Gambica forms industrial network security group
Gambica has formed an industrial network security group to identify standards and best practice for members and their customers to help counter the threats of viruses, industrial sabotage and terrorism. The new group already has 19 members and came about as a result of feedback from other group members suggesting that this is an area of increasing interest to the automation industry.
>"I put out a proposal to Gambica's membership and within hours got back messages from about 15 member companies saying they were definitely interested in participating in such a group," reveals Steve Brambley, deputy director of Gambica. "We had an exploratory meeting where it was determined that the industry is interested in spreading best practice among both vendors and their customer base. Defence-in-depth is what is needed, because there is no single solution to industrial network security.
