Build a clear view of the OT connectivity, network boundaries, dependencies and applications that needed to remain integrated through the transition.
Case study ยท Critical infrastructure
Transitioning critical OT infrastructure without losing operational integration
Industrial OT connectivity at a remote UK processing facility was transitioned through controlled testing, with the agreed application testing completed successfully.
The challenge
The client had to move industrial OT connectivity at a remote UK processing facility without losing the operational integration the site depends on.
The complexity
- A live industrial operation
- Connectivity supporting dependent operational systems and applications
- Network boundaries and communications
- Applications that had to be proven before the change was accepted
Our approach
Design
Define the cutover approach, readiness requirements and agreed test set needed to validate the new operating state.
Deliver
Coordinate the operational cutover, technical dependencies and controlled application and connectivity testing.
Enable
Establish the agreed connectivity in the new operating environment and validate the required integrations before acceptance.
The result
- 100% of agreed OT connectivity tests passed
- 35 of 35 application tests completed
- 0 agreed application tests outstanding
The agreed test set was completed and closed, with the required operational integrations maintained through the cutover.
