Industrial DMZ Infrastructure

Why Industrial DMZ Infrastructure?

Industrial DMZ Infrastructure offers a ready-to-run concept for IT/OT network segmentation with integrated security features. We optimize this solution for use in production to deliver high availability and robust security with comprehensive lifecycle support.

Powerful networks drive digitalization but can also increase cyberattack risks, making security complex. Our Industrial DMZ Infrastructure helps you focus on your core business by preventing unauthorized access to your OT systems using a demilitarized zone with front and back firewalls.

Implement IT/OT network segmentation based on IEC 62443 for structured security. Our Defense in Depth approach provides deeply layered protection, enhancing network integrity. A hyper-convergent IT infrastructure supports high-performance computing, process data archiving, backup and disaster recovery.

Key benefits

Segment IT/OT networks

Implement robust network segmentation using the IEC 62443 'Zones & Conduits' model, a key standard for automation security. Isolate critical systems, reduce attack surface and improve operational resilience.

Integrate layered security

Implement a deeply layered defense with network security and system integrity measures to block attacker intrusion and damage. Benefit from pre-integrated security for comprehensive protection from the start.

Leverage hyper-convergent IT infrastructure

Deploy hyper-convergent IT infrastructure on the Industrial Automation DataCenter platform for high-performance computing. It includes data archiving, robust backup, DR and UPS.

Featured capabilities

Front and back firewalls

Shield OT systems from external access with a DMZ and firewalls, aligning with IEC 62443. Redundant next-gen firewalls analyze application data for remote access and file exchange via VMs on a high-performance host.

Defense in Depth

Our IEC 62443-based Defense in Depth protects against cyber-attacks for plant, network and system integrity. Our Industrial DMZ Infrastructure integrates network and system security on the proven Industrial Automation DataCenter.

AI-powered cybersecurity solutions

Siemens is partnering with NVIDIA to counter real-time cyber-attacks. We are creating a unified architecture, empowering AI for threat detection, network segmentation, secure IT-OT exchange and integrated backup and restore.
