Documented security breeches at water and wastewater facilities worldwide are among the factors spurring calls by a number of organizations for increased cyber-security vigilance. The Ovation Security Center (photo) can help these facilities as they step up their cyber-security measures. Already proven in the power industry, the Ovation Security Center’s centrally located console streamlines management of the following security applications: security event management; patch deployment and audit; malware prevention; event log storage and reporting; and vulnerability assessment and management. The Security Center’s event-management capability provides a centralized event collection, event correlation, and threat identification function for security-related events in an Ovation control system. Security events are collected from each network device including network intrusion detection systems, firewalls, routers, switches, servers, workstations, controllers, and Security Center application modules. Periodic updates to patches, vulnerability databases and security signatures are downloaded and standard-security-management reports are available for operations management and regulatory compliance. — Emerson Process Management, Austin, Tex.
