  Recent advances in portable devices allow end users convenient wasy to access data over the network. Networked control systems have traditionally been kept on local or internal networks to prevent external threats and isolate traffic. The UMWC Clinical Neutron Therapy System has its control system on such an isolated network. Engineers have been updating the control system with EPICS, and have developed EDM-based interfaces for control and monitoring. This project describes a tablet-based monitoring device being developed to allow the engineers to monitor the system, while, e.g. moving from rack to rack, or room to room. EDM is being made available via the tablet. Methods to maintain security of the control system and tablet, while providing ease of access and meaningful data for management are being created. In parallel with the tablet development, security and penetration tests are also being produced.
