Pentesting Re-defined
Let’s say you find a SQL database directly accessible from the internet. It’s the same story all over. There’s really no reason you should have this sort of system directly on the internet. There are much more secure ways to make this system available.
So why do we want to waste time as a tester to try and hack something we already know is insecure and why does the security manager need to pay more for this effort? The only real value is that you use this information to prove to other managers that this access needs to be shut down. So my argument here is that, once you find something that point blank doesn’t belong on the internet, your efforts as a company should be to put resources towards fixing the problem rather than proving that it’s a problem in the first place. It’s a waste of effort at this point.
How Often to Perform Pentesting
IT Leadership is beginning to realize that one Pentest a year is not enough. What happens if an engineer makes a configuration mistake exposing your systems environment one week after your Pentest has been completed? You are basically exposed for a whole year if your vulnerability scans do not detect the issue.
Pentesting as a service is currently offered by a number of companies in this automated fashion. It’s only a matter of time before industry leaders start taking advantage of these technologies. Unfortunately, many organizations only implement the tools required for compliance, but those organizations who are serious about data security will gravitate towards these sorts of technologies that make your security program more effective.

Faces of Logix with Blake Moret
Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO of Rockwell Automation, talks about Logix as a cornerstone of the Factory of the Future.
Logix At The Heart
Most people come into contact with something that has been produced using a Logix controller every day: The car you drive to work, the bottled water you drink at your desk, the dressing you use on your dinner salad, the airport shuttle you use to catch your flight, the package you receive from Amazon. Logix is more than hardware ... it's at the heart of our lives, manufacturing your future.
ODVA Video on Integrated Safety

Start Your Smart Safety Journey
Smarter machines allow smarter manufacturing. An integrated Smart Safety solution provides all the data needed to create a comprehensive picture of the status of the machine or production line.
Smart manufacturing helps you: monitor machine health, increase uptime, improve manufacturing agility, increase safety and productivity and lower total cost of ownership.
Digital transformation acceleration is driving the demand for smart safety solutions, which are now an essential component of a manufacturer’s and processor’s operational resilience strategy, and a key enabler of achieving the productivity required to thrive in this new normal.
To meet this demand, Rockwell Automation has further enhanced its broad portfolio of smart safety solutions.
Safety Automation Builder
The Safety Automation Builder software tool is now integrated with risk assessment software RASWin to help guide engineers through steps of the machinery safety lifecycle within one environment, providing documentation to show compliance with international standards.
See the benefits of Safety Automation Builder outlined in a short animated video.
Five Steps to Improving Safety Maturity
Are you interested in improving your company's machine safety program? Whether your operations are based in one country or around the world, deploying an effective safety program that encompasses all of your plants, employees, machinery, standards and production goals is a substantial undertaking.
Even the most comprehensive safety program can experience head-scratching inconsistencies from plant to plant. Maybe one of your plants is consistently a top safety performer, but another is plagued with ongoing incidents. Perhaps your safety performance is strong across the board, but there are wild variations in safety-related machinery downtime.

A Path to a Secure and Stable Linux Platform
Securing your Linux platform is a full lifecycle activity — from architecture through design and deployment, and on to decommissioning.
With the increasing number of intelligent devices utilizing open source software (OSS), security vulnerabilities are more prevalent than ever. Unaddressed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) can cause excessive technical debt that ultimately weighs on the success of an embedded project. Unaddressed security vulnerabilities and defects can expose your organization to serious risk, leading to reputation damage, financial impact, and even product failure. Security management is a full lifecycle activity. Embedded software teams must be committed to ongoing threat monitoring, rapid assessment and threat prioritization, and timely remediation.
