OWCD, a necessary boundary-restricted data diode for IoT, production management, and healthcare.

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 called an "air gap" (originally referring to a state with 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... the OWCD is unrelated to those settings. Moreover, the devices themselves have security issues; since data, commands, and packets cannot flow in an OWCD, external attacks are impossible. Attacks exploiting system vulnerabilities or remote access accounts cannot occur, significantly reducing risks to a level comparable to a system completely isolated from the network. There are no detection-type security measures in place, as they are strictly adhered to. Encounters with the unknown take time to address, and they are often discovered later. The boundary must be strictly maintained to be beneficial. This is why the OWCD is cited as a requirement for cyber resilience measures. For inquiries, please refer to the related link above.

Price information

Consultation Required We offer a lineup of data diodes at a low price that surpasses other companies. While utilizing data diodes involves unique communication methods, there is indeed an initial investment. However, this is clearer and does not incur ongoing costs like the often unclear cybersecurity expenses, providing a different level of reassurance for business owners. To the information systems departments, we are here to assist you (we also offer paid engineering services). To SIers, please contact us for methods to integrate into your proposed systems.

Applications/Examples of results

Business systems are fundamentally structured to segment different components. We apply this concept accordingly. If communication can be controlled in one direction between each device, such as from OT to IT or from IT to the Internet, it can be used anywhere. Recently, it has also been utilized in conjunction with services like "remote maintenance" and "log collection from various devices." We have delivered over 130 units to date, with numerous 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 such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics is steadily increasing. There is also a growing trend of completely separating incoming communications from unspecified sources outside government agencies and outgoing communications to specific destinations, which helps prevent takeover remote operations and unauthorized data exfiltration in case of emergencies. The use of our solutions is also rapidly increasing through unique cybersecurity solutions provided by system integrators! We welcome inquiries regarding modifications to product designs for customers considering product integration.

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).
