### Watch our live demo–recorded from the ProveIt! Conference–to see how brownfield and greenfield assets integrate into a Unified Namespace (UNS) to give you a competitive edge.

We attended the first annual ProveIt! Conference on February 18-20th in Dallas, Texas. This brand new conference was unique—because instead of just setting up a booth and talking about our solutions, we were required to **prove it** live on stage!

### ENTELEC transformed your typical conference and trade show event with the Innovations Lab.

It started out as a brave idea: What would make this conference more fun? How about a multi-vendor, collaborative lab of innovation!

### A look at how edge devices and interoperability standards are paving the way for the fourth industrial revolution.

As we enter the so-called fourth industrial revolution, which aims to finally close the gap between distributed automation systems and business systems, let’s take a quick look back at some of the developments that got us here and where they point for the future.

### Best practices for cybersecurity and more from the *groov* EPIC v3.2 update to help you get sign-off on critical security upgrades.

<https://www.opto22.com/support/resources-tools/documents/2310-groov-epic-cybersecurity-design-and-best-prac>Solarwinds, Oldsmar, Colonial, JBS—with all the cybersecurity news filling our inboxes, news feeds, and social channels, your customers may finally be ready to talk about a more rigorous security strategy.

So I figured this was a relevant time to share our recently updated tech note, “[*groov* EPIC Cybersecurity Designs and Best Practices](https://www.opto22.com/support/resources-tools/documents/2310-groov-epic-cybersecurity-design-and-best-prac).” It details the mindset and specific actions that can change your automation from a security vulnerability into a security asset.

Opto 22 is making the best of the new normal. 

Like most of you, it seems I’m doing all of my communicating through my computer or mobile device, whether at home or at work. I find myself longing for face-to-face meetings and wanting to visit you and your facility, plant, or remote site to learn more about how you apply Opto products in your applications.

Another thing I regret is that we’re unable to host you here at Opto 22 headquarters. Maybe you were planning to attend our interactive *groov* EPIC factory training, visit with our sales and application engineers, or just take a tour of our USA-based manufacturing facility here in Temecula, CA, where we proudly make everything we design, sell, and support. All those activities are currently on hold for now.

But technology gives us ways to meet virtually.

The recent announcement of security vulnerabilities discovered in the Wind River® VxWorks® IPnet TCP/IP stack has prompted questions from Opto 22 customers about what impact this discovery may have on TCP/IP-based products developed and manufactured by Opto 22.

Opto 22 would like to reassure our customers that, after careful and thorough review, we can state that **none of our hardware or software products contain the VxWorks IPnet TCP/IP stack** or variants of that software and are, therefore, **not directly exposed to any attacks that might target these vulnerabilities**. This statement applies to the recent Opto 22 product family *groov* EPIC® (edge programmable industrial controller), the *groov*® Edge Appliance (*groov* Box), the SNAP PAC® System, and SNAP Ethernet I/O® products.

These security vulnerabilities, dubbed URGENT/11 by Armis, an enterprise IoT security firm that made the discoveries, have far-reaching implications and affect an extremely large array of industrial, medical, and enterprise environments. These include mission-critical systems such as SCADA, industrial controllers, PLCs, PACs, and more. Other systems outside traditional industrial devices like patient monitors and MRI machines, as well as firewalls, routers, modems, VOIP phones, and printers are also affected.

Your industrial plants and facilities produce a lot of data that you could use for improving processes, reducing maintenance costs, and making better business decisions. But securely getting that data from the sensors, transmitters, and analyzers that produce it to the people who need it can be difficult.
