Network Security and Segmentation

Network security practices within Converged Plantwide Ethernet define the usage of zones and conduits to segment components within an industrial automation control system. When using FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI it is suggested to follow the CPwE Design Implementation guide (Converged Plantwide Ethernet Design) to isolate PowerFlex Drives into various zones. Furthermore, augmenting these zones and conduits with enhanced physical security is also a best practice as defined by Physical Infrastructure within CPwE architecture (Physical Infrastructure within CPwE Architecture).
