Implementing Purdue Model Network Segmentation

When to Use

When designing or retrofitting network architecture for an ICS/SCADA environment
When implementing IEC 62443 zone and conduit requirements in a brownfield plant
When creating the IT/OT DMZ (Level 3.5) to control data flow between enterprise and control networks
When remediating audit findings about flat OT networks or direct IT-to-OT connectivity
When segmenting a converged IT/OT network after an acquisition or merger

Do not use for micro-segmentation within a single Purdue level (see implementing-zone-conduit-model-for-ics), for cloud-native environments without traditional ICS networks, or for network segmentation in purely IT environments.

Prerequisites

Complete OT asset inventory with Purdue level classification for each device
Network architecture diagram showing current topology, VLANs, and firewall placements
Industrial firewalls capable of deep packet inspection for OT protocols (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco)
Understanding of required data flows between Purdue levels (historian replication, remote access, patch distribution)
Change management approval from plant operations for network modifications

Workflow

Step 1: Map Current Architecture to Purdue Levels

Classify all network assets and data flows according to the Purdue Model hierarchy.

Term	Definition
Purdue Model (PERA)	Hierarchical reference architecture organizing industrial networks into levels 0-5 based on function and trust
Level 3.5 DMZ	Demilitarized zone between IT (Level 4) and OT (Level 3), where all cross-boundary data exchange occurs
Defense in Depth	Layered security approach requiring attackers to breach multiple boundaries to reach critical control systems
Data Diode	Hardware-enforced unidirectional communication device ensuring data flows only from OT to IT, never reverse
Zone	Logical grouping of assets sharing common security requirements as defined by IEC 62443
Conduit	Controlled communication path between zones with defined security policies
