Nowhere on their page do I see a reference to anything doing actual control. No mention of integration with Allan-Bradley, or Siemens, or GE, or any other actual control system. If your not securing the link between the PC based portion of your control network and the part thats actually controlling things what's the point.

Great comment. The kinds of industrial controls that you mention are the long-term goal for the technology. We are working on a gateway adapter for some of the most common industrial protocols, such as ModbusTCP, and hope to have a product out early next year.

The technology is built up in layers. The base technology we call SecureSieve. We used this to build the first product, ControlMQ, which is a message oriented middleware for use with controls type systems. There are many applications for a MOM middleware such as robotics, medical devices, automation, custom controls, defense, aerospace, etc. We are using the ControlMQ middleware to build the gateway adapters.

Some further details are provided on the website: www.cognoscentisystems.com

I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have.
