ei³ Security Architecture for Industrial Operations

ei³ Security Architecture for Industrial Operations

A technical overview of the security architecture protecting connected industrial operations

Industrial connectivity creates measurable value — and real exposure. Remote access, machine data exchange, and distributed infrastructure require controls designed specifically for industrial environments, not adapted enterprise IT solutions.

ei³’s CPS Protection Platform was built with security embedded at every layer: edge devices, managed networks, private cloud infrastructure, and IIoT applications. This overview details how those layers operate together to protect industrial assets while maintaining performance and operational flexibility.

What you'll find inside:

  • Four-layer security architecture of the ei³ platform

  • Zero-trust and defense-in-depth in practice

  • Two-tier network segmentation and micro-segmentation model

  • Alignment with standards: 
    ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and IEC 62443

Backed by experience, trusted worldwide:
ei³ secures more than 190,000 industrial assets across 6,500+ facilities worldwide, with 25 years of secure operational experience.

Purpose-Built CPS Protection

Designed specifically for machine connectivity, embedding security controls throughout the platform architecture rather than adding them as overlays.

Two-Tier Network Segmentation

Facility-level access and machine-level access are separated by design, limiting exposure and preventing unauthorized access across equipment and systems.

Zero-Trust, Continuously Enforced

Every user, device, and connection is authenticated and continuously verified. No implicit trust based on network location. No flat architecture.
