Abstract: A system and method for providing connectivity to a closed, secure production network, and computer program products for executing the same and, more particularly, to a system and method for creating a virtual network to provide communication with remote tools. The system includes a server configured to create a virtual network for tools in a production facility and provide authentication and tool routing information to a client in order to gain access to the tools in the virtual network. The virtual network isolates each tool of the tools from each other.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for modeling a secure production network are provided. A method includes generating a test network for emulating production operations, capturing and analyzing data traffic occurring over the secure production network and a non-secure production network, and determining data flow requirements for isolating the secure production network and the non-secure production network from the test network. The data flow requirements are determined from results of data traffic capture and analysis. The method also includes generating business log from the data flow requirements and applying the business logic to a firewall associated with the test network. The business logic permits transmission of a subset of secure production data to the test network and prevents receipt of incoming transmission at the secure production network.

Abstract: A system and method for providing connectivity to a closed, secure production network, and computer program products for executing the same and, more particularly, to a system and method for securely communicating with remote tools. The system comprises a self-configuring server configured to create separate, isolated networks for a vendor specific toolset and query a client for connection information such that the self-configuring server can engage an identified vendor specific toolset on one of the separate isolated networks by mimicking the connection information of the client.
