New York, November 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - ICONICS, Mitsubishi Electric Automation (MEAU) and Dispel launched an integrated, mobile target defense-based industrial automation system remote access solution at this year’s ICONICS Connect 2021 conference plan. This announcement means that manufacturing, water and wastewater, oil and gas, construction management, and maritime customers can now provide their teams with enhanced secure remote access to their operating technology without going beyond their partnership with ICONICS and MEAU.
Since November 2019, the cyber resilience and fault tolerance reference standard for the United States and Japan (mapped through cross-departmental forums) has been NIST 800-160 Volume 2. The document calls for the use of mobile target defense at multiple levels in any network system. Without automation, meeting this standard correctly in a remote access environment requires a lot of human capital (each connection requires 15 minutes of administrator time), the patience of connected users (7 to 12 minutes of login steps), and dedicated uplink equipment . Dispel's core engineering specialty is the automatic activation and maintenance of mobile target defense infrastructure.
"Since NIST 800-160 Volume 2 is still a draft notice, Mitsubishi Electric Automation has been focusing on mobile target defense," said Ian Schmertzler, President of Dispel. "The due diligence, testing and micronization in the 2 years and 14 days prior to this incident proved the cautious attitude of Mitsubishi Electric Automation and ICONICS to solve mission-critical issues for customers."
The solution proposed on ICONICS Connect 2021 on September 30th provides users with less than 30 seconds of connection time, less than 1 minute of management overhead for each connection, and embedded installation on Mitsubishi Electric MELIPC series hardware. Light enough to allow the system to continue to serve its original purpose is parallel.
Ben Burke, chief operating officer of Dispel, said: "The primary task of these three teams is to provide next-generation capabilities to the market with this relationship." Improve the operational efficiency of the highest-performing alternative to unsecured remote access. "
This speech is at a critical moment in the field of industrial automation. With the colonial pipeline incident prompting regulated industries to implement cybersecurity controls, and a shortage of skilled labor has also driven the demand for remote access, industrial automation customers have been looking for ready-made options among suppliers to quickly make their companies incompatible with standards. Will hinder the productivity gains provided by industrial automation.
