Securing SCADA Infrastructure

SCADA systems are specialized computer networks and devices that work in concert to monitor and control key processes involved in the management of machinery, equipment and facilities. Measurements taken from a variety of sensors (temperature, pressure, flow etc.) are used to make decisions, for example; to open a valve and release water from a tank when it fills up, or to initiate an emergency shutdown of a nuclear power plant. Loss of access to or misuse of these systems could result in severe physical damage, disruption and financial loss to a company. Therefore, security of these SCADA systems should be a high priority. FortiGate consolidated security appliances provide defence-in–depth capabilities which “virtually patch” vulnerable systems, minimising disruption to the SCADA network.

We think highly of the FortiGate appliances ability to provide various security functions within one appliance, rather than forcing us to implement specific security software one by one. In addition, we liked its clear fee structure for initial licensing based on an annual per store cost. The deployment of FortiGate appliances enabled us to share a huge amount of data in a secure manner. We plan to drive further development, including a management system to understand all aspects of our outlets, such as photo shooting status, the delivery of commercial messages to our customers to highlight our outlets and the delivery of streaming images to our employees as part of training. Furthermore, we will consider developing a dedicated store system tailored for digital photography, rather than use a common POS system for retail outlets modified for photo studios.
