Securing batch control systems
Batch process control security is becoming a critical concern for the process control domain, IT technology infrastructure and the business enterprise. This paper explores several key security concerns in batch control system architectures and methods for addressing these issues.
By Pamela Mars, Batch Product Manager, Honeywell
AS BATCH control systems have grown from proprietary to open systems networked both within the plant and with expanded links throughout the enterprise, the ability to share information and access data across platforms has reached levels that were never possible before.

Attempts at unauthorized access can come from outside the process area through viruses and external attacks. These security requirements may come from internal business rules or external regulatory agencies that work to ensure product quality and process safety.
