Digital transformation also emphasizes the importance of system protection. Let's effectively use data diodes (OWCD) as a communication restriction to protect ourselves from information-gathering malware reconnaissance.
The true horror of ransomware lies not in stealing data, but in its power to halt daily life. It infiltrates deep within systems to identify and attack targets such as file servers and database servers.
A type of information-gathering malware called "infostealer" has emerged. Did you know that it steals authentication credentials before launching a ransomware attack? Unlike ransomware attacks, where files are encrypted and the damage is immediately apparent, information-gathering malware collects data without the victim realizing it. It steals system information, which later aids attackers when they infiltrate the system or expand their infection after gaining access. They can leak information that has been gathered days in advance.
The information is sent to the attacker via the infiltration route. By blocking the information produced by this information-gathering malware, much of the damage can be prevented. This can be achieved by equipping the system with an OWCD.
The data diode "OWCD" physically restricts communication to one direction only. Moreover, since it is a physical method, it can be used safely without the need for permanent personnel.
