Bedrock Automation to Sponsor 2014 ICS Cyber Security Conference

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Bedrock Automation is proud to announce that it is a sponsor of the 2014 Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cyber Security Conference, to be held October 20 – 23, 2014 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

Now in its 12th year, the conference is the foremost and longest-running cyber security-focused event series for the industrial control systems sectors and will cater to the energy, utility, chemical, transportation, manufacturing, and other industrial and critical infrastructure organizations.

Produced by SecurityWeek, the conference will address ICS/SCADA topics including protection for SCADA systems, plant control systems, engineering workstations, substation equipment, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other field control system devices.

"The value to attendees at the conference is inherent with the robust exchange of technical information, actual incidents, insights and best practices to help protect critical infrastructures from cyber attacks," said Joe Weiss, founder of the ICS Cyber Security Conference, which was acquired by SecurityWeek in April 2014. 

"The IT community and ICS community are now bridging the security gap," Weiss added. "It has become paramount that critical infrastructures balance the needs of ICS reliability and safety with cyber security."
