Implementing Conduit Security for OT Remote Access

When to Use

When replacing direct VPN connections from IT or vendors into OT control networks

When implementing IEC 62443-compliant conduit architecture for remote access paths

When deploying secure remote access for third-party vendor maintenance of ICS equipment

When building approval-based access workflows for privileged OT system access

When remediating audit findings about uncontrolled remote access to SCADA systems

Do not use for designing the overall Purdue Model segmentation (see implementing-purdue-model-network-segmentation), for deploying IT-only remote access solutions, or for configuring local console access to PLCs.

Prerequisites

IT/OT DMZ (Level 3.5) deployed with dual-firewall architecture

Jump server or privileged access management (PAM) platform (CyberArk, BeyondTrust)

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) infrastructure for OT remote access users

Session recording capability for compliance and forensic purposes

Approval workflow system (ServiceNow, ticketing) for access requests

Workflow
