Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for integrating third party automation systems. One computer-implemented method includes calculating, by at least one of a first device and a second device, a risk level, and controlling, by the at least one of the first device and the second device, a switch based on the risk level. If the risk level is less than a predetermined value, the switch is controlled to power on an image display and capturing device. Data is displayed by the first device and received by the second device through visual recognition on the image display and capturing device. If the risk level is not less than the predetermined value, the switch is controlled to power off the image display and capturing device. Data transfer from the first device to the second device through visual recognition on the image display and capturing device is stopped.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and computer systems, for role-based plants unattended premises occupancy monitoring, mapping, and events logging. One computer implemented method includes unlocking a mechanical door controllable by a computing device upon successfully validating login information input by an occupant, performing an occupancy footprint mapping (OFM) by periodically calculating the occupant's location using a triangulation process, determining an identity of the occupant based a received RFID signal, identifying a job role for the occupant based on the occupant's identity, identifying a normal OFM associated with the occupant's job role, calculating a deviation between the OFM and the normal OFM, sending a security event including the OFM to a Syslog server and an object linking, and sending an embedding for process control alarm to a human machine interface if the deviation exceeds a predetermined deviation tolerance threshold.

Abstract: A system for centrally controlling access by computers in a corporate network to a plant network that runs plant applications. The system includes an access control computer in communication with the corporate network and includes a memory, a processor coupled to the memory and a multi-user application stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The multi-user application communicates with a plurality of computers in the corporate network concurrently and communicates with at least one plant application running in the plant network to retrieve data from and pass data to the plant application on behalf of the plurality of computers in the corporate network concurrently. Since all communication from the plurality of computers is tunneled through the access control computer, the likelihood of any virus or worm spreading into the plant network is minimized.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and program product to perform a cyber security risk assessment on a plurality of process control networks and systems comprising a plurality of primary network assets at an industrial process facility, are provided.
