IS IEC 61850 REALLY SECURE?
In a digitalized and networked world, threats from cyber-attacks are constantly increasing - making it even more important to ensure comprehensive security mechanisms and security-oriented thinking.
In this webinar, Edwin Melenhorst from Locamation, Jérôme Arnaud from Rhebo and Jos Zenner from Welotec answer the question how secure IEC 61850 is and how you can ensure that your substation is protected.
Look forward to three different perspectives and presentations on this topic and learn more about the security obstacles of IEC 61850, cybersecurity requirements as well as how to practically implement security in the substation's secondary systems.

Rhebo's solution has been very well established with German utilities for years. And as a German and vendor-independent company, it offers the trustworthiness and flexibility that our customers expect when securing their system-relevant infrastructure.
With Rhebo, we can not only thoroughly test and prove that our network control technology is running securely and stably, Rhebo also provides us with the detailed insight into our telecontrol technology and process network control in order to quickly detect, limit and rectify new types of attacks and misconfigurations that would otherwise be difficult to see.
With Rhebo, we can be sure that any anomaly in our network control technology is reported in real time and that we can react immediately.
We were impressed by the smooth process and the direct development of sensible measures prepared us very well for upcoming cyber security risks.
The newfound visibility and analytics capability with Rhebo has enabled us to visibly improve the performance of our SCADA technology and the cybersecurity of the wind and PV farms we operate.
Rhebo Industrial Protector impressed us with its functionality, depth of detail and real-time detection of even hidden anomalies.
