Boundary control data diode for IoT in factories and medical operations OWCD.
Data Diode "OWCD"
The most important consideration in business systems (such as factory IoT and medical devices) is the connection with information systems. If it's about cyber attack prevention, this is the first step. Let's block unnecessary communication paths.
Connect factory monitoring IoT to the production control network to actively improve yield, enhance quality, and monitor conditions. Let's aim for the efficiency of expanding healthcare by linking medical devices, electronic medical record systems, and medical administrative systems. However, there are high barriers. In many cases, it is common to completely isolate "business-related devices due to their vulnerability for security reasons." Nowadays, there are increasing cases of using external cloud services to meet detailed needs. To securely protect business networks that are potentially at risk of external intrusion, they should be kept completely independent from the outside while allowing information to be shared internally. However, it is essential to configure routers and firewalls accurately according to the system, and maintenance such as reviewing specifications during changes, applying patches, and managing passwords involves significant effort and cost. Therefore, we recommend the data diode "OWCD." It physically shuts out signals from the outside, making configuration unnecessary and easy to use. We have trial units available. This technology is patented by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. There is an explanatory video at the related link below! For inquiries, please contact us from here.

basic information
The Data Diode is based on the principle of connecting circuits that are physically separated and do not have a cable, allowing for one-way communication only. There are no settings for one-way communication, so it cannot be accessed from here. For more details, please watch the explanatory video on our company website linked below. Most burglaries occur in homes that are not locked. Ensuring that unnecessary external intrusion routes are completely blocked makes a significant difference in safety and security. Gateways and firewalls need to be configured to effectively block access. It requires careful consideration and effort to set them up accurately without mistakes. As long as data, commands, protocols, and packets cannot flow in from the outside, server attacks from external sources are impossible. Attacks exploiting system vulnerabilities or remote access accounts cannot be carried out, significantly reducing risks to a level comparable to a system completely isolated from the network. By using "OWCD" alongside monitoring and anomaly detection for unauthorized USB memory imports and wireless LAN communication vulnerabilities, as well as zero trust measures for information systems, it becomes possible to utilize various information, remote maintenance, system log collection, and more in a detailed manner.

Applications/Examples of results
Each device can be used anywhere if communication is allowed to be regulated in one direction, such as from OT to IT and from IT to the Internet. Business systems are fundamentally structured to segment different segments. It is common to apply this. However, recently, we have also been utilized for services that are not limited to segmentation, such as "remote maintenance" and "log collection from various devices." We have achieved sales of over 130 units to date. We have numerous achievements in remote monitoring of thermal power plants. While I can't go into detail, the use of our solutions for the defense of critical infrastructure in important departments within government agencies, public institutions, and companies in sectors like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics is on the rise. There is also an increasing application of completely separating incoming communications from unspecified sources outside government agencies and outgoing communications to specific destinations, which helps prevent remote operations or unauthorized data exfiltration in case of emergencies. The adoption of our solutions is rapidly increasing as SIers build and provide their own unique solutions! Our company is open to consultations regarding shape modifications and other inquiries for customers considering product integration. Please feel free to contact us about the communication methods and protocols you wish to utilize.
Detailed information
-
This is a 1G-bps compatible model that can be used as a network exit to transmit information from IoT devices such as cameras, edge computing, and production control systems to on-premises servers or cloud services. (10G-bps model is available upon consultation.)
-
The most versatile model in our company's data diode OWCD lineup is the "OWCD2." For customers who find maintenance too inconvenient with only unidirectional communication, this model comes equipped with a bypass circuit for bidirectional communication, complete with a thumb turn key (a less equipped model is also available).
