CoreTrace Releases Whitepaper on Application Whitelisting and Energy Systems
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) AUSTIN, TX, March 17 / MARKET WIRE/ --
CoreTrace, the creator of
high-security / easy change application
whitelisting technology, today announced the availability of a new
whitepaper titled "Application
Whitelisting and Energy Systems - A Good Match?". The paper details
best practices for SCADA Systems security and compliance and illustrates
application whitelisting technology as an evolving and maturing antivirus
technology, which with the proper implementation can provide a heightened
degree of security for energy control systems. For SCADA systems in
particular, application whitelisting provides low performance impact,
highly efficient antivirus capabilities, configuration control and
eliminates the need for emergency security patching which can cause system
downtime and the need for rebooting.
What: This CoreTrace whitepaper explains why application whitelisting is
being rapidly adopted as a security and control solution for SCADA systems.
In three major sections, the paper provides a detailed perspective on how
application whitelisting technology works, discusses the use and benefits
of whitelisting technologies in SCADA and energy environments, and finally,
explains how the technology is adapting to function in environments where
controlled software changes are needed.
Specific issues addressed in the whitepaper also include meeting NERC CIP
requirements (e.g., NERC
CIP-003, -007, and -008), protecting the ongoing stability of sensitive
processes, preventing unauthorized applications and configuration changes,
and the avoiding the need to access the latest antivirus signatures or
patches.
