How to Design a Secure Industrial Automation System

Change your automation system from a security vulnerability into a security asset

Industrial control system (ICS) security has been a problem for a long time. Traditional PLCs weren’t designed for today’s connected environments, and it takes too many extra devices to make them secure, increasing complexity, and driving up costs.

Modern edge programmable industrial controllers (EPICs), like Opto 22’s groov EPIC, are designed to help you build a secure system for gathering, processing, and sharing data from industrial equipment.
