When is the best time to start using cmplid://?
The next assessment you begin is the best assessment to assess with cmplid://
The next batch of CVEs you analyze is the best batch to analyze with cmplid://
The next plant modification is the best mod to use cmplid://’s design specification tool with
Your current processes for each of these functions suffer from a lack of automation.
While speaking with a number of people at the recent NEI Cyber Security Implementation Workshop in Boston, I was reminded again how dim many participants view the “assessment tool” market. Many of you see cmplid:// as merely an alternative to your existing commercial or internally developed tools. It is not. cmplid:// is a security automation solution, that yes can be used to complete assessments, but that is not where the story ends. It is not an alternative to a word processor,
We are at it again. This time we will be bringing a rare treat, a box of Fuente Fuente Opus X Angels Share. Look for us Tuesday night and Wednesday night on the river in front of the hotel.
Join cmplid:// and Sheffield Scientific for the 1st Annual Herf after Vendor Night at the NITSL Conference. July 19th 2017 at 9:45 PM at The Occidental Cigar Club in San Francisco. We a have a box of My Father Le Bijoux 1922 Toro cigars. Reserve your stick at the cmplid:// booth (#40) in the vendor hall Wednesday between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM!
cmplid:// is designed to support a very specific methodology of security analysis. The method is resource-based, attribute-information, and objective-supporting. Each of these aspects of the method provides increased efficiency or increased effectiveness in the management of a security program. However, the basic method is extremely flexible and allows organizations to implement their program in a manner that makes most sense to them.
To explain this a bit more fully, let’s compare the traditional approach for Nuclear Cyber Security programs based on NEI 08-09 (All controls must be addressed for all CDAs),

We have just released a new set of features in cmplid:// designed to assist users with better understanding the control application logic their cyber security programs implement. One of those features is the visualization of the logic network configured within cmplid://. This image shows a very high-level view of the Attributes and their values relevant to a nuclear cyber security program implementing NEI 08-09 or NRC RG 5.71. This type of visualization can be extremely helpful throughout the plant modification process,

Richard Dahl, founder and ceo of cmplid:// will be speaking at the ICS JWG Spring Meeting in Minneapolis April 11th – 13th. Stop by our booth and say hello if you’re attending.
Presentation Description:
Vulnerability Management is a difficult function in general, however, for Operational Technology environments, e.g., industrial control systems,
SCADA systems, IoT or other non-traditional technology managers, it is extremely problematic.
Generally, vulnerabilities can be classified as either those resulting from source-code errors or configuration issues within a software package.

Richard Dahl, cmplid://’s CEO will be speaking at the ICS JWG Fall Conference September 13-15 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
A Simplified Approach to Implementing the NIST CSF within Operational Technologies
The NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure provides guidance for many industries for securing Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems supporting critical functions and processes. Use of the framework provides system owners with a view of deployed security postures and technical outcomes desired that can be used to manage cyber security risks.

At the NITSL conference last week in Charlotte I had a great discussion with some really smart people from a US Nuclear Licensee. They were all former colleagues of mine from my past life as a consultant. One of them asked the group of us what we would do to improve or replace NEI 08-09 in order to make the cyber security program for nuclear power plants sustainable.
I love the challenge of the question but feel that in order to answer it,
cmplid:// will be at NITSL in Charlotte July 18-21. Come check us out Wednesday night for your chance to win a Bowers & Wilkins T7 bluetooth speaker. Sounds Amazing! We will of course, be providing live demos of the best security management automation solution known to man.
