Secure Solutions There has never been a second lost to a computer worm or virus on a CG Automation SCADA server. Architecture for Critical Infrastructure RTU and Master use non- Windows operating systems Security Administration Console Broad technologies applied across entire security surface area Focus on attack prevention, detection, audit, recovery High availability options Incorporate state of the art cyber security communications standards Electrical utilities are responsible for defining critical cyber assets which are vital to their continuing operation. These assets are then systematically protected through well defined processes, methods, and procedures outlined in a federal government standard for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). The procedures for compliance follow a standard developmental road map created by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and are contained in the NERC CIP standards found at www.nerc.com. Utilities designated as Responsible Entities are responsible for being auditably compliant with the NERC CIP standards. CG Automation supports the utility s mission critical security compliance efforts by: Adapting provided software/ firmware to comply with NERC CIP guidelines Creating additional software or services to aid in compliance efforts Evaluating third party hardware or software which may be useful for user compliance efforts Implementing and documenting sound internal procedures for supporting compliance with NERC CIP guidelines.

About CG Automation Solutions USA Founded in 1960 as Quindar Electronics Incorporated, the company was an early adopter of solid state technology for industrial applications with the introduction of the first transistorized voice frequency (audio tone) telemetry products for electric network monitoring and control applications. Quindar rapidly became the leading supplier of such products to the electric utility and transit industries. Over the next 50 plus years, QEI has kept pace with the rapidly evolving technology developments in software and hardware. Continuing Research and Development was established and has regularly produced new generations of SCADA systems and RTUs responding to Customer demands and application of improved technology. The addition of new products such as capacitor controls has further expanded QEI s recognition as a market leader in automation. In 1975 the company was reorganized and its name was shortened to QEI (Quindar Electronics Incorporated) and continued to serve the same markets with innovative products and systems. You ve Got the Power We Give you Control In 2011, QEI became the platform for Crompton Greaves LTD (CGL) North American automation operation.
