Explain SCADA segmentation details

SCADA Network Segmentation Details Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems monitor and control industrial processes in critical infrastructure (e.g., power grids, water treatment, manufacturing, metals/mining). Segmentation isolates SCADA components to limit lateral movement during cyberattacks, prevent IT threats from reaching OT, and ensure availability/safety. It forms a core defense-in-depth strategy, aligned with frameworks like

Zero-trust OT(Operational Technologies) Architectures

Zero-Trust Architectures in Operational Technology (OT) Zero-Trust (ZT) is a cybersecurity paradigm that eliminates implicit trust in any user, device, or network segment. The core mantra is “never trust, always verify”. In traditional IT, perimeter defenses (e.g., firewalls) assume everything inside is safe. Zero-Trust assumes breach—treating internal and external traffic equally suspiciously—and requires continuous verification
