ABB's Conference Overview
Industrial facilities often want to utilize Internet connectivity in order to integrate control systems and/or staff from multiple remote locations. How can this be done without risking viruses or inappropriate access to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems? While the quick answer is to “use a Virtual Private Network (VPN)”, until now users have found VPNs to be either unbelievably complex to deploy or ill-suited for handling protocols found in automations networks. This workshop will review how the Tofino® VPN technology has changed the SCADA landscape by letting users take advantage of Internet connectivity without exposing themselves to unnecessary risks or complexity.
