Emerson Helps Improve Automation System Security

Emerson has released Integrated Patch Management for the DeltaV™ Distributed Control System (DCS) to improve security and reliability. This next generation of patch management technology is a completely new, redesigned solution– from the Emerson patch content servers to the individual workstation patching agent– with a new user interface enabling administrators to better identify the production impact of operating system updates and control system hotfixes. Most importantly, the new solution is hardened against potential threat actors to increase cybersecurity by helping prevent a breach in the secure patch management supply chain.
