## How to Connect to an HMI without a VPN

We demonstrate how easy it is to connect to a Human Machine Interface (HMI) without
the need for a VPN or new hardware. During this session, you’ll learn how to gain
access to specific systems in a secure network without ever exposing them to the
public internet.

Many HMI, such as [Allen-Bradley Rockwell Automation PanelView Plus 7](https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/products/hardware/allen-bradley/hmi/graphic-terminals/2711p-panelview-plus-7.html)
speak VNC.

## How to Connect to an HMI without a VPN

Human Machine Interfaces offer technicians an easy way to interact with industrial
control systems and SCADA systems, a lot of which are actually PC’s capable of being
remotely accessed. That means organisations can streamline interaction with those
industrial resources and extend access without requiring a technician to physically
travel somewhere, or they can provide remote access to a vendor for maintenance.
However, with security being a top of mind concern, operators are no longer allowing
remote access via more traditional solutions like a VPN or TeamViewer. So, what’s
the answer?

Secure remote connectivity can be achieved through a Zero Trust Network Access framework.
Organisations, service providers, and vendors can quickly and easily extend access
to an HMI while reducing cyber risks, shortening the time to connect, and improving
efficiency for technicians and engineers.

Join us and learn how organisations are enabling secure connectivity to resources
like an HMI on a factory floor for employees, vendors, and customers – all without
a VPN, new hardware, or client.

## Topics Addressed

 1. How modern connectivity solutions are simultaneously improving efficiency and security.
 2. How to reduce the time and costs of remotely connecting to HMI and Industrial Control
    System or SCADA systems.
 3. A live demonstration of how Agilicus works and what operators and end-users can
    expect.
 4. How to keep your critical systems off the public internet while extending secure
    remote access.
