01
Select the operational scope
One industrial application, two user or workload roles, one approved flow, and one denied lateral path.
Manufacturing
Connected factory segmentation · Evaluation
Evaluate connected factory segmentation against agreed evidence.
One industrial application, two user or workload roles, one approved flow, and one denied lateral path.
Primary capability
Zero Trust
Evaluation plan
Test a representative scope against agreed acceptance criteria.
Limit lateral movement while preserving required production and support workflows.
02
Verify the technical path
Have representatives from OT security, plant operations, network security, application owners review the architecture path and policy boundaries.
03
Review the decision evidence
Determine whether each approved role and workload receives only the service access permitted through the defined zone conduits.
Acceptance criteria
Define success with observable evidence and a decision.
Use representative systems, named owners, and a controlled operational scenario.
01
The evaluation includes one industrial application, two user or workload roles, one approved conduit, and one denied lateral path.
02
OT-security, plant-operations, network-security, and application owners confirm the identities, service policy, and zone boundaries.
03
The team records identity evidence, admission decisions, allowed and denied flows, service reachability, session state, and revocation.
04
The results show whether each role and workload receives only the service access permitted through the defined conduit.
Operational outcome
Limit lateral movement while preserving required production and support workflows.
Evaluation scope
One industrial application, two user or workload roles, one approved flow, and one denied lateral path.
Decision
Determine whether each approved role and workload receives only the service access permitted through the defined zone conduits.
