Guard Control
Guard Control brings industrial processes, systems and operators together in one secure and reliable control environment. Built for critical operations, it combines proven technology with more than four decades of automation and system integration expertise.
Built around operational reality. Industrial facilities combine different generations of equipment, technologies and vendors. Guard Control integrates with existing infrastructure through open standards and technology-agnostic engineering—creating a consistent operational environment that can evolve without replacing what already works.
Reliable when it matters most. Redundant architectures, clustering and distributed processing help maintain continuous operation without single points of failure. Built on AVEVA Plant SCADA, Guard Control provides a proven foundation for demanding industrial environments.
Designed for better decisions. High Performance HMI and Situational Awareness principles give operators a clear view of what matters. More than 150 native communication drivers connect PLCs, instrumentation, enterprise applications and Guard Cloud—bringing the operational picture together.
Secure by design
In operational technology, availability is as critical as confidentiality. Security therefore cannot be added afterwards—it must be part of the control system from the beginning.
Guard Control combines encrypted communication, role-based access and modern identity management with Single Sign-On, multi-factor authentication and secure browser-based access.
