The problem
What makes it hard
Process data has to reach operations, planning and reporting. Without a one-way path, every route out is also a route in to the control system.
Availability outranks confidentiality here. A control system must not stop because a security product is inconvenient — which makes the failure-mode analysis more important in this environment than anywhere else.

Environments with the same problem
The technology is the same; the buying process usually is not.
- Patch distribution into a closed networkThe direction runs towards the protected side, which inverts every assumption the other flows rest on.
- Medical technologyGalvanic isolation is a double argument here: security, and fiber neither picking up nor radiating interference near diagnostic equipment.
- Command post in a vehicle or containerMaintenance during operation does not exist. Spare parts strategy and lifecycle commitment are part of the architecture.
- Field workstationThere is no room, no wall and no property owner — the zone has to be carried along.
