In pharma or aerospace, data cannot leave the firewall. With SVC, the data never moves. The engineer's screen is simply a video stream. If the thin client is lost or stolen, there is zero sensitive data on the device. Siemens Virtual Client provides auditable logs of every file access.

The operator interacts with the Virtual Client through an HMI. By using WinCC Unified, operators can train on the virtual plant using the exact same screens and interfaces they will use on the factory floor. This creates a "Zero-Gap" training environment where operators can learn to handle emergencies and shutdowns without risking millions of dollars in equipment.

I recommend the Siemens Virtual Client to:

In the age of ransomware and state-sponsored cyberattacks, protecting the production network is paramount. With SVC, no sensitive engineering data resides on the endpoint. If a thin client is stolen or compromised, there is zero data leakage. Furthermore, USB ports can be centrally managed, preventing unauthorized code or malware uploads to PLCs.
