Matrikon OPC Security

The Matrikon OPC Security Gateway (OSG) protects third-party real-time and historical OPC Classic architectures. Unlike typical OPC solutions that use basic DCOM-based security, OSG gives detailed control over who can browse, add, read, or write to specific OPC items, managing both user and item access at a granular level for any OPC server.Built on the OPC Foundation's security standards, OSG ensures maximum compatibility with other systems and transforms your OPC architecture from a security weakness into a secure defense component.

Matrikon’s security solutions are ideal for complex environments where legacy systems with minimal security need to integrate with modern technology without risking security or reliability. These thoroughly tested applications help extend the life of old systems while preparing your infrastructure for the future.
OSG offers strong security for OPC DA servers, all within a single application. It works alongside Windows DCOM-based security, giving administrators the ability to restrict direct access to OPC servers. With this setup, only OSG and its connected clients can interact with the servers. Additionally, OPC HDA support is available as an option.
