Process Sensor Monitoring for Cyber Security, Reliability, and Safety

Session details:

Process sensors measuring pressure, level, flow, temperature, etc. are assumed to be uncompromised, authenticated, and correct. They are the 100% trusted input for Operational Technology (OT) network monitoring as well as safety and predictive monitoring systems. Process sensor monitoring at the physics level can provide more accurate information for productivity and safety while at the same time providing an independent view of the OT network monitoring systems while not being subjected to ransomware or other IP network malware. There have been several recent programs that have monitored process sensors at the physics level that have demonstrated the efficacy of the approach and produced real, quantifiable benefits. Monitoring the process sensors can also help identify confirmed and potential cyber incidents with equipment such as pumps, compressors, valves, transformers, etc.
