TEKEPC

Integrate the active network securely around the application.

TEKEPC connects industrial, operational and enterprise systems through coordinated network architecture, segmentation, secure access, monitoring and controlled brownfield migration.

Integrate

Connect systems and network layers

Protect

Separate and control access

Observe

Monitor performance and events

Industrial operational network integration with managed switches, control systems, secure connectivity and network monitoring

The active network must support operations—not complicate them.

Network integration should connect the required systems while preserving operational availability, controlled access, maintainability and clear responsibility between IT and OT.

Connectivity

Which controllers, servers, field assets, applications and users must communicate?

Segmentation

Which systems must be separated by function, risk, ownership or operational requirement?

Availability

Which network paths, devices and services require redundancy or rapid recovery?

Visibility

How will operators identify faults, performance issues and unauthorized activity?

A layered operational network architecture

TEKEPC organizes connectivity according to system function, operational dependency and access requirements rather than extending one unrestricted network across the facility.

01

Field & Control Layer

Connect controllers, remote I/O, field devices, gateways and distributed operational assets.

PLCs and RTUs
Industrial protocols
Field switches and gateways
Remote operational assets
02

Operational Network

Provide controlled communications between control systems, servers, workstations and operational applications.

Managed industrial switching
VLAN and subnet architecture
Redundant uplinks
Industrial wireless connectivity
03

Security Boundary

Control communication between operational, enterprise, remote-access and third-party environments.

Industrial firewalls
Security zones and conduits
Industrial DMZ coordination
Access-control policies
04

Visibility & Support

Create the information needed to identify faults, performance degradation and access events.

Device and link monitoring
Traffic and event visibility
Alarm integration
Configuration and asset records

Cybersecurity integrated into network engineering

Cybersecurity is treated as an architectural requirement. TEKEPC coordinates practical controls with system availability, maintainability, vendor support and the owner’s operating model.

Reduce exposure

Remove unnecessary communication paths, unmanaged connections and uncontrolled access between systems.

Separate functions

Organize network zones by application, system ownership, operational impact and risk.

Control access

Apply authenticated, limited and traceable access for staff, contractors, vendors and support personnel.

Improve visibility

Monitor device status, communications, alarms and events to support faster operational response.

Where required, network zoning, conduits, access controls and system-hardening requirements can be developed in alignment with the owner’s cybersecurity program and recognized industrial cybersecurity principles, including IEC 62443-oriented architecture.

Brownfield integration without unnecessary disruption

Existing operational networks often contain undocumented devices, mixed generations of equipment, unmanaged switches and unclear dependencies. Migration must preserve operations while creating a controlled future-state architecture.

01

Discover

Identify devices, links, addresses, protocols, applications, dependencies and existing security boundaries.

02

Baseline

Document topology, configurations, network segments, performance conditions and operational constraints.

03

Engineer

Develop the future architecture, migration sequence, temporary connections, testing plan and rollback strategy.

04

Migrate

Implement changes in controlled phases, validate communication and update the final network documentation.

Typical project deliverables

Deliverables are adapted to the project stage and may support assessment, design, procurement, implementation or operational handover.
