Security is one of the greatest challenges
facing the industrial sector
in the last ten years.
The frequency of serious and harmful cyber attacks on business operations is increasing, forcing a radical change of philosophy for many companies. As a result, modern companies have completed – or are currently undergoing – a major transition from a hierarchically segregated to a segmented infrastructure, with new boundaries and perimeters being enforced and software upgrades and obsolescence management being prioritised. This is in line with the paradigm that we increasingly refer to simply as "secured OTN", which refers to the IT security component that must be introduced into ICS environments to achieve increasingly secure process data management by design.
This whitepaper provides an overview of the key security factors in deploying cross-zone data transfer solutions between ICS and OT systems. The whitepaper primarily addresses:
- standard-proof and inherently (more) secure data-transfer across diverse environments
- seamless cross-site data-transfer
- hard-secured cross-zone data flows
- implementation of a gravity-well data router in the DMZ
