Survalent Technology and N-Dimension Solutions release first interoperable NERC Compliant Cyber-Security solution
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mississauga ON, March 31st, 2007 – Survalent Technology and N-Dimension Solutions have completed what is believed to be the first commercially available, interoperable NERC Compliant Cyber-Security/SCADA solution. Users of a Survalent SCADA system can achieve NERC compliance and receive Cyber-Security alarms, events and reports via their user-friendly and familiar SCADA user interface.
“As our customers began NERC CIP efforts, they let us know they wanted security information, alarms and control available via their SCADA system. Our interoperability with N-Dimension Solutions brings the security technology into the interface they are already intimately familiar with, providing unparalleled ease of use” said Cornel Munteanu, VP of Development for Survalent.
User’s that implement N-Dimension’s n-Platform can purchase an application from Survalent that provides access to intrusion attempts, vulnerability scans, port scans and other important data right into WorldView via an intuitive Control Panel.
“The robust security solution that our platform provides, combined with the high ease-of-use of the Survalent WorldView interface present an unrivaled value-proposition for implementing NERC Compliance” said Doug Westlund, President of N-Dimension Solutions. Cyber-Security data available in SCADA leverages operational assets already in place, providing operational efficiencies and quick response time.

- - NERC CIP compliance
- - Comprehensive defense-in-depth approach, as recommended by NERC and Homeland Security
