Alexandre Rodrigues - Tenable

Can you accurately measure your organization's risk and exposure for each operational asset or facility, regardless of asset type (IT, OT, or IoT) or environment? Security for enterprise IT infrastructure is essential, but with industrial digital transformation underway in many OT environments, maintaining system availability and operability is mission critical. Security, visibility, availability, and the ability to operate IT and OT cannot be separated, as one can affect the other. This session will explore:

1. The similarities between IT and OT with respect to some operating systems, technologies, and networks
2. How the somewhat proprietary nature of OT-specific technologies, network protocols, and architecture makes it more difficult for threat groups and cybercriminals to find ways to impact a victim's OT environment
3. Where we can overcome adversaries who want to disrupt the operations of our industrial organization through our IT networks.
4. The need for better IT/OT collaboration between IT operations teams and OT engineers

High availability (HA) and specifically redundancy are critical for field area networks (FAN) of dealerships. Refers to the capability of the company's mission-critical system, component, or service. utility on the FAN to remain operational or operate continuously without interruption, failure, or downtime. inactivity for a certain period of time. In the event of a failure, the FAN and services will continue and failover recovery must be performed in a certain time, so that can be considered as if there were no interruption. Achieve this level of reliability of High Availability involves specific considerations in the different possible FAN technologies (such as radio licensed, unlicensed radio, cellular, and wired technologies), which we will explore in detail. Finally, we will examine and show that different technologies can sometimes require different methods and projects in some cases to achieve the High Availability required on FAN.

(SIGFI) with real-time remote monitoring

Jefferson Alberto Souza dos Santos - EDP

With a history of more than 40 years, EDP is a group that produces, distributes and sells energy, and is today the fifth largest private energy generator, with 70% of the energy it produces coming from renewable sources. Attentive to process improvements, it carried out the modernization of EDP's first solar microgeneration project in the Paraíba Valley, implemented 10 years ago in the community of Ilha Escura, in the eastern region of São José dos Campo. The benefits of the new system include increasing the useful life of the equipment, with lithium batteries that can last up to 15 years. Another advantage is the greater ease of maintenance and identification of any failures, through the remote real-time monitoring system integrated with EDP's Integrated Operations Center in São José. The community gains from more security, since the equipment will be protected with opening sensors, motion sensors and siren alarm, to prevent theft. The autonomy of the system will also be expanded, providing the power supply for 48 hours, even without the incidence of solar rays. In addition, all the meters installed are intelligent, with Nb-IoT communication that, in addition to storing energy consumption measurements, allow to collect information about the situation of the systems in real time.

Industrial Cyber Security – Remodeling, monitoring, detection and management of vulnerabilities of the operational network in HPP (real case)

Willian Rink - Siemens

The cybersecurity of the Brazilian electricity system must be treated as a priority by all agents involved. Recent reports show that industrial networks have become the main target of cybercriminals and a successful attack on a critical facility can have serious consequences that involve risk to lives, the environment and economic losses. If, on the one hand, there are several technologies available on the market, many of them cannot be applied directly to the installations of a plant, at the risk of causing damage to the operation.br>
In this sense, a cybersecurity policy was defined, which aimed to increase the level of cybersecurity maturity in line with the ISA/IEC 62443 standard and, above all, to comply with the new requirements of ONS and ANEEL. In this article, the solutions provided by the aforementioned project for this monitoring and the relevant lessons learned from it will be exposed. The project objectives that have already been achieved and the new controls that are in the process of being incorporated into the operation of the HPP will also be shown, as the project progresses.
