2 — Topology: links between zones ​

This step lets you graphically represent the zones defined in step 1 and create the topological links between them (network, physical, logical connections…), along with their security properties.

Toolbar ​

Button / ControlFunction
+ ZoneQuickly adds a new zone directly from this view
➕ Draw a link / ✕ Cancel linkToggles link-drawing mode — click the source zone, then the target zone
+ / - (zoom)Zoom in / out on the diagram
⊡Resets zoom and centring
↩ / ↪Undo / Redo

Working with the diagram ​

  • Drag a zone: moves it on the canvas.
  • Mouse wheel: zoom.
  • Alt + left click (or middle-click) + drag: pans the view.
  • Right-click a link: deletes the link.
  • Click a zone: opens the zone detail panel.
  • Click a link: opens the link configuration panel.

Each zone shows its name, its type, and badges indicating the number of checked vulnerabilities (🐛) and defined properties (🏷️) on the diagram.

Selected zone panel ​

Clicking a zone opens a side panel with:

SectionContent
FieldsName, type, description (editable)
🏷️ Zone propertiesCheckboxes among the properties defined in the vulnerability reference library
⚙️ Zone equipmentRead-only table of equipment (present, name, category) — additions are made in 1 — Facility
🐛 Checked vulnerabilitiesList of vulnerability identifiers (V-xx) checked for this zone

Clicking a link opens a panel with:

FieldDescription
Typeréseau, physique, logique, wifi, wan — displayed as-is, not translated in the interface
Trustlow, medium, high — colours the link on the diagram (red/orange/grey)
BidirectionalThe link allows traffic in both directions (double arrow on the diagram)
Filtering (firewall)Indicates whether the link is filtered — an unfiltered link is drawn dashed
ProtocolsList of protocols used (RDP, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, OPC-UA, Modbus, PROFINET, SNMP, VPN/IPSec, VPN/TLS…) — add/remove as chips
Link vulnerabilitiesSubset of the reference library applicable to links (V5, V7, V20, V21)
🗑 DeleteDeletes the link

Consistency with vulnerabilities

The vulnerabilities checked here (zones and links) are the same ones managed in step 3 — Vulnerabilities, which offers a full tabular view by reference library chapter.
