Overview

NOTE

Using the defense-in-depth concept

To protect industrial plants and systems comprehensively against cyber attacks, measures must be applied simultaneously at all levels. From the operational level up to the field level – from access control to copy protection. Therefore, apply the "Defense-in-depth" protection concept to avoid security risks in your environment before setting up the OPC UA server.

Note that, in particular, the company network must not be connected to the Internet without suitable protective measures.

Further information on the defense-in-depth concept, protective measures and general Industrial Security can be found in the Industrial Security Configuration Manual.
