Network security for automation solutions is a concept that has been getting increased attention over the last decade. In the past, security was not a major concern because automation systems utilized proprietary components and were isolated from other networks within the business.
Today, many automation systems are comprised of commercial off the shelf components, including Ethernet networking and Windows operating systems. In addition, legacy products are being updated to operate in these new network environments.
The consequence is that formerly closed systems are suddenly connected to open enterprise networks and the Internet, exposing improperly protected systems to modern IT threats.

Creating a Reliable and Secure Advanced Distribution Management SystemSchneider Electric
As public utilities strive to build an efficient distribution network, they are looking to automated solutions. One such solution is the advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) that integrates SCADA, DMS and OMS technology, for optimum performance efficiency. Instead of operating with proprietary protocols on isolated networks, this approach applies open-system design – and makes security of the SCADA system paramount.
In the U.S., the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is leading the efforts toward establishment of security standards for SCADA networks that process unclassified information. The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), with oversight by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and governmental authorities in Canada, enforces mandatory cyber security standards for the bulk power system in North America. Beyond North America, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) maintain the ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System standard.
It is these standards that make possible the performance efficiency of an interoperable ADMS open system while actually improving the security of older, proprietary SCADA/DMS/OMS systems.
The NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) guidelines establish best practices for the minimal level of security required for safe and secure operations of a modern ADMS solution. They fully describe the system’s security objectives but leave to the user the choice of technology that best achieves these objectives for the user’s network. These guidelines describe access control and event logging, personnel training, maintenance of the electronic security perimeter, incident reporting and response planning, and security auditing. The utility that implements an ADMS solution that complies with these guidelines is positioned not only for operational effectiveness and enterprise-wide efficiency but also security of operations. It is recommended that the ADMS solution vendor be actively involved in industry working groups, to support compliance with the latest developments.
An open-architecture, fully configurable ADMS system meeting NERC CIP guidelines will offer security at all operational levels, even as the network grows and software upgrades are applied.

KnightSentry 2.0 One Pager: Proprietary Security System Health MonitoringKnight Security Systems
Faster than ever resolution for system health issues, Knight’s innovative KnightSentry platform continuously scans the status, activity and performance of every IP-based security device on the client’s network. By making system health visible and easily understandable, KnightSentry speeds time to resolution, mitigates risk and enables more effective management.
The electric power grid has changed significantly over the past decade and continues to change as technology evolves. More and more, new-generation substation control systems are based on open standards and commercial technology, including Ethernet and TCP/IP based communication protocols such as IEC 60870-5-104, DNP 3.0 or IEC 61850. While this change in technology has brought about huge operational benefits, it has introduced cyber security concerns and a potential challenge to network reliability. Electronic intrusion into a substation can misdirect or terminate service, and this intrusion can be from internal individuals or external hackers or organizations.
Many substation control and diagnostic systems in deployment were not designed for real-time security functionality and centralized system administration with robust access control. Utilities must implement policies to protect their substation systems against intrusion from within and from outside the corporate network. Further, they must be able to detect intrusion when it does occur to eliminate future untoward effects. Finally, they need to be prepared with planned response and restoration that not only returns targeted functionality but can improve system security.
The global power industry has stepped up its focus on cyber security for control and automation systems, and standards are in place identifying the functionalities required for secure substation operation. Utilities looking to protect against cyber attack on their substation automation systems must implement the SCADA, RTU and IED solutions that incorporate proven-technology and the security mechanisms meeting these standards.
