PAS, Inc., a leading solution provider of ICS cybersecurity, process safety, and asset reliability in the energy, power, and process industries, announced the general availability of its latest Cyber Integrity software release.  The product now includes industrial control system baselines allowing facilities to monitor more easily the configuration changes that impact security, compliance, governance, and operations.  By focusing on the configuration data deemed most critical, Cyber Integrity’s enhanced baseline capabilities significantly reduce the time that engineering and cybersecurity personnel spend investigating and pinpointing configuration changes.

Industrial process control facilities need baselines to secure both production- and IT-centric endpoints.  Spanning Level 0 through 3 of the Purdue Model, the newly released Cyber Integrity 5.5 provides the following baseline capabilities:

  • Intuitive baselines, preconfigured templates, and administration tools to simplify configuration management and expedite deployment,
  • Built-in baseline variance workflows, and
  • Complete audit and recovery functions.

     

     

PAS Cyber Integrity hardens security for the most mission-critical assets in a plant, the industrial control systems.  Cyber Integrity works across the heterogeneous automation environment, providing enterprise scalability, performance, and platform independence.  At the same time, it automates internal and regulatory compliance reporting while reducing associated efforts by up to 90 percent.

PAS will showcase the new Cyber Integrity baseline capabilities at the ARC Industry Forum in Orlando, Florida on February 6th to 8th in Booth #28.

Sid Snitkin, ARC Advisory Group, commented, “The problem with managing change for proprietary industrial control systems is that the number of changes and resulting investigations can overwhelm any organization.  Providing baseline capabilities that focus exclusively on security-related data monitoring is essential to operationalizing configuration management within the process control network.  Doing so also helps companies better comply with NERC-CIP, NIST 800-82, IEC 62443, and other standards that require configuration management.”
