MODUS Approach/ Methodology

Meet with all project stakeholders to capture all available
information, define parameters, expectations by department
and scope for a successful project. This stage helps to
eliminate future disconnects between what the Customer
thought they were going to receive and what was delivered.

Record and document Q&A between the Fancom design
team and Customer project team. The Questions Matrix
helps better define design details, i.e. analog vs IP, timeline,
cost parameters, legacy systems OEMs or whether the
customer has in place preferred equipment suppliers.

– Presentation of site investigations findings
– Identify key areas of concern
– Review key Recommendations

Captures all project requirements, codes,
standards, specifications, drawing requirements, customer supplied references along with
allowances for future growth in personnel or
operations.

– Identify 3-4 possible design alternatives, its
strengths and weaknesses
– Review financial, technical and business case
suitability
– Score each alternative, make recommendation

Identifies the various design components
and systems required to complete the
project. This includes the use of drawing
and specification section checklists for all
Division 27 and Division 28 subsections as
applicable.

– Present conceptual design solution
– Seek client review and input

Summarizes the overall scope of work of the project in a
timeline Gantt chart that includes: Conceptual design, detailed
design development, construction document, tender support,
construction management, commissioning, training and
closeout services to be provisioned.

Customer review and approval of Fancom’s Statement of
Work including deliverables, budget, milestone timelines
frequency of progress reporting, seeking approval to proceed.

EdgeSentry is a network security appliance that provides intrusion detection for IoT/OT centric networks. EdgeSentry learns the normal behavior of the network, logging every device that joins the network and time-date stamping every network connection that device makes. This information is critical for building a scheduled security service (security lifecycle) and for conducting a post mortem of any cyber security incident. Alarm events are created when devices become unavailable, stop behaving normally or start making connections to off-network addresses.

In the event of a priority alert, EdgeSentry acts. If an unauthorized device connects to the network, EdgeSentry utilizes an integration to the site's network switches to block that connection. If an authorized device commits an unauthorized behavior (use of an unsafe protocol or connecting to an unknown off-LAN location), EdgeSentry blocks that behavior, allowing the device to continue its normal operation.

EdgeSentry supports real time monitoring of multiple sites through the map based ES-Monitor software. Learn more at lmnsoftwarecorp.com
