### Watch the first Opto 22 developer video of 2023 as host Terry Orchard explains Secure Shell access for both *groov* EPIC and RIO devices.

Welcome to the first of many new developer videos you'll see in 2023! Terry Orchard returns as your host to walk you through an important programming option for *groov* EPIC and *groov* RIO devices: Secure Shell  (SSH).

If you use C/C++, Python, Java, or other languages, you can use what you already know to build custom applications and run them on the [*groov* EPIC](https://www.opto22.com/products/groov-epic-system)processor or [*groov* RIO](https://www.opto22.com/products/groov-rio) edge I/O module through Secure Shell access.

The SSH protocol provides a secure remote login from one computer device to another. With strong authentication options (including passwords and public key authentication), plus strong encryption protection for communication security and integrity, SSH offers secure access for both users and automated processes. 

Follow along in this [12 minute video](https://www.opto22.com/support/resources-tools/videos/video-getting-started-with-groov-epic-rio-secur) to learn how to get a Shell license, activate, and then install it on your *groov* devices.

### See how system integrators in water/wastewater, natural gas production, and manufacturing leveraged MQTT and industrial edge devices to securely access and use key data.

If your goal is to get useful data from field devices and legacy systems, you’ve probably found that putting together an IIoT system is complicated, requiring many OT and IT devices, software, and protocols.

But these 3 real-world case studies show how two tools—the MQTT communications protocol and industrial edge devices—can simplify your IIoT project.

### Join us for another episode of IntegrateLive! dedicated to the MQTT Sparkplug specification.

Kick off the new year with a discussion led by the Sparkplug Working Group in the [first IntegrateLive! event of 2023](https://www.integratelive.com/posts/mqtt-sparkplug-special-edition-29853581). With the recent release of Sparkplug 3.0, this special edition of IntegrateLive! will offer more insight and in-depth conversation on the new spec and how to choose your next Sparkplug-compliant solution.

Opto 22 is a proud member of this Eclipse Foundation group, which is dedicated to educating others on the benefits of MQTT and Sparkplug. The [Sparkplug Working Group](https://sparkplug.eclipse.org/) directly impacts the future success of hundreds of thousands of automation projects by enabling "plug and play" IIoT!
