Intel and McAfee have entered a partnership to better protect the world’s energy utility ecosystem, including generation, transmission and distribution, from increased cyber attacks. McAfee and Intel have provided a blueprint for a comprehensive solution of multiple products that create layers of security and operate together without great complexity or without impacting availability. McAfee and Intel solutions deliver a variety of technologies for securing the energy
environments, decreasing chances of malicious attacks, increasing uptime and decreasing resource intensive responses to fix and update systems. As a jointly created “reference implementation” that mirrors real-world energy environments customers can see the technology implemented fully and integrated across endpoint, network and cloud. The solution is focused on satisfying the energy industries need for situational awareness, seamless multi-zone protection, native supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) support, and remote device management.
Eric Knapp, Critical Infrastructure Expert, McAfee said, "To adequately secure critical systems against cyber attacks, the right products and technologies must be integrated into the entire infrastructure-from the enterprise, to the SCADA and control systems, and even to the automated device networks-without impacting reliability or interfering with operations. Together, Intel and McAfee have combined commercially-available chipset capabilities and cyber security products into the perfect recipe for substation security, providing advanced protection while removing operational complexity, and improving reliability through remote manageability."
