Industrial networks, defended
The control network and its links, with the layered defenses built around them.
I design the communications infrastructure and the control network of industrial facilities together with the defenses at every layer of the network. The approach combines operational reliability with cyber security, so the infrastructure meets high availability requirements and stands up to threats.
Communications design
- Control-network architecture, VLANs and segments
- Connectivity between controllers, stations, servers and remote sites
- High availability, redundancy and maintainability
Layered defenses
- Separation of the information network (IT) from the operations network (OT)
- Industrial firewalls, data diodes and network access control (NAC)
- Intrusion detection (IDS) and behavioural monitoring
- Component hardening and secure configuration management
