OWCD for boundary-restricted data diodes in IoT, production management, and healthcare operations.

basic information

The Data Diode is based on the principle of connecting a circuit that is physically disconnected in one direction only. Therefore, there is no way to enter from here. This is referred to as an "air gap" (originally meaning a state of no connection at all, but it can also refer to a situation where there is a physical one-way blockage). In the case of gateways and firewalls, it would be ideal to implement settings that ensure complete separation, but this requires careful consideration and effort to execute accurately. Maintaining this is challenging, especially since these devices themselves have their own issues. With OWCD, since data, commands, and packets cannot flow, external attacks are impossible. Attacks that exploit system vulnerabilities or remote access accounts cannot occur, significantly reducing risks to a level comparable to systems that are completely isolated from the network. Detection-based security measures are not strictly enforced. Encounters with the unknown can take time to address, and many are discovered later. Boundaries must be strictly maintained to be beneficial. This is why OWCD is cited as one of the requirements for cyber resilience measures. For inquiries, please refer to the related links above.

Price information

Consultation Required Our data diodes are offered at a low price that surpasses competitors. While there is an initial investment, it is clearer than the costs associated with unclear cybersecurity, providing a different level of reassurance for management. To the information systems departments, we are here to assist you (we also offer paid engineering services). To the SIers, please contact us for information on how to integrate our proposed systems.

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 or from IT to the Internet. Business systems are fundamentally structured to separate segments. This applies to that. However, recently, it has also been used for connected services such as "remote maintenance" and "log collection from various devices." We have a track record of over 130 units delivered. There are many achievements in remote monitoring of thermal power plants. While I can't discuss specifics, the use of our solutions in critical infrastructure such as government agencies, public institutions, and important departments within companies in industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics 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 unique solutions for cybersecurity provided by SIers is also rapidly increasing! We welcome 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 is 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 is equipped with a bypass circuit for bidirectional communication, complete with a thumb turn key (a less equipped model is also available).
