IT/OT and industrial networks

Connected infrastructure. Clear access boundaries.

Office networks, production systems and physical infrastructure have different requirements. We connect them in a controlled way: access to information must not mean unrestricted access to the process.

Let’s talk

TAILORED TO YOUR SITE

What can the work cover?

  • Network segmentation, VLANs and inter-zone communication rules
  • VPNs, individual accounts and secure maintenance access
  • Monitoring of equipment, services and communications links
  • Configuration backups, centralised logging and IDS/IPS

BEFORE MAKING A DECISION

Questions we address first.

  • Who can access the controllers, and from where?
  • Could an IT failure or incident spread to the OT environment?
  • Where are the current configuration backups and recovery procedures?

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Agreed scope. A clear handover.

A network and zone map, agreed access permissions, monitoring configuration and change procedures. We assess the impact of security controls on latency and process availability before deployment.

ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATIONS

From a site problem to a defined scope.

These are illustrative scenarios, not accounts of completed DATPOL projects. They show a possible approach; any solution requires an assessment of the individual site.

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

Warehouse: networks, CCTV and access

Cameras, terminals and access control share infrastructure. A single component failure can affect several systems.

Possible scope: wired and Wi-Fi networks, access segmentation, CCTV, device power supplies and availability monitoring.

To agree: site zones, permissions, network coverage and image requirements.

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

Industrial site: controlled access to automation

Remote maintenance should allow authorised staff to work without exposing the whole plant network.

Possible scope: IT/OT segmentation, VPNs, individual permissions, event logging and configuration backups.

To agree: who needs access, to which devices, and for how long.
