Recorded Webinars: Defining Industrial Cybersecurity Incidents
Cybersecurity for industrial control systems has changed significantly in the past two decades as the question has changed from “who would want to target an industrial automation and control system?” to “which industrial facility will be affected next?” This webinar will review major industrial cybersecurity incidents including: Stuxnet, the attack on the Sadara Petrochemical Facility, NotPetya, and the German Steel Mill. These events and others will be used as case studies to outline how industrial cybersecurity has been shaped over the years, and introduce key lessons learned that will help IACS be better prepared to defend against and respond to cybersecurity incidents.
Blog Entry: Rationalize Your Alarm Management Problems Away
The increasing global adoption of alarm management standards (ISA-18.2 and IEC 62682) is bringing the importance of alarm rationalization to the forefront. Rationalization is defined as the “process to review potential alarms using the principles of the alarm philosophy, to select alarms for design, and to document the rationale for…

Recorded Webinars: Rationalize Your Alarm Management Problems Away
Modern control systems make it easy (maybe too easy) to add alarms without significant effort, cost, or consideration for whether they are truly needed. This has led to alarm systems that often hinder, rather than help, operators by subjecting them to nuisance alarms, alarm floods, incorrectly prioritized alarms, and general alarm overload. Alarm rationalization, a proven alarm management technique and one of the stages of the ISA-18.2 / IEC 62682 alarm management lifecycle, can help address these issues and create an optimal, effective alarm system.
The presentation will touch on best practices for rationalization as well as the most common pitfalls. It will also demonstrate how effective alarm rationalization can lead to reduced downtime, reduced operational risk (insurance premiums), and reduced cost of operations, while improving operational discipline and operator effectiveness.
