OT security by architecture, not by policy.
Hardware-enforced safety boundaries, VLAN network segmentation, and safety PLC authority that no software update can override. AI augments human decisions — it never bypasses the safety system.
Security posture
Security layers
Defense in depth for industrial control systems.
Hardware Authority
Safety PLCs maintain ultimate authority over physical systems. No software command — AI or otherwise — can override a hardware safety interlock. The safety system is physically separate from the control system.
VLAN Segmentation
OT networks isolated from IT networks at the switch level. AI inference runs on dedicated compute within the OT VLAN. No internet-routable path to safety-critical controllers.
Human-in-the-Loop
AI generates recommendations. Humans confirm execution. For physical parameter changes — temperature setpoints, valve positions, motor speeds — human approval is required before any change is applied.
Audit Trail
Every command, recommendation, and execution is logged with timestamp, source, authorization, and outcome. Full audit trail for NERC CIP, MSHA, and internal safety investigations.
Safety you can verify, not just trust.
Hardware-enforced safety boundaries. VLAN-isolated OT networks. AI that recommends, never overrides. Security by architecture.
