Modern Converged Control System

Today's control systems not only consist of classic OT components such as data servers, HMIs, and PLCs, but also many IT native elements. With this convergence comes many benefits, but also challenges that were once only the concern for IT. Managing software licensing, implementing secure remote access, configuring and managing a network, configuring and maintaining antivirus software, installing operating system patches, and developing disaster recovery plans are now commonplace practices in modern control systems. Matrix experts have in-depth knowledge of these practices. We will guide you toward developing a plan to operate and maintain your control system investment.

Documentation and Standards Development

You may not have detailed or current documentation of the IACS networks and equipment installed at your facility. Our experts can audit your network switches, cabling, terminations, servers, and data infrastructure, and generate current documentation of your facility’s IACS. We can evaluate your system for gaps in your network, cyber security, and more. We will collaborate with you to develop a roadmap to reach your business goals.
