Verano Acquires SCADA Security and Integration Firm
MANSFIELD, Mass. -- Verano Inc., a provider of security and SCADA solutions for mission-critical industries, announced it has acquired PlantData Technologies, a SCADA security, IT services and industrial automation firm headquartered in Houston, Texas. Remaining an independent subsidiary of Verano, PlantData Technologies compliments all aspects of Verano’s business from its security solutions to its mission-critical SCADA platform and integration services.
Both companies practice SCADA and mission-critical real-time security, targeting customers in power generation, transmission and distribution, water distribution and treatment, gas and liquid pipelines, and mass transit systems. PlantData works with customers such as ExxonMobil Chemical, National Oilwell Varco, Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) and Seneca Resources Corporation. In conducting network security assessments, PlantData gains a first-hand view of the actual issues that plant operators encounter. In most cases, their cyber assessment teams can detect weaknesses and identify security threats before they are even known to exist.
“Acquiring PlantData Technologies supports Verano’s strategy of being the leading provider of security and SCADA solutions for mission-critical industries,” said Brian M. Ahern, president and CEO of Verano, Inc. “PlantData’s extensive real-time security services and SCADA systems integration experience strengthen our market position. This acquisition enables us to fulfill the increase in demand for both security and SCADA deployments while also assisting with feature enhancements to our award-winning Industrial Defender security solution.”
