Secure your AVEVA™ InTouch HMI applications with user roles, password policies, and audit trails. Protect your plant and meet compliance standards.
Industrial HMIs are gateways to critical operations. Without proper access control, unauthorized users can alter setpoints, disable equipment, or bypass alarms — leading to safety risks and compliance failures. InTouch HMI provides built-in tools for user management and security policies to protect your systems.
Security Practices
Role-Based Access
Define roles like Operator, Supervisor, and Engineer, each with specific privileges.
Strong Password Policies
Enforce password complexity and regular resets to prevent unauthorized access.
Audit Trails
Log every user action — from setpoint changes to equipment overrides — for accountability.
Unique Accounts
Never share logins between multiple operators. Unique accounts ensure traceability.
Example & Best Practice
At one facility, all operators logged in with the same “Operator” account. After an unexpected valve change, no one could identify who made the adjustment. By implementing unique logins with audit trails, the plant gained full accountability and met cybersecurity compliance.
Best practice: Integrate InTouch HMI security with Windows Active Directory for centralized management.
