Monday, 23 August, 2010 | Supplied by: Invensys Operations Management (Australia) Pty Ltd


The Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system (DCS) operator workstations from Invensys Operations Management have passed the Achilles Cyber Security Certification test, performed by Wurldtech Security Technologies, a leading industrial cyber security testing and certification agency. The testing was conducted on the Foxboro I/A Series Model P92 Workstation for Windows hardware and I/A Series AW70 human machine interface (HMI) software for the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, including I/A Series FoxView, FoxAlert, Alarm Manager and System Manager applications.

The I/A Series Model P92 workstations are the first host-based devices (HBD) to achieve this globally recognised benchmark for communications security and robustness. As proposed by the ISA99 security standard, an HBD is a general-purpose device running a general-purpose operating system capable of hosting one or more applications or data stores. Examples include HMIs, engineering workstations, historian servers and domain controllers.

Invensys Operations Management also recommends that customers assess their overall cyber security capabilities as part of an ongoing security and robustness program for their computerised industrial systems. Invensys can also offer customers security-related services.
