The compatibility between Zero Trust and data diodes is actually outstanding! The number of adoption cases is steadily increasing. Let's make visible progress!
Zero Trust is fundamentally about "not trusting," but there is the challenge of "how to connect to places that cannot be fully trusted." This is where the data diode OWCD comes into play!
When connecting control networks (OT) in factories and power plants to external networks (IT), there is a growing need for "secure one-way communication to send data," and the adoption of OWCD is increasing. Today, I will discuss "secure transfer of Syslog" within this context.
To realize Zero Trust, it is essential to continuously collect and analyze logs and monitoring data from each device. However, if we do not send the OT information, which we want to keep cleaner, to the often challenging IT side, it becomes nearly impossible to conduct continuous collection and analysis.
This makes it perfect for the purpose of simply sending OT-side logs and monitoring data to the IT-side SIEM.
In fact, the adoption is rapidly increasing from infrastructure engineering applications. SIers, if you want to promote cybersecurity, let's effectively utilize boundary control to protect yourselves.
