Securing SCADA and
Control Systems
A robust security strategy is both broad and deep in the enhanced protection it
facilitates in control system safety and operational integrity. The scope of a truly
expansive industrial security solution includes the control system and its
constituent products, but also the people, policies, and procedures necessary to
maintain a specific level of security. Expert consulting services can often help
assure a more thorough and complete evaluation of security posture. Rockwell
Automation Network and Security Services group has the expertise and know-
how to help address industrial security concerns in a balanced way.
