Infrastructure Security
Entropy Limited, Entropy Management Limited, Inc. and Risk Management Technologies, Inc. have conducted risk assessment and risk management projects for both commercial and governmental organizations concerned with infrastructure security. Included are projects focusing on risks from unintential natural causes (both events which can be seen long ahead of time such as Y2K and sudden events such as environmental catastrophies) and projects concerned with risks from intentional, e.g. criminal, activity.
Computer and Embedded Systems Readiness of Public Utilities
Risk Management Technologies, Inc. (RMT) and Entropy Limited (EL) performed technical assessment of the preparations of more than 450 public utilities representing over 85% of the electric and gas production and distribution in the U.S. and a substantial portion of the power in Canada and a number of countries in Europe, Central and South America, the Pacific Rim and the Far East. These assessments covered inventory, prioritization, testing, redemption, and contingency planning with respect to computers, telecommunication and embedded systems in production, generation, transmission, distribution and business systems and facilities.
