OK - I expected this. As I stated I was/am not trolling. Heck - check the email headers - This noise is coming from Thunderbird on a WinXP Pro system. I don't expect this system is secure even with two different firewalls and an AV software product installed. Marcus - I've really enjoy your works/writings/postings and sincerely did not mean any offense. I've read over and over about SCADA security issues but find practically nothing on the market to effectively address them. We can write a lot on the Firewall Wizards list about the woes of mixing today's connected business needs with yesterdays isolation is a form of security. My basic question is why aren't those who have a clue creating solutions to meet the business needs? This is where I think our time is better spent (and the.the $$$ are). If I can rephrase my original question it would be more like: "I think we can do better, If we build it will they come?" Thanks, Dan Hassler
That's what gets us in trouble, IMO. We start looking for a device that's going to do our job. Simply stated, just leave the SCADA network where it belongs - by itself - and you'll be fine. Mess with that architecture, as Marcus said, and you're CREATING the problem. There are ways to provide for business reporting needs - but the SCADA network is still mostly left alone. It does NOT involve remote access, however. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
