FactoryTalk security in ControlFLASH Plus

FactoryTalk®

security is designed to provide a layer of application security. Its purpose is to protect against internal threats that are either malicious or accidental by limiting access to only those individuals who legitimately need access to specific automation assets.

FactoryTalk

security allows centralized administration of user accounts and access permissions. Security information, including user authentication and authorization, can be shared across all software products and hardware devices on a particular computer, throughout a plant, or across an entire enterprise.
