Phased micro-segmentation: protect a PLC cell

A segmented cell, with continuous detection of any flow that breaks the intent.

  1. 01

    Challenge

    Segmenting a production cell is overdue, but a wrong rule stops the line.

  2. 02

    What WireTrace sees

    The devices in the cell and the conversations into, out of and within it.

  3. 03

    What WireTrace understands

    An approved baseline of the cell's communication and the zone and conduit intent around it.

  4. 04

    What WireTrace decides

    Rules proposed from the baseline and tested against observed traffic before anything changes.

  5. 05

    Integration / action

    Rule proposals exported as text for the firewall team; violations forwarded to the SIEM.

  6. 06

    Outcome

    A segmented cell, with continuous detection of any flow that breaks the intent.
