LAN SYSTEMS TEACHES COMPUTER SECURITY AT
2009 SOUTHEASTERN METER
SCHOOL
Norcross, Georgia – March 18, 2009 – LAN
Systems, a leading Atlanta IT Consulting company, spoke on Computer and Network Security at the 2009 Southeastern Meter
School held March 16-19 in Auburn, AL.
Increasing concern for the safety of the power grid compels
utilities to continuously evaluate security for their facilities
and systems. “We would
like to share our knowledge of security for SCADA systems with the
AMI/AMR community because the systems have many parallels,” said
LAN Systems CEO, Mary Hester. “Security standards similar to those
for SCADA will certainly be part of future AMI/AMR regulations.”
In order to
make the topics of general interest, LAN Systems included information on security
problems that you will see on your home computer.
Attendees shared their experiences with computer problems
from malware and we discussed tools to remove even insidious
infections.
SCADA –
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
AMI/AMR –
