Siemens SICAM GridPass Certificate manager software

SICAM GridPass Certificate manager – based on international standards, manages digital certificates automatically to enable effective and efficient management of security controls, thereby forming a cornerstone of a scalable PKI for the next-generation substations.

Features

Cybersecurity is at the forefront of network operators considerations in digitalizing power systems.

Cybersecurity is best achieved with a defense-in-depth approach. Combining multiple security controls.

These include:

• Identity management
• Access control
• Secure communication
• Malware protection
• Data protection
• Settings protection

Management of these security controls can become a cumbersome and time-consuming activity with the ever increasing number of digitalized and interconnected products and services in power systems. Establishing a public key infrastructure (PKI) helps cope with these increasing demands in a scalable manner by bringing certificate-based security to power systems.

SICAM GridPass manages the following aspects:

• Authenticate: Check identity and authenticity of automated signing requests
• Issue: Sign certificates automatically or manually
• Renew: Renew certificates
• Revoke: Manage and publish a list of revoked certificates
