Not too long ago, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) was the reigning champ of utility management systems. Like the old hammer in your toolbox, it’s straightforward and effective: SCADA keeps tabs on your utility processes, collecting and displaying data and controlling your essential operations. But as the demands on utilities scale up, the good old hammer might not be enough for the job anymore. Enter the power drill, called ADMS.
Power utilities are digitizing operations and increasing interconnectivity to enable distributed, renewable energy production and to manage grid control. Meanwhile, cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure are on the rise, and governments are requiring operators to be prepared for the new threat landscape. Exceed requirements by managing security and operational risk with ICS/SCADA-specific threat intelligence and automation.
In order to keep pace with the speed of innovation required by today’s businesses, NKSoft Consulting has developed a framework to enable the modern distributed network.
The framework focuses on five key areas: Architecture, Automation, Testing, Security and Governance.
By prioritizing flexibility & decentralization over rigidity & centralization, the Network Modernization Framework provides a path to a network with the lowest latency, lowest cost, quickest provisioning and highest availability.
