3-Level OT / IT Separation

Both OptiZeus SCADA and MES support a secure 3-level network architecture with proper separation between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) networks. An MQTT broker and OPC-UA gateway in the DMZ ensure no direct cross-network connections.

Two Protocols, Complete Coverage

MQTT and OPC-UA work together through the DMZ. Nothing in IT can directly reach OT — both protocols pass through the security boundary.

MQTT
  • Real-time streaming data
  • OT → IT (publish/subscribe)
  • 1000s of values/second
  • Port 1883 / 8883 (TLS)
OPC-UA
  • Structured reads & writes
  • IT ↔ OT (bidirectional)
  • Browse PLC tag trees
  • Port 4840 (certificate auth)

Security by Design

  • OT Network Isolation — SCADA runs on a dedicated OT network with PLCs, no internet access
  • DMZ Layer — MQTT broker and OPC-UA gateway in a protected DMZ, firewalled on both sides
  • Authenticated Channels — Certificate-based or token-based auth on all OPC-UA and MQTT connections
  • Live OEE Flow — Equipment metrics stream from SCADA through DMZ to MES without exposing the OT network
  • PLC Monitoring — Tag values, alarms, and counters flow through the secure DMZ channel
