Streamlined OT cybersecurity offerings for plant automation users

| By Mary Bailey

This company has launched a strategic collaboration to offer users of Emerson’s DeltaV™ automation platform with a global suite of advanced operational technology (OT) cybersecurity services. The collaboration gives DeltaV users the option to have a single, authorized cybersecurity services provider to simplify vendor management, accelerate project timelines, and enhance operational resilience across their entire OT environments. This level of streamlining results in faster project timelines and reduced vendor complexity, as well as consistent governance and the availability of OT-tailored services that reflect real-world risk to plant operations. As part of the new partnership, the following initial services  to DeltaV Automation Platform users:

  • Basic Cybersecurity Assessment: A low-cost, nonintrusive assessment of OT systems, including DeltaV DCS and SIS.
  • Consequence-based Cybersecurity Risk Assessments: Two methodologies aligned to ISA/IEC 62443-3-2: CyberHAZOP, a safety-oriented, systematic study of OT cyber risks, and CyberBowtie, a streamlined, visual alternative.
  • Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) Deployments: Turnkey design, implementation, and maintenance of OT NIDS with rapid rollout and precise tuning.
  • OT Cybersecurity for Capital Projects: Unified Emerson and Armexa capabilities to design and deploy OT security aligned to ISA/IEC 62443-2-4
