Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A device for managing access to data associated with assets in an automation environment, wherein the data comprises one of restricted data and unrestricted data, wherein the restricted data includes sensitive and unprotected data, and wherein the automation environment is accessible via one or more computing platforms comprising a plurality of computing resources that are classifiable into a trusted computing platform and a non-trusted computing platform, the device comprising:
an operating system; and
a trusted processing module comprising computer-readable instructions executable by the operating system to manage access to the data associated with the assets in the automation environment, the computer-readable instructions comprising:
representing applications as analytics operations based on one of an input data required for the applications, a predicted output data, a transformation function between the input data, and the output data;
classifying the analytics operations performable on the data into a first operation set based on a requirement of restricted data for execution of the analytics operations, the first operation set being executable on the trusted computing platform, wherein the analytics operations are associated with one or more applications executable on at least one of the one or more computing platforms; and
enabling access to at least one of the unrestricted data and a first unrestricted output of the first operation set from the trusted computing platform by a communication operation,

wherein classifying the analytics operations includes determining restricted data in relation to the analytics operations based on one or more constraints associated with the data, the computing resources, or the data and the computing resources, and
wherein the one or more constraints comprise data size, velocity of the data, time of data generation, location of data generation, assets, or any combination thereof.
