Reduced Risk with Server-Side Authentication (SSA)

Authentication is a critical aspect of cybersecurity, ensuring that only authorized individuals, services, and applications can access company resources. Since version 3.17, SSA (Server-Side Authentication) has been the default authentication method in WinCC OA. This shift minimizes the risk of data breaches and strengthens overall security by centralizing user authentications: With SSA, the authentication process is performed on the server side, which means that not all user credentials need to be transmitted over the network at the beginning. Additionally, SSA offers enhanced scalability, allowing it to keep pace with your growing operational demands.
