01
Define the operating scope
Include processing systems, plant applications, engineering workstations, IACS security zones in a representative operating scope.
Mining
Processing plant segmentation · Briefing
Define the operating requirements for processing plant segmentation.
Apply identity-bound policy across processing-plant security zones and approved conduits.
Primary capability
Zero Trust
Operational outcome
Define the operating constraint, systems, and decision.
Contain operational risk while preserving the exact communications production systems require.
02
Trace the protected path
validated endpoint → authorized Endlet admission → least-privilege service policy → enforcement across an approved plant conduit
03
Review the decision
Determine whether plant roles and workloads can access approved services without broad network-level trust.
Outcome readiness
Define the systems and constraints for processing plant segmentation.
Give network, security, and operational teams one service path to review and one decision to make.
Include processing systems in the selected scope.
Include plant applications in the selected scope.
Include engineering workstations in the selected scope.
Include IACS security zones in the selected scope.
Include identity and policy services in the selected scope.
Inputs
processing systems, plant applications, engineering workstations, IACS security zones, identity and policy services
Path
validated endpoint → authorized Endlet admission → least-privilege service policy → enforcement across an approved plant conduit
Evidence
identity state, policy decisions, allowed and denied flows, session evidence, and revocation behavior
