The paper recommends that the zero trust model should not be introduced for essential functions as defined in ISA\/IEC 62443. It emphasizes the importance of never overriding or interrupting essential critical functions in zero trust architecture implementations, especially safety functions associated with fault-tolerant systems design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">The implementation of zero trust may involve additional upfront and maintenance costs as it elevates security dimensions and magnitude, but it also offers significant benefits in terms of understanding and organizing a security strategy. If certain zero trust principles are not feasible to achieve within an OT network, hybrid approaches can incorporate them where appropriate to enhance detection and response capabilities at scale. \u201c<\/span><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\"><a class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/isagca.org\">Zero Trust Outcomes Using ISA\/IEC 62443 Standards<\/a><\/span><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">\u201d is available for download on the ISAGCA website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\"><span class=\"ContentText-BodyTextChunk ContentText-BodyTextChunk_bold\">About ISAGCA<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ContentParagraph ContentParagraph_align_left\" data-testid=\"content-paragraph\"><span class=\"ContentText ContentText_variant_bodyNormal\" data-testid=\"content-text\">The ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA) is a collaborative forum to advance OT cybersecurity awareness, education, readiness, standardization and knowledge sharing.
