Video Marks a moment filled with both gratitude and sadness. After almost a decade of incredible support, I've made the tough decision to bid farewell.
It's been an amazing journey, one filled with growth, learning, and unforgettable connections. Each of you has played a significant role in shaping this journey, and for that, I'm deeply thankful.
As I look back on the memories we've shared, my heart is full. From the inspiring conversations to the invaluable connections, you've made this journey truly special.
I want to share with you my final video on YouTube, a reflection of this journey we've been on together. In it, I've poured my heart and soul, hoping to capture the essence of what we've shared.
I also want to let you know that I've created a complete playlist of PLC, DCS, and SCADA content for those who may not have been able to afford it otherwise. It's my small way of giving back to this incredible community.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your unwavering support and friendship. While it's time to say goodbye for now, I'm excited to see what the future holds.
With heartfelt gratitude,

The Purdue model, which is part of the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture (PERA), was created to help organize and secure the way data moves in computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), where machines handle all the processes in a factory. It sets a standard for building a network in a way that keeps it safe and organized, especially for operational technology (OT) security.
Here's a breakdown of the different levels in simpler terms:
Level 0: Physical Process Zone
This is where the actual machines and sensors for things like assembly and lubrication are.
Sensors often send information directly to cloud-based software using cellular networks.
Level 1: Intelligent Devices Zone
This zone has devices that control the machines in Level 0.
Devices like programmable logic controllers (PLCs) monitor and adjust processes automatically.
Remote terminal units (RTUs) connect the machines to higher-level systems.
Level 2: Control Systems Zone
This zone supervises and controls the physical processes.
Software like supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) oversees and controls processes, either locally or from a distance.
Distributed control systems (DCS) do similar things but are usually used locally.
Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) connect to control systems for basic controls and monitoring.
Level 3: Manufacturing Operations Systems Zone
Customized devices manage production workflows on the factory floor.
Systems like manufacturing operations management (MOM) and manufacturing ex*****on systems (MES) help optimize production.
Level 3.5: Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
This zone focuses on security, preventing cyber threats from moving between IT and OT systems.
It's like a security barrier with firewalls and proxies.
Level 4/5: Enterprise Zone
These are typical IT networks where main business functions, like planning and managing production, happen.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems control things like production schedules, shipping, and inventory.
Disruptions in the Enterprise Zone can lead to longer downtime, economic damage, or loss of revenue because it's where critical business operations are handled. The Purdue model helps make sure everything is organized and secure.
