From the press release:

Toronto, Canada — February 20, 2008

Lofty Perch, Inc. (www.loftyperch.com), a global leader in cyber-security solutions for process control, SCADA, and critical infrastructure announced today that it has been selected by the Department of Homeland Security to be a licensed distributor of the DHS Control Systems Cyber Security Self- Assessment Tool (CS2SAT). This application, created at the Idaho National Laboratory for the DHS National Cyber Security Division, was developed specifically to assist SCADA and Process Control System-users in improving the cyber security posture of their control systems. The CS2SAT application is a security assessment support tool based on industry standards, best practices, and regulatory guidance, and assists asset owners and operators in identifying actionable mitigations for their control system architectures.

“We are very proud in becoming a licensee for this vital technology. Lofty Perch will be able to provide unparalleled service to the SCADA and control system communities based on our history with the tool,” said President and CEO Mark Fabro. “Our industrial cyber security subject matter expertise and market exposure have us perfectly positioned to get this technology to the entire community of interest in the most effective way.”

Lofty Perch has been working with the CS2SAT technology since its inception. Recently their Senior Engineer, Ed Gorski received an award from the Idaho National Laboratory in recognition of his wide-ranging contributions to the CS2SAT project.

Mark Zanotti, Lofty Perch’s VP and Chief Technology Officer, will lead the effort for the CS2SAT support. “In addition to making the tool widely available, we will also be providing direct support to our customers.” said Zanotti. ”Lofty Perch is the first CS2SAT licensee that will not outsource their support function as we can provide direct value based on our work with INL. We are excited about being able to provide our clients with a robust set of services and training designed specifically for the CS2SAT technology.”

Lofty Perch intends to initially license the tool for $399.00 USD. For information on CS2SAT availability, pricing, and services please contact cs2sat@loftyperch.com.
