Resources for Cybersecurity in Automation and IIoT Applications

Industrial automation has long been known to carry vulnerabilities at the levels of both technology and practice. Legacy PLCs weren’t designed for connections to untrusted LANs or the internet, and the old password-on-a-sticky-note security policy just doesn’t cut it anymore. 

Opto 22’s groov family of products are designed to support secure architectures for modern industrial control networks, with features like user/client authentication, device-level firewalls, and SSL/TLS encryption.

Use the resources below to learn about products, tools, and strategies that can help you build a secure architecture for your automation and IIoT projects.  Have more questions? Contact us today!
