01
Select the operational scope
One processing application, two identity roles, one approved workflow, and one denied cross-zone path.
Mining
Processing plant segmentation · Evaluation
Evaluate processing plant segmentation against agreed evidence.
One processing application, two identity roles, one approved workflow, and one denied cross-zone path.
Primary capability
Zero Trust
Evaluation plan
Test a representative scope against agreed acceptance criteria.
Contain operational risk while preserving the exact communications production systems require.
02
Verify the technical path
Have representatives from plant operations, OT security, network security, application owners review the architecture path and policy boundaries.
03
Review the decision evidence
Determine whether plant roles and workloads can access approved services without broad network-level trust.
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 processing-plant service relationship, two industrial automation and control system security zones, an approved conduit, and a denied lateral path.
02
Plant operations, process-control, network-security, and application owners confirm the identities, service policy, and zone boundaries.
03
The team records admission decisions, allowed and denied flows, service reachability, session state, and revocation.
04
The results show whether required processing workflows continue while unauthorized lateral access is denied.
Operational outcome
Contain operational risk while preserving the exact communications production systems require.
Evaluation scope
One processing application, two identity roles, one approved workflow, and one denied cross-zone path.
Decision
Determine whether plant roles and workloads can access approved services without broad network-level trust.
