Securing Remote Access To Ot Environment

# OT Remote Access Architecture
# Key principle: NO direct connection from external networks to OT systems

architecture:
  external_access_point:
    location: "Internet-facing firewall"
    service: "VPN gateway (IKEv2/IPsec or SSL VPN)"
    authentication: "Certificate + MFA (CIP-005-7 R2.4)"
    controls:
      - "Source IP allowlisting for vendor access"
      - "Time-based access windows"
      - "Bandwidth rate limiting"

  dmz_intermediate_system:
    location: "Level 3.5 DMZ"
    platform: "CyberArk Privileged Access Security or hardened jump server"
    function: "Session broker - terminates external connection, initiates new internal connection"
    controls:
      - "All sessions terminate at jump server (no pass-through)"
      - "Session recording with keystroke logging"
      - "Clipboard and file transfer restrictions"
      - "Session timeout after 30 minutes inactivity"
      - "Concurrent session limits per user"

  ot_internal_access:
    location: "Level 3 / Level 2 OT network"
    method: "Jump server initiates RDP/SSH/VNC to OT systems"
    controls:
      - "Firewall allows only jump server IP to reach OT"
      - "Protocol restricted (RDP 3389, SSH 22, VNC 5900)"
      - "Destination-specific per user role"

  vendor_access:
    description: "Third-party vendor remote access"
    additional_controls:
      - "Vendor account disabled by default; enabled on request"
      - "Time-limited access windows (enable/disable per session)"
      - "OT operator must co-attend vendor sessions"
      - "Real-time session monitoring by OT security"
      - "No persistent credentials - one-time access tokens"

# Network flow:
# User -> VPN -> Firewall -> DMZ Jump Server -> Internal FW -> OT System
# (Two separate authenticated connections; no direct routing)
