A security layer in an industrial control and automation system includes a user database, a web server, a secure token server (STS), and an application server. The user database is configured to store identities of users with credentials to access controls of the security layer. The web server is configured to identify an operator using a client device. The STS is configured to authenticate the operator for the security layer. The application server is configured to negotiate access for the client device for a target application server in a target security layer.

Cross security layer secure communication

A system and method for performing management and diagnostic functions in a cloud computing system for advanced process control (APC). A cloud based APC management computer retrieves operating process data from an APC control computer and performs an iterative step test on the APC system. The iterative step test modifies at least one test parameter of the operating process data and identifies changes to a set of remaining parameters of the operating process data resulting from modification of the test parameter. The APC management computer determines at least one process variable from the iterative step test and generates at least one process model based on the process variable. The APC management computer transmits the process model to the APC control computer.

A method includes receiving activity data from a plurality of sensors associated with at least a portion of an industrial process system. The method also includes monitoring the activity data to identify a period of inactivity of all of the plurality of sensors. The method also includes responsive to identifying the period of inactivity, issuing an alarm.
