1. A computer-implemented method for secure remote aggregation, management, and visualization of data from remote site locations, the method being executed by one or more computers at a backend system and comprising:
receiving, from a computing device, a request to receive field data of one or more industrial sites, wherein the one or more industrial sites are each serviced by a respective play network capable of communicating sensor data from respective industrial sites to the backend system;
determining one or more authorized play networks to which at least one of the computing device or an operator associated with the computing device is authorized to access;
determining a set of sensors, each sensor in the set of sensors being able to communicate with at least one of the authorized play networks, and each sensor in the set of sensors being responsive to a respective site activity at a respective industrial site in the one or more industrial sites;
receiving sensor data from the set of sensors and through respective authorized play networks;
processing the sensor data to provide visualization data as at least part of the requested field data; and
transmitting the visualization data for display on the computing device.
