Just about every industrial enterprise today needs secure access to production data—whether from field devices, PLCs, SCADA systems, or other data sources. Tunnel/mirroring can encapsulate this data and move it securely to an IT network. This provides remote access to process data while protecting the plant and its network.
The tunnel/mirror connection must be outbound, keeping all inbound firewall ports closed, ensuring zero attack surface. To fully isolate both the OT and IT networks, the tunnel should work seamlessly over a DMZ, allowing a robust, secure, continuous connection from OT through the DMZ to IT.
