RWE boosts security on Scada networks
RWE, Europe’s second-largest power generator, is stepping up security for the systems that control operations at its UK power stations, and will consider whether to upgrade network security across its 8,000-megawatt generating capacity.
The move is a response to UK government guidelines for members of the critical national infrastructure (CNI) to tighten security in the wake of 9/11, the London bombs and the heightened threat from terrorists and activists. It will also enable RWE npower -the company’s UK arm – to compete more effectively in energy markets.
