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 operational technology (OT) networks, such as those in factories and power plants, to external networks (IT), there is a growing need for "secure one-way communication to send data," leading to an increase in the adoption of OWCD. Today, we 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, it is nearly impossible to constantly perform collection and analysis if we do not send the OT information, which we want to keep cleaner, to the often challenging IT side. 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. For SIers, if you want to promote cybersecurity, let's effectively utilize boundary control to protect yourselves. There is a video explanation linked below! Feel free to reach out for inquiries.

The terror of ransomware lies not in stealing data, but in its power to halt daily life. It penetrates deep within systems, targeting file servers and database servers to launch attacks. As the name "infostealer" suggests, this information-gathering malware operates stealthily. Before launching an attack, it steals authentication information, thoroughly investigates targets, and identifies the locations of important business secrets and personal information. Unlike the moment when a system is encrypted and it becomes immediately clear that an attack has occurred, the insidiousness of information-gathering malware lies in its ability to collect information without the victim realizing it, often having infiltrated days in advance and causing data leaks. This malware sends the information it gathers back to external attackers via the infiltration route. By intercepting this flow, much of the damage can be prevented. It allows for securing time until other security measures or virus removals can take effect, minimizing operational downtime. The data diode "OWCD" achieves a physical one-way communication restriction that allows no data to pass through. Since it is a physical method, it can be used safely even without on-site personnel.

A data diode that restricts communication in one direction, specifically the physical data diode "OWCD" that truly cuts off the line in one direction. By skillfully combining it, we can create a network that protects the supply chain. In making meaningful use of the internet, the crucial systems can: - Shut out unauthorized intrusions from the source - Shut out information leaks on the receiving side Of course, it can also be combined with checking functions. How is the data being sent? Are you struggling to create a DB integration system? While it may lack the glamour of IT technology, often, information transmission via files is sufficient. Would you rather simplify things with files than create a system with many invisible parts? In the transmission and reception of documents within the supply chain, placing OWCDs on both sides can strengthen protection. If bidirectionality is necessary, it can be addressed by establishing mutual setups. The use of OWCD is increasingly being utilized by SIers in their proposals to customers. Please make use of it to strengthen your cybersecurity. For inquiries, please visit our website through the link below.

Ransomware encryption and information leaks are occurring one after another. "Backup in a separate environment, immutability, and restoration testing" are listed as essential measures to take against ransomware. The intrusion routes are diverse, including email, web, social media, and VPN devices, and the risk increases as the use of the internet grows with the spread of generative AI. Once breached, recovery can take days, during which business operations may come to a halt. Therefore, a multi-layered backup that combines online and offline methods is indispensable. Backups are the most critical assets to protect, and when they are accessible externally, they become prime targets for attackers. By blocking unnecessary communication paths, large-scale damage can be avoided. OWCD can create a structure where data can be sent from the production environment to the backup in a "one-way" manner, making it impossible for intrusions from the backup to the production environment. In other words, this is an effective means of protecting the backup environment from ransomware, thus reinforcing the "separation of the backup environment." The level of defense can be significantly enhanced depending on how the system is set up. Please consider this. For inquiries, please visit the related link below.

Zero Trust Security: Did you know that if you don't operate it properly at all times, you could have been breached a long time ago? With "stealth cyber attacks," half of passwords are compromised, allowing intrusions to occur openly, and 80% of unauthorized signals that you might notice later are stealthily hidden, so you remain unaware at that moment... Once it reaches this point, the probability of a bad move failing is only a few percent, allowing them to do as they please. Did you know that there are actually two ways to use OWCD? One is to protect the core without allowing intrusion. The other is to avoid actual damage by "not revealing anything." There are very few cases where simply achieving the goal by gaining access is sufficient. Once inside, the intruder can scout the system, penetrate critical areas, encrypt contents to halt operations, extract confidential information, or continuously send malicious emails... these are the actual damages. For this to happen, the virus itself must communicate with external malicious intruders and be remotely controlled. If that communication cannot occur, even if there is an intrusion, no actual damage has yet occurred, allowing time to detect and eliminate even unknown viruses. Cybersecurity: Depending on how you use OWCD, you can strengthen your defenses. Please consider it. For inquiries, please use the related link below.

DX through database integration such as ERP can lead to a situation where a virus propagates within the supply chain, causing extensive damage if one mistake is made. By effectively utilizing the data diode OWCD, which restricts communication in one direction, we can achieve micro-segmentation and mitigate damage that spreads through the network. If we add file transfers between parties, even if the security management levels and malware countermeasures differ, we can clarify the points of responsibility and create separate networks, preventing everything from coming to a halt. OWCD physically enforces one-way communication restrictions. It may seem very simple, but by ensuring that what needs to be stopped is indeed stopped, while allowing the internet to be used in various ways, we can ensure that critical systems: - Block unauthorized intrusions at the source - Block unauthorized transmissions at the receiving end It can be used for various applications, including understanding production status using ERP, IoT, and remote monitoring data collection. There are increasing examples of SIers utilizing OWCD in their proposals to clients. Please make use of it. For inquiries, please visit our website through the link below.

Our products are equipped with overwhelming defense capabilities that "physically isolate" against both external intrusions and internal leaks. Even those who are not IT-savvy can handle it, making it a security solution that truly integrates "peace of mind in connectivity" and "protective mechanisms." Data diodes are top-class defense devices specialized in unidirectional communication, but we have received many inquiries about whether they can also be used for bidirectional communication. This is a testament to the high regard for their "protective power." VPNs used for remote maintenance are becoming increasingly ineffective due to the evolution of attack methods, making it difficult to balance intrusion prevention with rapid and efficient maintenance. Therefore, we strongly recommend a high-security configuration utilizing OWCD: Remote Desktop. Our application separates standard Windows communications and routes them through different paths while inserting OWCD, effectively blocking unauthorized access to the source side. This is an extremely effective method for adding "upper-layer defense" to existing environments. Furthermore, combining it with other security measures allows for multilayered defense, minimizing potential damage in case of an incident. We have received many inquiries from system integrators, and this configuration has proven results and trust. For inquiries, please visit our website at the link below ⤵.

We have set up CABS, which is utilized for field balancing to address shaft vibration and dynamic balancing issues in large turbo machinery (steam turbine generators, gas turbine generators, blowers/air compressors, etc.), for small and medium-sized machines and motor-driven equipment. The challenges associated with bearings cannot be completely avoided, as there will always be slight imbalances in the rotating body or misalignments during assembly (such as centering and distortion), regardless of how well the bearings are made. Moreover, if field balancing is not performed properly after assembly on long shafts or flexible foundations, it can lead to problems caused by vibrations later on. CABS is actively used for field balancing and continuous monitoring of the condition of large turbo machinery. CABS-M is a condensed version that focuses solely on the core functions for field balancing tasks. Electric drive machines are becoming larger day by day, and while the elastic forces increase, the structure of the foundations is shifting from rigid to flexible, complicating the vibration mechanisms. This helps in understanding and analyzing the vibration state. Please feel free to contact us through https://power.mhi.com/jp/group/eng/business/products/cabs.

One-way communication restriction device data diode "OWCD" The recognition among infrastructure engineers and security engineers has been increasing. You are already aware of it, right? The simple structure of the data diode, which is dedicated to physically allowing communication to flow in only one direction, is well supported. However, relying solely on that capability may not be sufficient to start utilization. Therefore, we have prepared a lineup that responds to various communication needs, including converting bidirectional communication protocols to flow in only one direction, protocol conversion according to the circumstances of the receiving side, such as the internet, and even enhancing value through the collection and analysis of IoT information. Among them, one option is the data diode OWCD "Data Secure Link." It is absolutely not allowed for anything to enter internally, and it can be utilized to ensure the security of our customers. As digital transformation progresses, the operational management becomes increasingly challenging with the growing communication volume. We encourage you to utilize the data diode OWCD "Data Secure Link," which allows for easy and clear use with minimal running costs and ensures safe and secure operations. There is a video introducing the principle; please check the related link below.

The one-way communication restriction device data diode OWCD has become essential for cybersecurity. Its simplicity, dedicated to flowing communication in one direction from left to right, is the reason. Configuration for OWCD is unrelated and as convenient as an Ethernet cable. Taking a step beyond simply "flowing communication," we have prepared a system that ensures when moving frequently used "files" to networks with different management classifications, intruders and infected files do not enter, and information is not leaked to the recipient. This is the OWCD "File Secure Link." It is equipped with a function that automatically transfers files between specific computer folders, allowing files to be delivered to a different security zone. What is actually increasing in Japanese offices is "files." The management of data is often difficult due to the loose coupling that aligns with security measures and system expansions, making files surprisingly utilized. OWCD "File Secure Link" can be used easily and clearly, ensuring safe and secure operations. It is used for safely sending files in inter-office collaboration and equipment management in production sites! For inquiries, please visit the related link below.

It has been over 40 years since we introduced field balance adjustment for turbo machinery. We have been utilized in various turbo machines, primarily steam turbine generators and gas turbine generators, as well as fans, blowers, and pumps. Building on that foundation, we are not only active in commissioning adjustments during new installations and after-service but also as a permanent vibration monitoring device worldwide. We have prepared a model that further enhances this capability, equipped to monitor the overall condition of the equipment. This is particularly beneficial for machines requiring forced lubrication, as it assists in measurement and dynamic balance adjustment without being constrained by the elasticity or length of the shaft. It is possible to collect various signals, including vibration waveform signals. We can establish alarm circuits for operators and predictive notification circuits for engineers. Furthermore, integration with various analysis systems is possible. This can also be utilized for quality control in factories and for reducing manpower during on-site commissioning. In a world where electrification is advancing, the demand for rotating bodies is not decreasing but rather increasing. Please feel free to reach out to us.

One-way communication restriction device data diode "OWCD" now supports "OPC UA communication"! OPC UA, which is platform-independent and enables seamless communication information, offers high flexibility and allows for connectivity benefits throughout the entire production process. By utilizing flags categorized by industry, unified information can be obtained even from different production equipment manufacturers, contributing to the improvement of production DX. It is expected to continue spreading towards the standardization of industrial communication technologies. While OPC UA can implement security measures such as encryption, connecting networks across segments can create security holes. This is where "OWCD" comes into play. Even with the use of firewalls and switches, maintenance can be cumbersome, and mistakes can occur, and outdated firmware may not prevent passage. The "OPC UA support" of OWCD does not require configuration for one-way communication. It is hassle-free and reliable. In the current situation where multi-layered defense is required against ransomware, we respond to production equipment security needs such as micro-segmentation.

It is said that "with zero trust in security measures, boundary control for intrusion prevention is outdated," but... ultimately, there are security holes somewhere, leading to breaches, and it takes days to restart the system and restore data from backups, during which nothing can be done. This has been in the news, and there are even worse cases. The physical data diode OWCD provides hassle-free boundary control. Did you know that there are actually two ways to use it? One is to "prevent any intrusion" to protect the core. The other is to "prevent any data from leaving" to avoid the actual harm of takeover. Ransomware relies on remote communication with the outside. By shutting that down, it prevents leaks and encryption. By combining it with access authentication and virus detection mechanisms, we enhance the overall availability of your medical system and protect your medical services. Not only in healthcare, but government agencies and companies that skillfully combine OWCD to strengthen their defenses while improving convenience are rapidly increasing, as are the SIers providing these solutions. We encourage your company to utilize the physical data diode OWCD. Please refer to our website for more information. There are also video explanations!

Securing the manpower needed for the maintenance and management of production facilities and infrastructure is becoming increasingly difficult. While monitoring systems for conditions have become quite common, for those creating the systems, it is still not easy to start with AI if there is no data available, and it is unclear what methods to use and what preparations are necessary, not to mention whether the costs are justifiable for the business. Even though the goal is simply to reduce manpower, being urged to promote DX (Digital Transformation) only raises the hurdles. Moreover, even for a Proof of Concept (PoC), security measures are essential. Supporting everyone working to improve predictive monitoring and predictive maintenance operations is our company's "KinectEye Predictive Monitoring/Predictive Maintenance Smart Solution." In particular: - We excel in methods for securely handling and recording data. We can build systems with cyber resilience measures in place. - We support the measurement and utilization of waveform data such as vibration, acoustics, and current values.

Highly praised OWCD The communication is physically limited to one direction, and nothing can pass in the reverse direction. If the only purpose is to convey the operational status of production equipment to the office management system, there is no need to allow any two-way communication. By closing it off, we can prevent virus intrusion from the office. However, it is also true that the communication used in production equipment differs in standards and other aspects from that used in the office. We have prepared a 3“i” that integrates the functionality of one-way communication and decoding protocol processing, allowing for easy implementation. It supports mainstream CSV transfer via PLC and the OPC UA, which will become the standard in the future. Additionally, it collaborates with the IoT monitoring network within the factory, strongly supporting yield improvement, quality enhancement, and condition monitoring. The system physically blocks external signals while reliably delivering only internal information, facilitating the safe use of data from your production equipment. As ransomware attacks become more serious, even with a completely independent production equipment network, you can advance data visualization while maintaining security and achieve higher levels of improvement activities.

The most common entry points for malicious attacks are email, social media, web browsers, VPN devices, and remote desktops. While remote access is necessary for various reasons, such as 24/7 system maintenance, it can also become a pathway for intrusions, making remote maintenance impossible. To address this, we have developed a method that completely separates the pathways of operational signals, which only enter when necessary via keyboard and mouse, from the signals of the display, which continuously flow out. By restricting communication to one direction for each signal, we achieve complete separation. With zero intrusions and zero leaks, you can gain "peace of mind" simply by implementing this solution, even without IT knowledge. This is the "OWCD Remote Maintenance Security Enhancement Solution." Even if something happens to the VPN line, the level of security is different. By combining it with zero trust security, we can defend in layers and detect, counter, and eliminate unauthorized signals. While similar products have started to appear overseas, there are currently none in Japan. We encourage you to take advantage of this. There is an explanatory video at the related link below!

Cyber attacks have now progressed to targeting "operational shutdowns" of companies, moving beyond just "information leaks." Infostealer malware reportedly collects information from the victim's computer, categorizes it into text files, compresses it into zip files, and sends it to the attacker's computer in about a minute. Moreover, it possesses the intelligence to evade communication monitoring. By the time one realizes it, the malware has infiltrated deep within the system, allowing the attacker to cause real damage at any chosen moment. While humans are still making judgments, the attack quietly progresses, and the damage expands. Critical infrastructure, production facilities, IoT, SYS-LOG lines—once breached, these areas put business continuity at risk. It is also essential to have a mechanism that seals off the "exit" to the outside world where information-extracting malware can send out data. If reconnaissance activities by viruses are allowed, the next risk will be a direct hit to operations. OWCD physically cuts off communication in one direction, fundamentally eliminating unauthorized intrusions and leaks. It builds a "zero trust wall" with hardware that cannot be breached by software, eradicating any room for attackers. It pairs exceptionally well with zero trust! It is chosen as the "last bastion" of multi-layered defense. There is an explanatory video at the related link below! This technology is patented by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.

The "Predictive Monitoring Solution MTSystem," which prevents equipment and device failures by identifying unusual conditions, is utilized as part of "next-generation maintenance" that monitors the state of operations. However, is it only the production equipment that is "different from usual"? Depending on the monitoring content of the production process, our "MTSystem" can also be used for quality control. Since it is based on quality engineering's "Taguchi Method," it may be natural for factories that conduct QC rigorously to utilize it. However, whether a solid and continuous monitoring system is in place is another matter... that may be the reality. In the end, isn't it the case that results are based on post-production sampling inspections? It is expected that labor shortages will become more severe in the future. The scope that one must manage will expand and become more complex. Monitoring is not just about using expensive inspection equipment and leveraging AI for pre-shipment inspections. Often, small improvements during the process can be very beneficial for yield enhancement. We encourage you to consider utilizing it. For inquiries, please refer to the related links below.

Many AI products for preventing troubles have emerged. But do you really know if they are usable? SIers often don’t know what to do and end up completely relying on AI vendors, leading to a lack of alignment between users and vendors, resulting in many issues. In the first place, with the increasing number of "AIs," it is impossible to suddenly determine which one is optimal. In comparison, the "MT system" can be easily started without overthinking it. Many physical AIs do not require the preparation of necessary training data in this system. The same goes for the "MT system"; let's first collect normal data and try using the "MT system." Recently, coding has become relatively easier with the help of generative AI, but simplifying system construction is still quite challenging... By progressing from areas that you can easily tackle, you can fully understand and prevent your challenges from becoming chaotic or derailed. We are using it ourselves. We can provide broad support, including data collection, visualization systems, and server security measures. We will support you in solving each technical challenge that may cause you concern.
