1 Protect Your Assets Cyber Security Engineering Control Systems. Power Plants. Hurst Technologies

2 Cyber Security The hackers are out there and the cyber security threats to your power plant are real. That s why you need Hurst Technologies the power plant security experts on your cyber security team. With over two decades of power plant instrumentation and control engineering experience and expertise in both cyber and physical security systems, we have the right combination of qualifications to protect your plant. Cyber security represents new functional requirements at power plants that may not have existed when the plant was designed. Hurst s engineers understand the new requirements and the existing systems into which they must be integrated. Managing cyber security requires: a knowledgeable assessment of vulnerability, strategies for mitigation and compliance, design and engineering of systems, project management, and monitoring and oversight.

3 Compliance Hurst knows the cyber security rules. We helped review and develop them. Hurst s engineers have acted as reviewers for the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards (CIPS), are members of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Working Groups, and are voting members for International Society for Automation (ISA) 99A, the process control cyber security group. With our knowledge of evolving rule requirements, our power plant expertise, and our cyber security experience, you will save time and money and eliminate the what if? questions that keep you up at night.

4 Engineering Engineering In-depth defense for critical industries power, nuclear, chemical and petrochemical. Hurst s experience providing in-depth cyber security defense systems includes state-of-the-art cybercompliant systems for many of our nation s critical industries. In particular, our nuclear plant expertise is second to none. From our work on the first digital controls retrofit at a US nuclear plant in the mid1990s, we ve worked with more than half the nuclear plants in the US fleet. We ve worked with I&C and automation systems of every vintage, version, and variation, and understand that they often get extensively modified once installed. DCS systems may lack a configuration management (CM) tool for the DCS, the plant computer, or the myriad software and performance applications and communications gateways. So, when our clients need CM tools, we build them custom designed to meet their specific needs.

5 Experience Project and audit management for today s plant operating environment. We re already familiar with the audit procedures and paper trail requirements associated with the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). With Hurst, your paperwork and audit requirements will be done right and done on time the very first time. Hurst s engineers understand that plant DCS operating requirements don t always support the security models used by the rest of the IT industry. We engineer systems to bridge the gap and integrate the two. And, we know how to ensure your plant and your corporate IT systems communicate to share the sensitive security data your team needs. Plus, we understand that your cyber security system must be both robust and fully integrated into today s plant operating environment through wired or wireless connections, to keep all your data safe.

6 Independent Vendor Independent. System Interconnected. Hurst doesn t sell pre-packaged cyber security solutions we determine the solution that is right for you. Our cyber security experience includes all the vendors supplying I&C, distributed control, and automation systems to the power industry. Hurst is an owner s engineer, not a vendor disguised as a consultant or a rep for a generic cyber-security firm. We know cyber security, we know control systems, and we know power plants. Innovative Solutions. Comprehensive Approach. Hurst s engineers understand that your plant must operate efficiently as a single, self-contained unit, as an integrated part of your generation asset base, and as a seamless part of the grid as a whole. We know everything must work together like a single, seamless unit. So, we don t just layer new cyber security software on top of existing systems; we design and implement unique solutions into your processes from the control architecture up. We even have cyber security solutions that address the islands of automations issues power plants suffer with today. Bottom line: You will find that our cyber security expertise and power plant engineering experience fits your needs and your budget.
