Network Segmentation in OT Environments

In industrial environments, cybersecurity has long been secondary to one priority: keeping production running. But as OT and IT become increasingly interconnected, segmentation is a fundamental requirement for protecting industrial operations.

This whitepaper explores how a well-designed segmentation strategy, based on models such as Purdue and Zones & Conduits (IEC 62443), can reduce the attack surface, prevent lateral movement, and improve resilience without disrupting uptime. It also provides practical guidance for implementing segmentation gradually, even in complex brownfield environments.

Why download this whitepaper?

  • Reduce downtime while strengthening security – Learn how segmentation helps contain incidents and keep critical production areas operational.
  • Apply proven OT architecture models – Understand the Purdue Model and the Zones & Conduits approach as practical tools for structuring industrial networks.
  • Get a step-by-step implementation roadmap – Discover the key technologies (industrial firewalls, IDS/IPS, VLANs, DMZs, jump servers) and how to introduce them safely over time.
