Beyond the Great Firewall,
…there’s a Smarter Grid powered by real-time information and device interoperability. Lurking just outside are the worms, Trojan Horses, ‘bots and other insidious tools of the Black Hats looking to exploit and compromise its integrity. How best to give the right people access and keep the bad guys out?
By using the same technologies and IT conventions that keep online commerce and banking secure – Encryption (including HTTPS, SSH, sFTP, and VPN), Firewalls, Strong Passwords, LDAP Remote Authentication and Data Logging – the industry-leading OrionLX/Orion5rL Substation Automation Platform creates a Smarter Grid that is both accessible and secure.
NERC CIP Secure Communication Functions
- Firewall blocks unauthorized clients
- Strong password creation and maintenance tools restrict access to authorized users
- LDAP support enable passwords to be maintained in a single enterprise location
- Encrypted communication and key management conceal transaction details
- Extensive alarm and event logging captures authorized and unauthorized activity
OrionLX and Orion5rL are designed to operate with existing secure devices in the IT infrastructure, including upstream routers and PCs. The entire Orion Cyber Security architecture is based upon open, industry-standard hardware and software to ensure compatibility.
