On-line tool to help secure control systems

A web-based tool launched at the Process Control Systems Forum (PCSF) in Atlanta Tuesday will allow for collaboration in security control systems in the energy sector.
The tool, called the Interactive Energy Roadmap or ieRoadmap offers a list of the most current projects throughout the energy control system area.
“The entire energy control systems community can now use this searchable, on-line tool to view and post key activities within the strategic framework of the Roadmap,” said Hank Kenchington, manger of control systems and security activities at the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability at the U.S. Department of Energy. “By matching current activities to priority needs, this tool will enable the energy sector to measure its progress in meeting its defined goals and milestones.”
“This tool will make it easier to spot gaps in coverage and identify opportunities for leveraging resources through partnerships,” said Mike Torppey, PCSF technical manager.
