What is remote access?

In order to answer this question you need to define the requirements What problems are you trying to solve and identify who has the

problem?

Requirements generation makes the designer consider Users / User Personas Problem Statements (i.e. what problem are we trying to solve?) Use Cases

OEM, System Integrator

Engineering

Users / User Personas Problem Statements Use Cases

Use Case : Remote Access from Hotel Room

An OEM, SI Engineer is in a hotel and must

help the customer troubleshoot a PLC or HMI

program. The engineer uses the hotel

internet connection and connects security to

the machine at the customer site and is able

to view PLC or HMI code.

Help Maintenance Troubleshoot


Remote Access Requirements (1)

Required to view a machine’s ControlLogix processor from a hotel room to help troubleshoot the system

Factory

Processing Filling Material Handling


Remote Access Requirements (2)

Required to transfer a file containing ControlLogix code from a laptop to a manufacturing workstation.

Remote Access Requirements (3) View manufacturing data from FactoryTalk VantagePoint to decision

makers who are located in the enterprise (office) zone

FactoryTalk VantagePoint Server


Remote Access Challenges

Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS) applications are often managed by plant personnel, while enterprise-level remote access solutions such as VPNs are the responsibility of the IT organization.

Remote access can expose critical IACS applications to viruses, malware and other risks that may be present when using remote or partner computers, potentially impacting manufacturing

Limiting the accessibility to only functions that are appropriate for remote users

High Level Architecture Review

Remote access involves cooperation between: Enterprise Zone

Information Technologies (IT) and infrastructure of the facility

Automation Demilitarized Zone (Automation DMZ) To design it requires

knowledge of data that must move from the plant to enterprise systems

Manufacturing Zone Cell and Area devices Industrial Protocols


Enterprise Zone Enterprise Zone

“Levels” 4 & 5 owned by Information Technologies (IT)

Traditionally some VLAN’s in place

Campus to Campus communications

IT knowledgeable with routing and firewalls

IT will provide VPN Services for remote access You need to work with the IT personnel to get access to the DMZ


Automation DMZ Automation DMZ

Shared ownership by IT and Manufacturing professionals

Designed to replicate services and data

Remote Access Services (Terminal Services) located here

“Typically” IT owns firewalls IT configures the switches on

behalf of Manufacturing professionals

Manufacturing professionals own DMZ terminal servers, application servers, patch management servers


Manufacturing Zone Divide plant into functional areas

for secured access ISA-SP99 “Zones and

Conduit” model

OEM’s / System Integrator / Engineering Participation Required IP Address VLAN ID’s Access layer to Distribution

layer cooperation

System design requires full cooperation of all asset owners

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

Sometimes referred to a perimeter network that exposes an organizations external services to an untrusted network. The purpose of the DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to the trusted network

Remote Desktop Technologies

Two options of Remote Desktop Technologies being discussed today Option 1 – Host a Remote Desktop Session from the Cisco Firewall Option 2 – Host a Remote Desktop Session from a Microsoft

Windows Server 2008 R2 Computer

Allows user to remotely view and control another computer. The user will see the remote computer’s screen while sending keystrokes and mouse movements to the remote computer .

Remote Desktop Protocol Via Cisco Firewall

• Remote Desktop Gateway functionality hosted from the Cisco ASA Firewall

• Same user experience as Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway

• Configure Firewall to host the RDP session

• Come to AF Network & Security Booth to see how well this solution works.


• Connect to the outside of the Cisco firewall via a web browser (SSL) session by opening a web browser.

• Continue to inside assets via Remote Desktop Protocol



Remote Desktop Gateway Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway), formerly

Terminal Services Gateway is a role service in the Remote Desktop Services server role included with Windows Server® 2008 R2. Enables authorized remote users to connect to

resources on an internal corporate or private network, from any Internet-connected device that can run the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client.

RD Gateway uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over HTTPS to establish a secure, encrypted connection between remote users and internal network resources


Remote Access via Remote Desktop Gateway (HTTPS)


Remote Desktop Session Host CALs Anyone who wants to connect to a Remote Desktop Session Host

(Terminal Server) must have a Client Access License (CAL)

Consult Microsoft to Validate your CAL questions

Secured File Transfer: Architecture


Secured Shell (SSH) • Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol for secure data communication,

remote shell services or command execution and other secure network services between two networked computers that it connects via a secure channel over an insecure network

• This demo is running OpenSSH server on Linux – You can use an SSH server on Windows as well


Secured File Transfer: Demo


Reverse Web Proxy Evolution

Web Server

Router

Web Server

Reverse Proxy

Pre 1996 Post 1996

• Website servers required protection from web users without depriving them of those services.

• In the summer of 1996, the Apache HTTP project wrote an add-on module in the Apache 1.1 web server

• Retrieves resources on behalf of a client from one or more servers. • Hide the existence and characteristics of the origin server(s).

Internet


Reverse Web Proxy

• During the early years of the Internet, website administrators recognized the need to prevent their servers from being accessible to web users without depriving them of those services. In the summer of 1996, the Apache HTTP project wrote an add-on module called mod_proxy in the Apache 1.1 web server that allowed it to act like a reverse proxy server.

• A reverse proxy is a type of proxy server that retrieves resources on behalf of a client from one or more servers. These resources are then returned to the client as though it originated from the reverse proxy itself.

• Reverse proxies can hide the existence and characteristics of the origin server(s).


Reverse Web Proxy: Architecture


Summary • Remote Access involves requirements generation

– Identifying users and support systems that require access from the enterprise to the manufacturing zone

– Identifying data flow, source and destination for firewall rule creation • Often times minimal remote access strategies involving visibility and file

transfer • DMZ’s for separation of enterprise and manufacturing zones

recommended • Security must be part of remote access design
