Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a security assessment of a gas-pipeline compressor station you discover that Level 2 HMI workstations are cabled directly to the enterprise LAN, with no intervening security device. According to the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture and widely accepted guidance such as NIST SP 800-82 and ISA/IEC 62443, which control should be implemented first to bring the design back in line with best practice?

  • Replace all Modbus/TCP traffic on Level 0 with Ethernet/IP to eliminate clear-text protocols.

  • Introduce an industrial DMZ (Level 3.5) protected by stateful firewalls between the enterprise LAN and the OT network.

  • Move the HMI servers to Level 4 so they can share resources with business applications.

  • Enable secure SNMPv3 monitoring on every Level 1 PLC to improve device visibility.
