What it does

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.

When your agent uses it

  • 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

Example prompts

  • “Use the implementing-iec-62443-security-zones skill to design security zones and conduits for industrial control systems (IACS) per IEC 62443-3-2 —…”
  • “/implementing-iec-62443-security-zones”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Perform Zone Partitioning Based on Risk Assessment
  2. Configure Industrial Firewalls for Zone Boundaries
  3. Implement VLAN Segmentation at Switch Level
  4. Deploy Data Diode for Unidirectional Historian Replication
  5. Validate Zone Architecture

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

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.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

Implementing IEC 62443 Security Zones

When to Use

  • When designing a greenfield OT network architecture for a new industrial facility
  • When retrofitting security zones into an existing flat OT network after an assessment finding
  • When implementing network segmentation to comply with IEC 62443-3-2 certification requirements
  • When upgrading from basic VLAN segmentation to policy-enforced zone/conduit architecture
  • When an IT/OT convergence project requires defining security boundaries between enterprise and operational networks

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.

Prerequisites

  • Completed OT network security assessment with asset inventory and traffic flow analysis
  • Understanding of IEC 62443-3-2 zone/conduit design process and the Purdue Reference Model
  • Industrial firewalls capable of deep packet inspection for OT protocols (Palo Alto with OT Security, Fortinet OT, Cisco ISA-3000)
  • Network switches supporting VLANs, 802.1Q trunking, and port security
  • Approval from operations management for network architecture changes during maintenance windows

Workflow

Step 1: Perform Zone Partitioning Based on Risk Assessment

Partition the IACS into zones based on functional requirements, security requirements, criticality, and consequence of compromise. Each zone contains assets with common security requirements.

Step 2: Configure Industrial Firewalls for Zone Boundaries

Deploy and configure industrial-grade firewalls at each zone boundary with OT protocol-aware deep packet inspection.

bash
# Cisco ISA-3000 Industrial Firewall Configuration
# Conduit C1: BPCS (Zone 2) <-> Operations (Zone 3)

# Define zone interfaces
interface GigabitEthernet1/1
  nameif zone-bpcs
  security-level 90
  ip address 10.20.1.1 255.255.0.0

interface GigabitEthernet1/2
  nameif zone-ops
  security-level 70
  ip address 10.30.1.1 255.255.0.0

# OPC UA from BPCS to Operations (read-only data flow)
access-list BPCS-to-OPS extended permit tcp 10.20.0.0 255.255.0.0 host 10.30.1.50 eq 4840
# Modbus read from Operations historian to PLCs (FC 3,4 only)
access-list OPS-to-BPCS extended permit tcp host 10.30.1.50 10.20.0.0 255.255.0.0 eq 502

# Deny all other traffic between zones

  parameters
    # Allow read operations only from Operations zone
    match func-code read-coils
    match func-code read-discrete-inputs
    match func-code read-holding-registers
    match func-code read-input-registers
    # Block all write function codes
    match func-code force-single-coil  action drop log
    match func-code preset-single-register  action drop log
    match func-code force-multiple-coils  action drop log
    match func-code preset-multiple-registers  action drop log

# Apply to service policy
policy-map global_policy
  class inspection_default
    inspect modbus MODBUS-INSPECT

# Logging to OT SIEM
logging host zone-ops 10.30.1.60
logging trap informational
logging enable
Step 3: Implement VLAN Segmentation at Switch Level

Configure network switches to enforce zone boundaries at Layer 2, preventing broadcast domain overlap between Purdue levels.

bash
# Cisco Industrial Ethernet Switch Configuration
# Zone-based VLAN assignment

# VLAN definitions aligned with zones
vlan 10
  name Z1-SIS-Safety
vlan 20
  name Z2-BPCS-Control
vlan 30
  name Z3-OPS-Operations
vlan 35
  name Z4-DMZ
vlan 40
  name Z5-Enterprise

# PLC ports - Zone 2 BPCS
interface range GigabitEthernet1/0/1-12
  description PLC connections - Zone 2
  switchport mode access
  switchport access vlan 20
  switchport port-security
  switchport port-security maximum 1
  switchport port-security mac-address sticky
  switchport port-security violation shutdown
  spanning-tree portfast
  spanning-tree bpduguard enable
  no cdp enable
  no lldp transmit

# HMI ports - Zone 2 BPCS
interface range GigabitEthernet1/0/13-18
  description HMI connections - Zone 2
  switchport mode access
  switchport access vlan 20
  switchport port-security
  switchport port-security maximum 1
  switchport port-security mac-address sticky
  switchport port-security violation restrict
  spanning-tree portfast

# Trunk to industrial firewall
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/24
  description Trunk to ISA-3000 Firewall
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 20,30,35
  switchport trunk native vlan 999

# Disable unused ports
interface range GigabitEthernet1/0/19-23
  shutdown
  switchport access vlan 999
Step 4: Deploy Data Diode for Unidirectional Historian Replication

Install a hardware-enforced data diode between the operations zone and DMZ to ensure unidirectional data flow from OT to IT. Data diodes physically prevent any data from flowing back into the OT network.

  • Tofino Xenon: Industrial security appliance providing deep packet inspection for Modbus, OPC, and EtherNet/IP protocols

Common Scenarios

Scenario: Migrating Flat OT Network to Zone 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:

  1. Capture complete traffic baseline for 4 weeks using passive monitoring to identify all legitimate communication flows
  2. Classify all assets into Purdue levels and group into logical zones based on function and security requirements
  3. Design VLAN architecture with one VLAN per zone and inter-zone firewall rules based on observed legitimate traffic
  4. Deploy industrial firewalls at zone boundaries with initial "monitor only" mode (log but do not block)
  5. Analyze firewall logs for 2 weeks to identify any legitimate traffic that would be blocked
  6. Switch firewalls to enforcement mode during a scheduled maintenance window
  7. Validate that all process control communications function correctly post-segmentation
  8. Implement data diode between operations and DMZ for historian replication

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.
