Secure Computing Supplies Important SCADA-Specific Security Signatures; Provides Industry-Leading Protection for Critical Infras

Secure Computing Corporation (NASDAQ: SCUR), a leading enterprise
gateway security company, today announced it is incorporating three
new signature file types for SCADA-specific protocols into its
industry-leading Secure Firewall (formerly known as Sidewinder)
product. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems
are used by energy, water, oil/gas, and chemical companies to
control critical network components. Integration of these SCADA
signatures is part of Secure Computing's continued focus on
protecting critical infrastructure to ensure that control networks
are fully protected, and comes in the middle of Secure Computing's
Cyber Security Initiative and NCSA's Cyber Security Awareness
Month.
Secure Firewall is the world's strongest security for standard
protocols used over typical IT networks, and now protects critical
networks from every type of attack, even those targeting SCADA
networks. Secure Firewall provides custom security measures that
understand and control SCADA-specific protocols.
"Critical infrastructure is under intense scrutiny by regulators
and hackers alike. Securing these networks is a national
imperative, not an option," said Elan Winkler, director of Critical
Infrastructure Solutions for Secure Computing. "Unfortunately, most
security devices aren't designed to meet the special needs of
control networks. They cannot filter SCADA-specific protocols to
prevent attacks against these critical infrastructure networks.
Secure Firewall, however, is a perfect combination of the strongest
firewall on the market along with the custom protocol security that
is a necessity for SCADA networks."
Here are the three new SCADA signature types being provided by
Secure Firewall:
-- SCADA:ICCP: The Inter-Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP or
IEC 60870-6/TASE.2) is being specified by utility organizations throughout
the world to provide data exchange over wide area networks (WANs) between
utility control centers, utilities, power pools, regional control centers,
and Non-Utility Generators.
-- SCADA:MODBUS: Modbus is a serial communications protocol for use with
its programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It has become a de facto
standard communications protocol in the industry, and is now the most
commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices.
-- SCADA:DNP3.0: DNP3.0 (Distributed Network Protocol) is a set of
communications protocols used between components in process automation
systems. Its main use is in utilities such as electric and water companies.
Specifically, it was developed to facilitate communication between various
types of data acquisition and control equipment.
