    The Purdue Model for Industrial Control System (ICS) Security
    Level 0
    select (1)

    Level 0 is the physical devices that form the foundation of the equipment, such as motors, pumps, sensors, and valves.

    Level 1
    select (1)

    Level 1 is the systems that supervise and direct the devices at Level 0, including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and Intelligent Electronic devices (IEDs).

    Level 2
    select (1)

    Level 2 involves devices that manage the overall processes of the system, such as human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and SCADA software, which enable human operators to monitor and control the system. These are often laptops/ workstations or touch pendants.

    Level 3
    select (1)

    Level 3 facilitates the management of production workflows and includes batch management, manufacturing operations management (MOM), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and data historians. The Industrial Demilitarized Zone (IDMZ) serves as a buffer between the IT and OT networks. The IDMZ helps prevent infections within the IT environment from spreading to OT systems and vice versa.

    Level 4
    select (1)

    Level 4 encompasses systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, databases, email servers, and other logistics-related systems that manage manufacturing operations and provide communication and data storage.

    Level 5
    select (1)

    Finally, Level 5 is the enterprise network, which is not an ICS environment but collects data from ICS systems for business decisions.

    Challenges Driving Digital Transformation

    Securing the supply chain, growing regulations, and legacy equipment are among the many challenges manufacturers face. These factors are driving the digital transformation towards advanced manufacturing networks. 

     

    The Promise of Industry 4.0

    The promise of Industry 4.0—asset discovery, continuous monitoring, real-time data sharing and analytics, connecting OT and IT—offers operational resiliency, efficiency, and security. These are crucial to supporting national security missions with confidence.

    The Blurring of OT and IT Boundaries

    As the boundaries between OT enclaves and IT networks blur, identity becomes the only real perimeter for the industrial manufacturing network. Embracing digitization and automation is essential to maintaining a competitive advantage.

    Expanding Attack Surfaces

    Digitization inevitably expands the attack surface. In manufacturing pipelines, cybersecurity risks can become kinetic, potentially:

    • Halting a manufacturing assembly line
    • Stealing intellectual property and mission intelligence
    • Altering configurations to affect the supply chain
    • Introducing weaknesses into final products

    A New Cyber Risk Strategy

    To overcome risk and ensure availability, integrity, safety, and confidence in manufacturing, a new approach is needed. Bringing Corsha’s Identity Platform into your industrial networks allows you to:

    • Easily monitor, control, and regulate access to your OT assets
    • Securely share data in real-time across OT and IT systems
    • Create a Secure Access Point to OT equipment
    • Comply with mandates like ATOs, Zero Trust, and NIST’s 800-82 Guide to OT Security

    Discover and monitor all connections across your Industrial Network

    First things first, a comprehensive inventory of all assets, systems, and services, and the connections into them is the foundation of essential cybersecurity.

    Build Identity and Access Management Best Practices into your OT Network

    As perimeters blur between IT and OT, identity becomes the only reliable principle to protect access to your critical manufacturing resources, whether that is a PLC, an HMI or a historian. Digital transformation toward Industry 4.0 starts with a strong IAM strategy that allows you to expose access at all levels with confidence.
