Created by the OPC Foundation, OPC is the interoperability standard for the secure and reliable exchange of data in the industrial automation space. Owl’s OSTS application provides a mechanism where data (real-time data, monitoring of alarms and events, historical data) can be accessed within an OT network using the OPC standard interface. An Owl data diode solution then transfers the data across the network security boundary to business users on the IT networks. This provides external users with access to plant data without jeopardizing the cybersecurity of the OT network.
