Use Cases: Network Operators | Product Vendor | Government | Industrial Control
Many organizations’ lifeblood revenues – and higher average revenue per user (ARPU) - depend on IP services; Wired and mobile service providers are deploying LTE, IPTV and VoIP applications that represent a leap in user experience. Network infrastructure manufacturers are deploying rapidly changing new services and products for IPv6, carrier Ethernet services, and more. Smart grid and critical infrastructure providers are rolling out IPv6, SCADA and others. And Cloud services for applications and storage are fundamentally changing how businesses use applications. All Operator IP services are extremely complex, constantly changing and require the award-winning Mu Test Suite for more rapid deployment at reduced cost.

Industrial Control System Operators & Vendors
Time Magazine notes that the U.S. will spend $2 trillion in the next two decades upgrading electricity and gas infrastructure alone. During this transition from stand-alone
homogenous Industrial Control Systems, where what was once a proprietary network is
becoming exposed to a much larger possible attack surface. The attack surface is
compounded with complex and diverse IT Systems, varied programmable
logic controllers, SCADA Control Systems, Weapon platforms, or Combat
Systems. Importantly, software bugs that were previously isolated in
proprietary networks are now exploitable since the vulnerabilities are now more widely
exposed via the open IP network.
One industrial control systems end user recently
selected Mu Dynamics to provide robustness testing and proactive service
assurance through analysis, assessment, and remediation based upon
the National Defense Infrastructure (NDI) and International Defense
Infrastructure (INDI) requirements. Deploying the Mu Test Suite helps the industrial control systems operator assess the potential impact
to military and support operations that would result from the loss or
compromise of infrastructure services. Infrastructure Analysis and
Assessment, Remediation, Indications and Warning, Mitigation, Response,
and Reconstitution - span activities that occur before, during, and
after events that result in infrastructure compromise or disruption.
Government end users also benefit from using the service analyzer to embrace
prudent business and operational planning practices to mitigate the
potential impact of the loss or compromise of industrial control system devices used within critical infrastructure settings.
As a result, they now provide Department Indications and Warning
(I&W) to support national critical infrastructure protection.
Several industrial control system end users (asset owners) and a number of vendor suppliers are now using Mu's real-world MUSIC Certification
Program to proactively measure these safety and reliability issues before they
occur. Mu Dynamics strongly supports the work of the ISA Security Compliance Institute, which is creating a new ISASecure® logo program that will replace MUSIC™ as soon as ISCI certifies that the Mu Test Suite is an authorized test device within the ISASecure® logo program.
The Mu Test Suite supports an optional Digital I/O Monitor channel
to facilitate the thorough characterization of control system
elements' (e.g., PLCs, etc.) digital output to ensure that even under
the most strenuous normal and exceptional network traffic conditions
the digital I/O control channel is not interrupted.
