implementing-iec-62443-security-zonesDesigns security zones and conduits for industrial control systems (IACS) per IEC 62443-3-2 — risk-based zone partitioning, Security Level target (SL-T) assignment, conduit controls, and firewall…
Implementing Iec 62443 Security Zones is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Designs security zones and conduits for industrial control systems (IACS) per IEC 62443-3-2 — risk-based zone partitioning, Security Level target (SL-T) assignment, conduit controls, and firewall microsegmentation validated against the Purdue Reference Model. Use when designing OT network zones for a new facility, retrofitting zones into a flat OT network, or upgrading VLAN-only segmentation for IEC 62443-3-2 compliance.
Its SKILL.md is about 5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md` and `scripts/agent.py`).
It sits in Security. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Implementing Iec 62443 Security Zones loads about 5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 733 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

.claude/skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 3 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Do not use for IT-only network segmentation (see implementing-network-microsegmentation), for cloud-native workload segmentation (see securing-kubernetes-on-cloud), or for physical security zone design without a cyber component.
Partition the IACS into zones based on functional requirements, security requirements, criticality, and consequence of compromise. Each zone contains assets with common security requirements.

|---|---|
| Security Zone | A grouping of logical or physical assets that share common security requirements, as defined by IEC 62443-3-2 |
| Conduit | A logical grouping of communication channels connecting two or more zones, subject to common security policies |
| Security Level Target (SL-T) | The desired security level for a zone, ranging from SL 1 (casual violation) to SL 4 (state-sponsored attack) |
| Data Diode | Hardware-enforced unidirectional network gateway that physically prevents data from flowing in the reverse direction |
| Microsegmentation | Granular network segmentation at the device level, managing communication device-by-device based on roles and functions |
| Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) | Firewall capability to inspect industrial protocol payloads (Modbus function codes, OPC UA service calls) beyond Layer 4 |
| Defense in Depth | Layered security approach where multiple security controls protect assets at different levels of the architecture |
Context: A manufacturing plant operates all OT devices on a single VLAN (10.10.0.0/16) with no segmentation between PLCs, HMIs, historians, and the corporate network. An IEC 62443 gap assessment identified this as a critical finding requiring zone implementation.
Approach:
Pitfalls: Implementing zone firewalls without a complete traffic baseline will break unknown but legitimate communication paths. Scheduling zone cutover during production instead of maintenance windows risks process disruptions. Placing SIS controllers in the same zone as BPCS violates IEC 62443 safety system isolation requirements.

Designs security zones and conduits for industrial control systems (IACS) per IEC 62443-3-2 — risk-based zone partitioning, Security Level target (SL-T) assignment, conduit controls, and firewall…. Implementing Iec 62443 Security Zones is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Designs security zones and conduits for industrial control systems (IACS) per IEC 62443-3-2 — risk-based zone partitioning, Security Level target (SL-T) assignment, conduit controls, and firewall microsegmentation validated against the Purdue Reference Model.
Implementing Iec 62443 Security Zones fits situations like: designing OT network zones for a new facility; retrofitting zones into a flat OT network; upgrading VLAN-only segmentation for IEC 62443-3-2 compliance.
Run `npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill implementing-iec-62443-security-zones -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones in mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills) into .claude/skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill implementing-iec-62443-security-zones -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones in mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills) into .agents/skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill implementing-iec-62443-security-zones -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones, .gemini/skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones, .github/skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones and .opencode/skills/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Implementing Iec 62443 Security Zones needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Implementing Iec 62443 Security Zones is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 20k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 443 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Implementing Iec 62443 Security Zones: Deepsec Documentation Guide (vercel-labs/deepsec, 8.1k stars), Skill Scanner (getsentry/skills, 1k stars), Serenity Aleabitoreddit (yan-labs/serenity-aleabitoreddit, 481 stars) and Security Alert Triage (elastic/agent-skills, 592 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
