Webinar: How to Solve Secure Operational Data Integrity and Availability with MQTT

Join Opto 22 and Cirrus Link Solutions for an important webinar addressing cybersecurity and data integrity with MQTT.

The topic of cybersecurity has been in recent news headlines and is always a concern for automation professionals designing or upgrading their industrial control systems. Opto 22 technology partner, Cirrus Link Solutions, has invited us to participate in a new webinar addressing these concerns. Make plans to join us on June 30th for some revealing product demos and discussions.

Webinar: Secure and Democratize the Data in Your Customer’s Brownfield OT Devices

Hosted by the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA), Opto 22 will be presenting a webinar as part of the CSIA Master Class Demo series: Secure and Democratize the Data in Your Customer's Brownfield OT Devices.

There are millions of legacies, brownfield OT devices at your customer sites still dutifully performing the tasks they were designed for. However, these same devices are struggling to find their place in today’s digital transformation initiatives, largely due to lack of security and no support for modern IIoT protocols and payloads. 

However, with the gateway functions built into edge programmable industrial controllers (EPICs), you can now add critical cybersecurity features to your legacy systems, while simultaneously democratizing the valuable operational data they harness. Using Opto 22’s groov EPIC, this presentation will show you step-by-step how to securely protect and integrate brownfield PLCs and their operational data into a modern IIoT infrastructure.

Ignition Community Conference 2021

Opto 22 is looking foward to being a part of the annual Ignition Community Conference, hosted by our Technology Partner Inductive Automation. This year's event is expanding to 2 days and will once again be a free, virtual experience.

The conference will be using new event platforms for attendees to easily connect with presenters and community members from anywhere. Learn from case studies of real-world Ignition projects and have access to a varirety of Ignition software experts and thought leaders.

Ignition Community Live: Ignition Edge at the I/O Level
