OPC UA IEC 62541 is a secure, platform-independent industrial communication standard for OT and IIoT with built-in authentication and encryption.
OPC UA Definition: OPC UA IEC 62541 is a secure, platform-independent industrial communication standard for OT and IIoT with built-in authentication and encryption.
OPC UA, or OPC Unified Architecture, is a platform-independent, service-oriented communication standard IEC 62541 for secure, reliable data exchange in industrial automation and the Industrial Internet of Things. Unlike the older Windows-bound OPC Classic, it offers a rich information model, transport over TCP or HTTPS, and built-in security including authentication, signing, and encryption. Proper hardening requires enabling security policies, certificate management, and disabling anonymous or unencrypted endpoints.
OPC UA is one of the topics you'll master in the SecOT+ Boot Camp.
