OWCD for boundary control data diodes in IoT, production management, and healthcare operations.
Data Diode "OWCD"
Connecting IoT-based business networks that handle production equipment and medical devices with general administrative systems requires careful consideration; this is the first step in cybersecurity measures.
- Connect factory monitoring IoT to the production control network to actively improve yield, enhance quality, and conduct condition monitoring. - By linking medical devices, electronic medical record systems, and medical administrative systems, let's aim for the continuous expansion of healthcare efficiency. However, there are high barriers to this. In many cases, it is common to completely isolate "IoT-based devices due to security vulnerabilities." To securely protect critical IT assets that are potentially at risk of external intrusion, it is essential to keep them completely independent from the outside while allowing information to be transmitted internally. If communication can be restricted to one direction from the inside, the level of security will increase. In this context, we recommend the data diode "OWCD." It physically shuts out signals from the outside, making setup unnecessary and straightforward to use. It enables one-way communication control, which is recognized as a measure of cyber resilience defined in Japan, the United States, and Europe. Moreover, it frees you from maintenance tasks such as router and firewall configuration, patching, and password management. This technology is patented by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.

basic information
The Data Diode is based on the principle of connecting circuits that are physically separated and have no cable connection in only one direction. There are no settings for one-way communication, so it cannot be accessed from here. Burglars typically target homes that are not locked. Ensuring that unnecessary routes are completely blocked makes a significant difference in safety and security. Gateways and firewalls need to have settings that effectively block access. It takes effort to think accurately and set them up without mistakes. Since data, commands, protocols, and packets cannot flow, external server attacks are impossible. Attacks exploiting system vulnerabilities or remote access accounts are also not feasible, greatly reducing risks to a level comparable to systems that are isolated from the network. Detection-based security measures are not strictly enforced. They are often ineffective when encountering the unknown and may only be discovered later. The boundary must be strictly maintained for the benefits to increase. This is one of the reasons cited for the requirements of cyber resilience measures.

Applications/Examples of results
Each device can be used anywhere if communication is allowed to be controlled in one direction, such as from OT to IT and from IT to the Internet. Business systems are fundamentally structured to separate segments. This applies to that. However, recently, we have also been utilized for services that are not limited to segment separation, such as "remote maintenance" and "log collection from various devices." We have a sales record of over 130 units. There are numerous achievements in remote monitoring of thermal power plants. While I can't discuss specifics, the use of our solutions in critical infrastructure, such as important departments within government agencies, public institutions, and companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and ceramics sectors, is increasing. There is also a growing trend to completely separate incoming communications from unspecified sources outside government agencies and outgoing communications to specific destinations to prevent remote operations or unauthorized data exfiltration in case of emergencies. The use of our solutions in the provision of unique cybersecurity solutions by SIers is also rapidly increasing! We are accepting inquiries regarding shape modifications and other considerations for customers looking to embed our products.

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 available upon request.)
-
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).
