Carving Up Security

Dec. 9, 2008
Many process control engineers and IT technicians are still learning to communicate with each other, but some are sitting down to define roles and divvy up security responsibilities to give their applications and organizations some much-needed peace of mind.
“Can we talk?” If you’re a process control engineer trying to converse and coordinate efforts with an IT technician in the same company, or vice versa, the usual response is “not likely.” However, if you’re trying to discuss security problems, solutions and coordination, then the answer is probably “never” because potential lines of communication are even more closed off.
