Red Tiger Security has been working alongside with the University of Houston to develop a Control Systems Security Laboratory. The Control Systems Security Lab is the College’s latest addition to the Information Security program. This laboratory offers hands-on time with actual SCADA equipment and the opportunity to learn how to secure critical elements of our nation’s infrastructure.

Used in energy, pipelines, oil and gas, water, traffic control, aviation, manufacturing and many other critical infrastructure systems, control systems represent the interfaces between computers and the real world. Securing these devices has become increasingly important with the advent of the Internet to interconnect our systems and the subsequent host of threats that have appeared in the past few years.
