securing-remote-access-to-ot-environment
This skill covers implementing secure remote access to OT/ICS environments for operators, engineers, and vendors while preventing unauthorized access that could compromise industrial operations. It addresses jump server architecture, multi-factor authentication, session recording, privileged access management, vendor remote access controls, and compliance with IEC 62443 and NERC CIP-005 remote access requirements.

# Securing Remote Access to OT Environment
## When to Use
- When implementing or upgrading remote access architecture for OT environments
- When onboarding vendors who require remote access to OT systems for support and maintenance
- When implementing CIP-005-7 R2 requirements for remote access management including MFA
- When replacing legacy direct VPN access to OT networks with a secure jump server architecture
- When responding to an incident involving unauthorized remote access to industrial control systems
**Do not use** for securing IT-only remote access without OT components, for configuring VPN for corporate workers (see general VPN guides), or for physical access control to OT facilities.
