Webinar: Industrial IoT SCADA and Security Considerations

Industrial IoT/SCADA Context and Security Considerations 

Justin Hogue discusses the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) in control and monitoring systems (commonly referred to as SCADA – Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) with an eye toward Maine’s varied and often rural industrial sectors and a look at security concerns specific to this sector.

Justin covers challenges around managing and securing sensor networks and SCADA systems, and provides practical, real-life approaches for simplifying and securing data from remote and previously isolated locations. In addition, the discussion explores a methodology for developing communication security strategies for industrial and utility networks, drawing samples from deployments that maximize bandwidth and ensure redundancy using cellular technology. Lastly, the speaker touches on considerations/questions operations personnel should ask when evaluating solutions.

MTUG thanks our Board Member/Coordinators Mike Begin and Austin Brower for arranging the speaker/topic for this session.
