ASKx DeepDives: when the AVEVA roadmap meets industrial constraints
ASKx DeepDives are not standardised presentations.
They are technical exchange sessions bringing together publishers, certified integrators and feedback from the field.
The programme for these two days of practical analysis includes:
- Operations Control and its developments
- Composable and model-driven MES
- PI System and CONNECT
- Initial structural elements around System Platform 2026
The common goal: to anticipate and secure technical decisions and create sustainable operational value.
By 2026, OT cybersecurity will become a foundation, not an option.
Industrial cybersecurity is no longer a secondary issue.
It is becoming a key parameter in OT architectures.
With the entry into force of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), industrial digital products will have to meet stricter security requirements.
In concrete terms, this means:
- clearer compliance requirements
- greater responsibility in technological choices
- architectures designed to last, not just to pass an audit
Cybersecurity is no longer an afterthought.
It is designed into the architecture from the outset.
AVEVA Operations Control: concrete developments in response to the CRA
One key point discussed during the ASKx DeepDives caught our attention.
The AVEVA Operations Control portfolio now includes targeted enhancements to strengthen cybersecurity and anticipate regulatory alignment with the CRA.
System Platform, InTouch and related components are evolving to:
- strengthen the native security of OT environments
- limit attack surfaces
- facilitate long–term compliance
These developments confirm a strong trend: security is becoming a functional component, not an add–on.
An approach consistent with our Endorsed positioning
This vision is fully aligned with our approach to supporting manufacturers.
At B2C Engineering, industrial cybersecurity:
- is not dealt with at the time of an audit
- is not imposed by regulatory constraints
- is built in from the design phase onwards.
This is also the basis for our position as an AVEVA Endorsed System Integrator, the highest level of integrator certification at AVEVA.
Being at the heart of the ecosystem means anticipating, testing, comparing and translating technological developments into reliable and usable solutions.
Anticipate today to secure tomorrow's decisions
The choices made today in terms of OT architecture will commit manufacturers for years to come.
Anticipating AVEVA developments, understanding the impact of CRA and integrating cybersecurity from the design stage onwards is becoming a real competitive advantage.
ASKx DeepDives play precisely this role: transforming today’s weak signals into informed decisions for tomorrow.
The structure of tomorrow’s industrial architectures is decided well before they go into production.
This is precisely the challenge of ASKx DeepDives AVEVA: comparing publisher roadmaps with the realities of the industrial field.
At the latest 2025 edition in Best, our team conducted an in-depth analysis of developments in AVEVA solutions, and one topic emerged as central.
Industrial cybersecurity is now inseparable from OT architecture choices.
