SCADA Compliance with NetFlow and StealthWatch

Lancope’s StealthWatch® System is the leading Network Behavior Analysis solution worldwide. Delivering visibility across physical and virtual networks, StealthWatch eliminates network blind spots and reduces total network and security management costs.

SCADA compliance requires that proper controls are put in place to ensure that risks are minimized for systems that monitor and control water, oil and gas distribution, including pipelines, ships, trucks and rail systems as well as wastewater collection systems. It is recognized that the lack of monitoring and control capabilities could cause large area blackouts that affect oil and natural gas production, refinery operations, water treatment systems, wastewater collection systems, and pipeline transport systems that rely on the grid for power.”

StealthWatch helps demonstrate SCADA compliance by:

• Identifying connections to the SCADA network through both its’ zone structure to mirror network topology and its’ zone locking capabilities to alarm on defined connections between groups of hosts

• Auditing firewall policies to quickly identify misconfigurations that could compromise access to the SCADA network

• Profiling hosts for violations of security policies

• Continuously and agentlessly monitoring hosts and the network to identify intrusions, oftentimes not detectable by traditional signature-based security devices

• Identifying systems not patched correctly

• Providing a one console view of all network activity needed to diagnose and mitigate security threats as well as provide metrics for network provisioning

• Helping to optimize links
