Industrial Security in Action: Understanding AVEVA InTouch HMI's Security Framework

Today's industrial operations require visualization systems that are both accessible and secure. AVEVA InTouch HMI addresses these requirements through built-in security features designed for industrial environments.

Core Security Features

InTouch HMI includes essential security capabilities that help protect your industrial visualization systems:

Access Control

InTouch implements role-based access control, allowing organizations to manage who can access different aspects of their visualization system. This means operators, engineers, and managers can each have appropriate levels of system access based on their responsibilities.

Secure Communications

The system protects data moving between components through encrypted communications, helping ensure the integrity of your operational information.

Authentication

InTouch supports Windows authentication mechanisms, enabling organizations to manage user access through standard domain security. This integration helps maintain consistent security policies across industrial systems.

Secure Remote Access

One of InTouch's key strengths is its ability to provide secure remote visualization through web browsers.

This capability includes:

  • Access through any HTML5-compliant browser
  • Support for Windows authentication
  • Encrypted communications for remote connections
  • Role-based security maintenance for remote users

Real-World Application

Consider how these security features work in practice:

  • Operators access visualization screens with appropriate permissions
  • Remote users connect securely through web browsers
  • Authentication ensures only authorized users access the system
  • Encrypted communications help protect operational data

Implementation Considerations

When implementing InTouch HMI security features, organizations typically focus on:

  • Defining appropriate user roles and access levels
  • Planning authentication strategies
  • Configuring secure remote access
  • Establishing network security requirements

Moving Forward

Understanding InTouch HMI's security capabilities is an important part of any implementation decision. These built-in features provide foundational security while maintaining operational efficiency.
