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 and cut off 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 is also used when physically restricted in one direction). In the case of gateways and firewalls, it would be ideal to implement settings that ensure complete separation, but it requires considerable effort to do so accurately and without mistakes. Maintaining that is... OWCD is unrelated to those settings. Moreover, these devices themselves have challenges; since data, commands, and packets cannot flow in an OWCD, external attacks are impossible. Attacks exploiting system vulnerabilities or remote access accounts are also not feasible, significantly reducing risks to a level comparable to systems completely isolated from the network. There are no detection-based security measures that are strictly adhered to. Encounters with the unknown take time to address, and they are often discovered later. Boundaries are only beneficial when they are strictly maintained. This is why OWCD is properly listed as a requirement for cyber resilience measures.

Price information

Consultation Required We offer data diodes at a low price that surpasses competitors. Utilizing data diodes involves unique communication methods, so there is an initial investment; however, the costs are clearer and do not incur ongoing expenses like those associated with unclear cybersecurity, providing a different level of reassurance for management. To information systems departments, we are here to assist you (we also offer paid engineering services). To system integrators, please inquire about how to integrate our proposed systems.

Applications/Examples of results

Business systems are fundamentally structured to segment different components. This can be applied there. If communication can be controlled in one direction for each device, such as between OT and IT, or IT and the Internet, it can be used anywhere. Recently, it has also been utilized for integrated services such as "remote maintenance" and "log collection from various devices." We have delivered over 130 units to date. 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 within government agencies, public institutions, and important departments of companies in sectors like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics is steadily increasing. There is also a growing trend to completely separate 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 use of our solutions is also rapidly increasing through unique cybersecurity solutions provided by system integrators! For customers considering product integration, we are open to consultations regarding shape modifications and other inquiries.

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 comes equipped with a bypass circuit for bidirectional communication, complete with a thumb turn key (a less equipped model is also available).
