Zero Trust is fundamentally about "not trusting," but since the premise is "connecting," there is the challenge of "how to connect under the premise of not connecting." 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), the demand for "sending data securely via one-way communication" is increasing, leading to a rise 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, but if that system management information cannot be sent to infrastructure engineers, it becomes nearly impossible to conduct detailed analysis. Once breached, the consequences can be catastrophic... OWCD is perfect for a route that simply sends logs and monitoring data to SIEM. It only allows one-way flow. The adoption by infrastructure engineers is rapidly increasing. It is indispensable for support services. For system integrators, if you want to promote cybersecurity, let's effectively utilize boundary control as well. There is a video explanation linked below! Feel free to reach out for inquiries.

The horror of ransomware lies not only in its ability to steal data but also in its power to halt daily life. It steadily infiltrates deep within systems, targeting file servers and database servers to launch attacks. “Info-stealer” malware is at work, stealing authentication information and thoroughly investigating targets before launching an attack, identifying the locations of important business secrets and personal information. Unlike the moment when a system is encrypted and it becomes immediately apparent that an attack has occurred, the stealthy operation of information-gathering malware allows it to collect data without the victim realizing it, often having infiltrated days in advance and causing data leaks. This malware sends the information it has gathered back to external attackers by tracing the infiltration route. By blocking that communication channel, it secures time until other security measures or virus removals can take effect, minimizing operational downtime. Boundary control is not just for preventing intrusions. The data diode "OWCD" physically restricts communication in one direction, allowing for high security even without on-site personnel due to its physical method.

A data diode that restricts communication in one direction, specifically a physical data diode that truly cuts the line in one direction, called "OWCD." By utilizing it effectively, you 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. How are you sending data? Are you struggling to create a DB integration system? While it may lack the glamour of IT technology, often, file-based information transmission is sufficient. Instead of building a system with many invisible parts, why not just use files? Utilizing JSON is recommended. In the exchange of documents, placing OWCDs on both sides can strengthen your defenses. If bidirectional communication is necessary, you can accommodate that by setting up mutual arrangements. The use of OWCD is increasingly being utilized by SIers in their proposals to clients. Originality can also be achieved by combining it with various check functions. Please make use of it to enhance your cybersecurity.

Ransomware encryption and information leaks are occurring one after another. "Backup in a separate environment, immutability, and recovery 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. Quick recovery requires a data backup that combines both online and offline methods. Backups are the most critical assets; when they are accessible externally, they become prime targets for attackers. Let's avoid large-scale damage by cutting off unnecessary communication paths. OWCD can protect against poor outcomes by making the backup environment a "one-way channel for sending data to be stored," thereby blocking information leaks obtained by ransomware. ➡ Adopted as a technology to enhance the "separation of backups: storing in different segments." While having OWCD does not solve everything, the way it is implemented can significantly enhance defensive capabilities. Please consider it. 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 using a data diode (OWCD) that restricts communication in one direction, it is possible to minimize damage transmitted through the network by segmenting connections to the necessary range. In addition to CSV and binary formats, incorporating file transfers such as JSON and HTTPS can clarify the responsibility boundaries and create a network that prevents everything from stopping, even when security management levels and malware countermeasures differ. OWCD physically enforces one-way communication restrictions. While it may seem very mundane, it effectively stops what needs to be stopped, allowing the internet to be used in various ways while ensuring that critical systems can: - Shut out unauthorized intrusions from the source - Shut out unauthorized transmissions from the receiving side It can be utilized for various purposes, including understanding production status, IoT, and remote monitoring data collection. There are increasing examples of SIers utilizing OWCD in their proposals to customers. Please make use of it. For inquiries, please visit our company website through the link below.

Remote maintenance of systems: While VPNs have been criticized and ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) is recommended, are you aware that there is a more robust foundation that can provide better protection? It has become difficult to balance intrusion prevention with rapid and efficient maintenance. Are you under the illusion that if VPNs are inadequate, everything will be fine with ZTNA? Connecting directly to applications from remote locations carries various risks beyond just access rights. We provide a system to address those risks. High security using OWCD: Remote Desktop. Our application separates standard Windows communications and routes them differently, inserting OWCD to strongly block unauthorized access to the source. This is an extremely effective method for adding "upper layer defenses" to existing environments. Our product offers overwhelming defense power that "physically blocks" both external intrusions and internal leaks. It can be handled even by those who are not IT-savvy, integrating "peace of mind in connectivity" with "protection mechanisms," making it a security solution that should be chosen. When combined with other security measures, it enables multi-layered defense, minimizing potential damage in case of an incident. 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" In response to the premise that "there is no connection," where zero trust security cannot be applied, the simple structure of the data diode, which focuses solely on allowing communication to flow in one direction physically, is supported. However, relying solely on boundary restriction capabilities may not be sufficient to start utilizing it. Therefore, we have developed the OWCD to meet various communication needs, including converting bidirectional communication protocols to one-way, adapting to the circumstances of the receiving side, such as the Internet, and enhancing value through the collection and analysis of IoT information. Among these, one product is the data diode OWCD "Data Secure Link." It supports TCP, SMTP relay, and SNMP traps. It is absolutely not allowed for anything to enter internally, and it can be utilized to ensure customer security. 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 can be used easily and clearly, with minimal running costs, ensuring 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 simplicity, dedicated to flowing communication in one direction from left to right, is the reason. The setup is straightforward, akin to an Ethernet cable. Taking a step beyond "just flowing communication," we have prepared a system that ensures when moving "files," which you frequently use, to networks with different management classifications, intruders cannot enter, and unnecessary information does not leak 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. What is actually increasing in Japanese offices is "files." The management of data can be difficult due to the loose coupling that aligns with security measures and system expansions, making files surprisingly common. With files, encryption and backup are also easy. OWCD "File Secure Link" can be used easily and clearly, ensuring safe and secure operations. It is utilized for safely sending files between offices and for equipment management in production sites! For inquiries, please refer to 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" now supports "OPC UA communication"! OPC UA is highly flexible and platform-independent, allowing for seamless communication of various information, enabling 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, especially if outdated firmware prevents 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 vulnerabilities lurking somewhere in security, and intrusions occur from there. Zero trust is fundamentally based on the premise of "being connected," while protecting critical devices requires the premise of "not being connected." The physical data diode OWCD provides hassle-free boundary control based on the premise of "not being connected." Did you know there are actually two ways to use it? One is to protect the core by "not allowing anything to intrude." The other is to prevent takeover and actual damage by "not allowing anything to exit." 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 medical institutions, but government agencies and companies that skillfully combine OWCD to strengthen security while improving convenience are rapidly increasing, as are the SIers providing these solutions. We encourage your company to make use of 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 requirement is to convey the operational status of production equipment to the office management system, there is no need for bidirectional communication. By properly implementing measures and closing off the incoming routes, 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 decryption protocol processing, allowing for easy implementation. It supports mainstream CSV transfer via PLC and the future standard OPC UA. Furthermore, 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 our customers' production equipment. As ransomware threats become more serious, it is possible to advance data visualization and achieve higher improvement activities while maintaining security, even within a completely independent production equipment network.

- Let's collect operational information from the PLC and visualize it. - Let's actively improve yield and quality, as well as conduct condition monitoring using IoT for factory monitoring. - Let's connect medical devices, electronic medical record systems, and medical administrative systems to enhance the efficiency of expanding healthcare. However, there are high barriers: "Our devices are vulnerable from a security standpoint, so we must keep them completely isolated." This is the mindset across various industries. To securely protect IT critical assets that are potentially at risk of external intrusion, we should ensure that they are completely independent from the outside while allowing information to be shared internally. That's where "OWCD" comes in. It physically shuts out signals from the outside! Zero Trust assumes connectivity; ransomware attacks ultimately break passwords—it's just a matter of time. OWCD itself requires no configuration work and can be used simply and clearly. It frees you from maintenance tasks such as router and firewall configuration, patching, and password management. One of the definitions of cybersecurity recognized in Japan, the United States, and Europe can be realized with "OWCD," which enables one-way communication control. This technology is patented by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. There is an explanatory video linked 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 it can also become a pathway for intrusion, making remote maintenance impossible... Some people recommend ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) because VPNs are inadequate, but did you know that this alone does not meet the necessary requirements for recent cyber resilience measures? This is because Zero Trust assumes "connection to external sources." Critical infrastructure requires "isolation from the outside." The solution to address these unmet areas is the "OWCD Remote Maintenance Security Enhancement Solution." Even if something happens to the line, the level of assurance is different. By combining it with Zero Trust security, we can defend in layers, detect unauthorized signals, and take countermeasures and eradication. 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!

The "Predictive Monitoring Solution MTSystem," which prevents equipment and device failures by identifying unusual conditions, is utilized in DX as part of "next-generation maintenance" that monitors the state of operations. However, is it only production equipment that is "different from usual"? Our "MTSystem" applies DX to the monitoring of production processes to enhance true quality control. Since it is based on quality engineering's "Taguchi Method," it may be expected that factories that conduct QC rigorously can utilize it. However, the reality is whether a robust continuous monitoring system is in place... Ultimately, it often comes down to the results of sampling inspections conducted after production. It is anticipated that labor shortages will become more severe in the future. The scope that one person must manage will likely 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 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.
