Pittsburgh, PA
Designing system architectures in partnership with software configuration enables a secure enterprise operational technology system. Frameworks such as the Purdue Model and other control system architectures define layers within networks to support vulnerability identification and asset relationships, while also utilizing software-defined networking technology to manage the network proactively. These frameworks enable secure, connected, and interoperable systems such as Grid-Interactive Buildings. This session will highlight processes utilized in real situations and provide best practices.
