Bedrock Automation to Sponsor 19th Annual ARC Industry Forum


SAN JOSE, Calif. – Bedrock Automation is proud to announce that it is a sponsor of the 19(th) Annual ARC Industry Forum to be held February 9 - 12, 2015 at the Renaissance Orlando Hotel in Orlando, Florida.



Industry in Transition: The Information Driven Enterprise for the Connected World is the title of this year's ARC Industry Forum which will focus on how new technologies such as Internet of Things, predictive analytics, wireless, additive manufacturing, cloud computing, mobility, and 3D visualization are beginning to disrupt and radically change the way industrial enterprises do business.  Departing from the characteristic industry conservatism, leading companies recognize that they must embrace new information and automation technologies to maintain a competitive edge.



Bedrock Automation is a Silicon Valley company that has assembled the latest technologies and talents to build an unprecedented automation solution for industrial control systems to lead this transition.  The company will be exhibiting this new universal cyber secure industrial control system at the Forum.



In addition, Albert Rooyakkers, Bedrock's CTO, will be an expert panelist in a key session entitled 'Building a Secure-by-Design industrial Internet of Things' on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at the ARC Industry Forum. 



Using the internet as a common communication platform will enable companies to connect systems, machines, sensors, and control devices more uniformly in support of business strategies.  Cyber security requires comprehensive IIoT technologies to span all devices, systems, and cloud platforms.  Bedrock's Open Secure Automation™ system will be a foundational element of the total solution. Joe Weiss, ISA Fellow and author of Protecting Industrial Control Systems From Electronic Threats had this to say:  "The only truly secure way to protect Industrial Control Systems is to embed security in the foundation, namely in the controller itself which requires a complete rethinking of how to architect and build Industrial Control Systems.  Based on my review, Bedrock has rethought the architecture from a clean sheet of paper and embedded the security."
