CULVER CITY, CA--(Marketwired - August 04, 2014) - SCALABLE Network Technologies, Inc. (SCALABLE), a leader in wireless network design and optimization tools, announced today that it will be demonstrating network simulation-based solutions for evaluating critical infrastructure environments for resiliency to cyber-attacks at the Black Hat 2014 security conference in Las Vegas on 6-7 August. Company representatives will use high fidelity virtual network models of power distribution environments and railway signaling systems to show the effects of various types of cyber-attacks on the availability of communications and control systems. The demonstrations will take place at the Parsons booth number 727 in the business hall, highlighting SCALABLE's support of Parsons' cyber security for critical infrastructure initiatives.
