CNL Software partnership with RADiFlow enables the management of both cyber and physical attacks

The partnership will see the integration of IPSecurity Centre with RADiFlow's secure communication solutions

CNL Software, a world leader in Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) software, partners with RADiFlow, a leading provider of innovative secure communication solutions for critical infrastructure. The combined capabilities will enable the detection, resolution and management of both cyber and physical attacks within a single solution.

The partnership, created under the CNL Software Technology Alliance Program (TAP) will see the integration of IPSecurityCenter, CNL Software’s PSIM solution with RADiFlow’s intelligent secure communication solutions to provide a unified cyber and physical security solution for SCADA networks within the control room.

The project has been accelerated by increasing demand for a converged solution which not only manages disparate physical security technologies, such as perimeter detection systems, ACS and CCTV, but also allows cyber threats to be raised within the PSIM solution. The two companies are working on a joint solution at one of the largest water treatment plants in the US.

“Distributed networks are vulnerable to attacks from both internal and external sources, our technology focusses on how to eliminate this threat from critical infrastructure SCADA networks and communicate its nature to security professionals” commented Ilan Barda, CEO of RADiFlow “Our integration with IPSecurityCenter will ensure this information is distributed to the point of need, so critical infrastructure organisations understand the source of all attacks, be they cyber or physical.”

“As a leading PSIM provider, we are constantly looking for new technologies that will enhance security for users of our software. The convergence of cyber and physical security is a huge advantage, especially where security is critical, as an attack either cyber or physical can have similar consequences” commented Adlan Hussain, Marketing Manager at CNL Software “We are therefore excited to be working with RADiFlow, together we are helping to make this convergence a reality.”
