3 WW TSS-01: Invensys Customer FIRST
Present by: Paul Trapani WELCOME everyone …. I’m Paul and today I’m presenting with John … In the room we also have some representative of Customer FIRST delivery and sales. The Customer FIRST Support and Support Services Program helps our clients protect and extend the value of Invensys products and solutions. The program offers customers the flexibility to choose standardized service offerings from four support tiers, Elite, Premium, Standard or Primary. Each tier includes support services for both hardware and software products with elements such as parts replacement, version upgrades, and technical support.  The intent of this session is to demonstrate how leading companies are taking advantage of the features of Customer FIRST to lower their overall costs.

Is a big question. One of the key corner stones to Invensys’s Cyber Security is the need to secure cyber assets. In our own industry’s we have to look no further than the events of just a couple year ago with viruses like Stuxnet which targeted automation equipment have challenged Invensys and the automation industry to re-think our technologies. Recently, two new viruses linked to Stuxnet have been discovered. These events and our customer’s needs provide the framework that drive “what is cyber security” as listed.

Cyber Security Site Assessment Why do it? Cyber threats and attacks are industry and revenue agnostic Having a cyber security assessment is a critical first step in establishing a defense in depth best practice strategy What is it? An in-depth, on-site review of a customer’s network Establish current architecture, security posture and profile of all assets Network system baseline scan of those assets What do I get? A comprehensive technology assessment including; Network topology, evaluation of network, list of findings, asset report (missing patches, etc.), security shortfalls and best practice recommendations and more Cyber security attacks are on the rise, any industry is a target and size business can be attacked. A cyber security assessments are critical for a company just starting out or a business that has not evaluated their network recently. Everyone can benefit from a cyber assessment. The cyber security team focuses on the 5 primary Invensys industries and has experience in all. As stated on the slide. This is an extensive on-site assessment taking a up to 5 days.
