Software Installation Cybersecurity

5 Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is a branch of network administration that addresses attacks on or by computer
systems and through computer networks that can result in accidental or intentional disruptions.
The objective of cybersecurity is to help provide increased levels of protection for information and
physical assets from theft, corruption, misuse, or accidents while maintaining access for
intended users.

No single cybersecurity approach is adequate. Schneider Electric recommends a defense-in-


depth approach. This approach layers the network with security features, appliances, and
processes. The basic components of this approach are:

· Risk assessment: A systematic security analysis of the environment and related systems.

· A security plan built on the results of the risk assessment

· A multi-phase training campaign

· Network separation and segmentation: Physical separation of the control network from other
networks, and the division of the control network itself into segments and security zones.

· System Access Control: Controlling access to the system with firewalls, authentication,
authorization, and other software means, and traditional physical security measures such as
video surveillance, fences, locked doors and gates, and locked equipment cabinets.

· Device hardening: The process of configuring a device against communication-based threats.


Device hardening measures include disabling unused network ports, password management,
access control, and the disabling of all unnecessary protocols and services.

· Network monitoring and maintenance: An effective defense-in-depth campaign requires


continual monitoring and system maintenance to meet the challenge of new threats as they
develop.

· See Security Considerations in the SCADAPack DNP3 Security Technical Reference manual

Accessing Help Software Installation

10 Accessing Help
The SCADAPack RemoteConnect configuration software provides an extensive set of hardware,
configuration and technical reference manuals as described in About the Book 10 . You can
access:
· Using the Online Documentation 36

· The complete documentation set 37

· Context-sensitive help 39

· Logic programming help 40

· The individual manuals 42

10.1 Using the Online Documentation

There are two main ways to find information in the SCADAPack x70 documentation set:
· Searching for information 36

· Navigating through the manuals 37

Searching for information

Click the Search tab to find information based on specific search criteria.

Searching tips:

· Avoid searching on single words that are likely to be used throughout the documentation set.
For example, searching on the word security on its own returns hundreds of search results.
· Use quotation marks to search for words that are used together. For example, searching on
"security key" helps to narrow your search results to the information you're looking for. If you
search for security key without quotation marks, your results list will include all topics that
include the word security or the word key.
· Use the AND, OR, NEAR and NOT operators to refine your search criteria. For example,
searching on "security key" NEAR authentication helps you quickly locate the relevant
security key information.
· Use the three checkboxes at the bottom of the Search tab to further refine your search. For
example, searching for "security key" only in topic titles helps to narrow your results to topics
where security key is the main idea.
· Once you have a list of search results, click the Location heading to sort your results
according to the manual in which they are located. This helps you quickly locate the most
relevant instances of your search terms.
