To segment or not to segment, that is the question
Network segmentation (Zones and Conduits) is the most essential measure for implementing the defense-in-depth strategy of IEC 62443. Bert van der Linden will guide you through segmenting a PROFINET network based on the PROFINET Security Guideline, IEC 62443, and best practices. Network segmentation, for example, involves deploying managed switches, routers, firewalls, or gateways, and thus potentially increases costs. However, a well-chosen network segmentation according to IEC 62443 creates new opportunities and can also save you money. Will you be segmenting too?
