Integrating SCADA and IT Assets – Business, Security and Reliability Implications

With SCADA only recently maturing as a technology, most users tend to have a wide range of installed SCADA equipment/networks that can vary considerably in terms of age, feature-set, connectivity, and vendor support. This increases both cyber and physical security risks for the SCADA critical infrastructure; the implications of a security breach are not only decreased productivity of the primary industry, but also severe public health and safety issues – a huge concern for SCADA engineers.

This is why Energy & Utilities IQ is delivering SCADA Systems 2012 for its 5th year running.

The event will help SCADA engineers, architects and process controllers find solutions for their SCADA upgrades, ensuring smooth interoperability and develop an understanding on how to best guarantee cyber security.

What is new in SCADA Systems 2012?

For 2012 we have raised the bar for SCADA conferences across Australia:

  • Case studies of SCADA upgrades done throughout Australia
  • Strategies to address cyber security concerns that you can implement on your SCADA network
  • Learnings about improved integration of Smart Grids for power companies
  • Methods to successfully adapt to new industry standards including CIP/NERC and IEC 61850
  • Developing a SCADA masterplan for an integrated corporate system

What Differentiates this Conference from other SCADA events?

  • We have more case studies presented by Australia’s top utilities, power, oil& gas and mining companies including Hunter Water Australia, Ergon Energy Corporation, Arrow Energy and Fortescue Metals
  • We have focused on the importance of SCADA integration and how you can still ensure cyber security
  • Our years of experience in this space have helped us develop credibility within the SCADA community – our audience is well qualified and we facilitate enhanced networking opportunities

What are the Key Topics to be addressed at SCADA Systems 2012?

  • Server Virtualisation for Managing Lifecycles of Applications that Make up an Integrated MES Environment
  • SCADA and IT Integration – Past, Present and Future
  • Benchmarking Best Practice Physical Security Measures in Conjunction with Cyber Security Implementations to Ensure Sufficient Security
  • Conducting a Thorough Risk Analysis of the Necessity of each Connection to the SCADA Network
