Cyber security and system hardening solutions
Helping to protect your assets from malicious cyber activity while enhancing operational efficiency
Protecting your assets
There are many efficiencies from an increasingly digitalised and connected world. However, there are also many threats due to system vulnerabilities and malicious cyber-attacks.
As with any process system, unplanned downtime of an operator’s flow computer and control system can have a significant impact on operational and bottom-line performance.
That’s why our experts recommend that your operating system is routinely updated for the latest security patches, or upgraded with a particular emphasis on cyber security to support optimum safety and asset performance.
Enhancing performance through state-of-the-art digital, connected and software upgrades
Cyber security upgrades
Two key factors underpin our approach to cyber security upgrades:
- Ensuring that it complies with Operation Technology Cyber Security standards ISA 99 / 62443.
- That it is functional from an output perspective; ensuring the upgraded systems are fit for purpose and continue to support effective and efficient operations.
This approach has and continues to be applied for the benefit of our customers, including the development of an independent domain control cyber security network – the first to be installed by a metering system integrator in the Middle East.

Enhancing protection and performance through cyber security upgrades combined with periodic system hardening services
System hardening services
Applicable for both new systems and retrospective enhancement of systems in the field, Alderley’s Hardening Services give you the assurance you need
in your measurement system security.
Utilising our proprietary Hardening Tool, our experts will scan and modify all necessary user accounts, permissions and settings to effectively harden your metering supervisory computer – reducing your risk from malicious attacks and misuse.
Enhanced security and performance
After conducting an initial scan, our experts will provide a detailed PDF report on the installed operating system, Antivirus and host name, along with the incumbent system settings.
These settings can then be promptly configured using our System Hardening tool, with a further scan conducted and supporting PDF report issued upon completion to prove the successful safeguarding of your system, and system compliance with your security commitments.
