# Implementing Purdue Model Network Segmentation
## When to Use
- When designing or retrofitting network architecture for an ICS/SCADA environment
- When implementing IEC 62443 zone and conduit requirements in a brownfield plant
- When creating the IT/OT DMZ (Level 3.5) to control data flow between enterprise and control networks
- When remediating audit findings about flat OT networks or direct IT-to-OT connectivity
- When segmenting a converged IT/OT network after an acquisition or merger
**Do not use** for micro-segmentation within a single Purdue level (see implementing-zone-conduit-model-for-ics), for cloud-native environments without traditional ICS networks, or for network segmentation in purely IT environments.
