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. There is an explanatory video linked below! Feel free to reach out for inquiries.

The true horror of ransomware lies not in stealing data, but in its power to halt daily life. It infiltrates deep within systems, targeting file servers and database servers to launch attacks. As the name "infostealer" suggests, information-gathering malware is at work. Before launching a ransomware attack, it steals authentication credentials and thoroughly investigates the target. Unlike when files are encrypted and it's immediately obvious that an attack has occurred, 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. Upon investigation, it may be found that the intrusion occurred days prior, leading to data leaks. The information is sent to the attacker following the path of intrusion. 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" accomplishes a physical one-way communication restriction. Moreover, 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 the line in one direction. By skillfully combining it, we can create a network that protects the supply chain. While the internet can be used in various ways, the critical systems can: - Shut out unauthorized intrusions from the source - Shut out information leaks from the receiving side Of course, it can also be combined with checking functions. Isn't it still common to attach PDF files to emails and send them to others? Perhaps sending via FTP? Even in situations where emails are simply accepted, utilizing OWCD to prevent leaks from that circuit is recommended. In the case of sending and receiving documents in the supply chain, placing OWCDs on both sides can strengthen the defense even further. If bidirectional communication is necessary, it can be addressed by establishing it mutually. 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 company website through the related link below.

There have been a series of unauthorized encryption and information leaks due to ransomware. Intrusions often occur through emails, websites, social media, and VPN devices. With the development of generative AI, the opportunities to use the internet in offices have increased, but ultimately, intrusions can occur by breaking into systems, requiring several days to restore the system, during which business operations come to a halt. To prepare for such incidents, it is effective to have layered backups of data both online and offline, but... Ransomware does not achieve its goals merely by intruding. It involves reconnaissance within the system, penetrating to critical operational areas, and encrypting or exfiltrating data, which can damage your company's reputation. For this, it is necessary for the intruder to communicate and operate remotely. If that communication is not possible, even if an intrusion occurs, the worst-case scenario has not yet happened, allowing time to detect and eliminate the threat through various methods. Backup data should be stored deeply. If external access is possible from there, it becomes advantageous for the intruder. By cutting off unnecessary lines, you can avoid significant damage. Depending on how you use it, you can strengthen your defenses. Please consider this. For inquiries, please visit the related link below. There is also an explanatory video available.

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? If targeted, half of passwords can be cracked, allowing intruders to enter freely, and 80% of the unauthorized signals that you notice later go unnoticed at that time... Once it reaches this point, the probability of a bad move failing is only a few percent, allowing them to do as they please. OWCD provides hassle-free boundary control, but did you know there are actually two ways to use it? One is to protect the core without allowing intrusion. The other is to prevent actual damage by "not letting anything out." There are very few cases where simply achieving the goal by intruding is sufficient. Once inside, the intruder can scout the target's system, penetrate critical areas, encrypt data to halt operations, extract confidential information, or continuously send malicious emails... these actions result in actual harm. For this to happen, the virus itself must communicate with external malicious intruders and be remotely controlled. If that communication cannot occur, even if an intrusion happens, no actual damage has occurred yet, allowing time to detect and eliminate even unknown viruses. Cybersecurity: The way you use OWCD 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 spreads within the supply chain, causing extensive damage if one mistake is made. By effectively using the one-way communication data diode (OWCD), we can mitigate the damage that spreads through the network. The time for recovery in case of an incident is clearly different. 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 restricts communication to one direction. It may seem very plain, but by ensuring that we stop what needs to be stopped, while allowing various uses of the internet, we can ensure that critical systems: - Block unauthorized intrusions at the source - Block unauthorized communications on the receiving side It can be used for various applications, including monitoring production status with ERP, IoT, and remote 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 related link below.

Our products physically block both external intrusions and internal information leaks. You don't need to be IT-savvy. We combine "peace of mind in connectivity" with "protective mechanisms." This is the security we want you to choose. Since data diodes are devices that control communication in one direction, bidirectional communication is not possible. However, because they are excellent devices for preventing unauthorized access from the source side, we often receive requests asking if there is a way to use them bidirectionally. VPNs, commonly used for remote maintenance, have become quite ineffective as a security measure on their own. We are often asked if it is possible to balance intrusion prevention with remote maintenance. This is where we introduce a high-security case utilizing OWCD: "Remote Desktop." By separating the contents of the communication used in the Windows service "Remote Desktop" and routing them through different paths, and by incorporating OWCD, we can prevent unauthorized access and intrusions to the source side. By combining with other security systems, we can achieve multilayered defense and minimize damage. We have received numerous inquiries from SIers.

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 solely to physically directing communication in one direction, is well-supported. However, relying solely on that capability can be cumbersome for practical use. Therefore, we have prepared a lineup to respond to various communication needs, including making communication protocols that require bidirectionality flow in one direction, protocol conversion according to the recipient's circumstances such as the Internet, and even enhancing value through the collection and analysis of IoT information. Among these, one product 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 (DX) progresses, the operational management becomes increasingly challenging with the growing volume of communication. Please make use of the data diode OWCD "Data Secure Link," which allows for easy and clear utilization with minimal running costs and ensures safe and secure operations. There is a video introducing the principles; please check the related link below.

The one-way communication restriction device data diode OWCD has become essential for cybersecurity. Its simple structure, dedicated to flowing communication in one direction from left to right, surprisingly aligns well with zero trust measures. Taking a step beyond merely transmitting communication, we have prepared a system that ensures when moving "files," which you frequently use, to networks with different management classifications, it does not allow intruders or infected files to enter, nor does it leak our information to the recipient. This is the OWCD "File Secure Link." It is equipped with a function to automatically transfer files between specific computer folders, allowing files to be delivered to another security zone. In Japan's digital transformation (DX), what is actually increasing in offices is "files." The data itself is difficult to loosely couple with security measures or system expansions, making files surprisingly prevalent. OWCD "File Secure Link" enables easy and clear use, ensuring safe and secure operations. It is also used for collaboration between offices and for safely sending CSV files in equipment management at production sites! For inquiries, please visit the related links 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" introduces "OPC UA communication"! OPC UA, which is platform-independent and seamlessly integrates various communication information, offers extremely high flexibility and demonstrates connectivity benefits throughout the entire production process. By utilizing flags categorized by each 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, the ability to cross segments that do not require "dialogue" can lead to security holes. This is where the "OWCD" comes into play. Even when utilizing settings with firewalls and switches in the information transmission circuit, maintenance can be cumbersome, and mistakes can occur, especially if outdated firmware prevents passage. The "OPC UA compatibility" 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. There is an explanatory video at the related link below!

It is said that with "zero trust, security measures are perfect and intrusion prevention through boundary control is outdated," but in the end, there are always security holes somewhere that can be exploited, leading to system reboots and taking days to restore data from backups during which nothing can be done, which often makes the news. There are even worse cases. The physical data diode OWCD provides hassle-free boundary control, but did you know that there are actually two ways to use it? One is to protect the core without allowing intrusions. The other is to prevent any data from being sent out, thus avoiding the actual damage from takeover. Ransomware relies on remote communication with the outside. By shutting that down, we can counteract data leaks and ransom demands for encrypted data. 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 reducing costs are rapidly increasing, as are the SIers providing these solutions. We encourage your company to consider utilizing the physical data diode OWCD. Please also refer to our website. There are video explanations available!

There are discussions about what AI is and what DX is. However, ideally, these changes should be implemented after deciding on the content of the reforms. You have been instructed to make IT changes first, and without knowing whether you can achieve useful improvements or whether it will benefit the business, you cannot just dive in blindly. Moreover, you don't even know how much it will cost. For those of you in such situations, we would like to introduce a simple mechanism to monitor the condition of your equipment. We cannot handle complicated matters or distinguish with high precision. But do your products and installed equipment really break in the same way repeatedly? You need to accurately identify any unusual occurrences; otherwise, progress will be difficult. In such cases, a good tool is "MTSystem." Please make use of "MTSystem," which can be developed into a better monitoring system. We offer sales of the software alone, as well as devices for edge and endpoint use.

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. Based on the experience we have cultivated over the past 40 years, we will assist you in creating systems tailored to your needs throughout the entire process from the initial planning stage.

- Let's gather operational information from the PLC and visualize it. - Using IoT for factory monitoring, let's actively improve yield, enhance quality, and conduct condition monitoring. - By connecting medical devices and electronic medical record systems with medical administration systems, let's aim for the ongoing efficiency of healthcare. However, there are often high barriers, and it is a natural flow to completely isolate devices due to security vulnerabilities. To reliably protect critical IT assets that are potentially at risk of external intrusion, we should ensure that information can be shared internally while remaining completely independent from external access. That's where "OWCD" comes in. It physically shuts out signals from the outside! The setup process is unnecessary, and it can be used simply and clearly. A certain company's ransomware attack targeted network devices, right? Passwords can be broken. There are no settings for OWCD. You are freed from maintenance tasks such as configuring routers and firewalls, applying patches, and managing passwords. One of the cyber resilience measures defined in Japan, the United States, and Europe can be realized through one-way communication control. This technology is patented by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. There is an explanatory video at the related link below! Feel free to contact us.

The most common entry points for malicious attacks are email, social media, web browsers, VPN devices, and remote desktops. Remote access is necessary for various reasons, such as 24/7 system maintenance, but if VPN devices and remote desktops cannot be used... Therefore, we have prepared a method to completely separate the flow of signals from the operation side, such as keyboards and mice, and the signals from the target side, such as displays, to protect "operations" from line hijacking. By allowing signals to flow in only one direction for each, communication is completely separated. Zero intrusions, zero leaks—by simply implementing this, you can gain "peace of mind" even without IT knowledge. This is the "OWCD Remote Maintenance Security Enhancement Solution." By doing this, even if something happens to the VPN, 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 still none in Japan. Please make use of it. There is an explanatory video at the related link below!

Cyber attacks are now aimed at "management and operational shutdown" rather than "information leakage." The automatic generation of malware and the high precision of phishing are advancing, and attacks are unfolding at speeds that exceed human thought. Firewalls, VPNs, gateways, virus checks, and access authentication software—how far can these keep up? Maintenance is challenging, and the reality is… In a certain survey, it took an average of 349 days to realize an intrusion had occurred; in fact, infiltration had already taken place. Whether actual damage occurs depends on the intruder. While humans are still thinking about how to respond… The era of human versus human is coming to an end, and we are entering the era of machine versus machine. It is essential to have systems in place that can reliably stop unnecessary communications, as well as to block the "outlets" through which malware communicates with the outside from within the information assets that need to be protected. OWCD eliminates external intrusions or data exfiltration by physically blocking communication in one direction. It realizes the "zero trust barrier" that cannot be fully prevented by software control through hardware. The use of multi-layered defense is rapidly increasing.

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, resulting in a lack of alignment between users and vendors, which often leads to... This is the reality. In comparison, the "MT system" can be easily started without overthinking it. Many physical AIs do not require the preparation of necessary training data with this system. Let's take normal data and try using the "MT system." Even with excellent AI, the actual determination of whether something is abnormal ultimately comes down to visual and auditory checks. If that's the case, being able to simply notice "something is different" or "something is wrong" allows for steady progress, little by little. By advancing from a range that you can easily tackle, you can prevent your own challenges from being completely handed off to someone who does not fully understand them, which could lead to confusion and derailment. We are using it ourselves. We can provide broad support, including data collection, visualization systems, and server security measures. We will assist in solving each technical challenge that may cause concern. Please contact us through the related links below.
