To help provide a flavor of the insights and experience that Tripwire makes available, we’re interviewing several Tripwire in-house experts. You’ll learn more about how they have been working with Belden...

Periodic active network scanning is generally essential to maintain an accurate picture of the network, as significant information is only available upon request and otherwise never present in normal traffic.

An air-gapped network is one that is physically isolated and is NOT connected to any other network. The only way data can be transferred into an air-gapped network is by physically inserting some sort of removable media, such as a USB or removable disk, or by connecting a transient device like a laptop.

Today’s oil and gas operators are moving decisively to capitalize on the innovations driven by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). Benefiting from these networking opportunities means real-time remote monitoring of wellheads. This gives operators the power to continually ensure consistent pressure and flow, as well as transmit data throughout the network for ongoing process improvement. Wellhead control automation often includes compressor control, pumping unit control, gas lift control, injection control and more.

I recently had the honor of being invited back for the second time to speak at the semi-annual meeting sponsored by the Industrial Control Systems Joint Working Group (ICSJWG) within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. I presented some exciting information on new network monitoring technologies, building significantly upon the information I presented last year.
