with an integrated suite of Intel Security (McAfee) solutions for DeltaV systems. The Emerson Lifecycle Services team provides services and products designed to help safeguard important assets and data.
During the webinar, you will learn about cybersecurity planning and implementation practices such as:
- Protecting the system from known and unknown threats
- Increasing security intelligence and awareness
- Applying defense-in-depth principles
- Aligning with emerging industry standards
We’ll also discuss cybersecurity throughout the Emerson Global Users Exchange, happening Oct. 24-28 in Austin, Texas. In addition to hosting a cybersecurity exhibit, Emerson cybersecurity experts will give three different presentations on the topic of cybersecurity:
- 6-9615 — DeltaV Cybersecurity Services Update
- 3-9749 — DeltaV Cybersecurity Primer
- TR-11293 — Cybersecurity Roundtable
If you can’t make it to Emerson Exchange, please visit our website to learn more about cybersecurity solutions for DeltaV systems. We show how the collaboration with McAfee strengthens the integrated cybersecurity solution in the DeltaV distributed control system to help meet the ever-growing threats and new standards. This level of integration leads to more improvements in protection, intelligence and response. This strategic relationship with McAfee also reinforces Emerson’s commitment to protecting infrastructure throughout the plant lifecycle and addresses the demand for consistent, proven industrial cybersecurity.
