What makes up an IDMZ design?
In this section, we will explore the parts that can be found in a typical IDMZ. We will look at the individual sections from a hardware, connectivity, and design-and-configuration perspective. We will hold our discussions around the following fundamental IDMZ design:
Let's take a closer look at the individual parts that make up an IDMZ, as depicted in Figure 3.4, in the following sections.
The Enterprise Zone
The presence of IDMZ assets in the Enterprise Zone is often very minimal, if there are any at all. Typically, endpoint clients such as web browsers, RDP clients, and the like are used to interact with the industrial environment.
Certain industrial applications or IDMZ broker services demand an enterprise presence of the system ICS environment. For example, data replication solutions such as SQL-to-SQL replication (or Pi-to-Pi for Pi Historian systems)...
