The OPC UA OWCD, which is being utilized in manufacturing sites, is beneficial for strengthening intrusion prevention measures from the office for each production line. Let's protect our important production equipment!
One-way communication restriction device data diode "OWCD" now supports "OPC UA communication"! OPC UA is highly flexible and platform-independent, allowing for seamless communication of various information, enabling connectivity benefits throughout the entire production process. By utilizing flags categorized by industry, unified information can be obtained even from different production equipment manufacturers, contributing to the improvement of production DX. It is expected to continue spreading towards the standardization of industrial communication technologies. While OPC UA can implement security measures such as encryption, connecting networks across segments can create security holes. This is where "OWCD" comes into play. Even with the use of firewalls and switches, maintenance can be cumbersome, and mistakes can occur, especially if outdated firmware prevents passage. The "OPC UA support" of OWCD does not require configuration for one-way communication. It is hassle-free and reliable. In the current situation where multi-layered defense is required against ransomware, we respond to production equipment security needs such as micro-segmentation. There is an explanatory video at the related link below! Please also make use of the "Contact Us" section at the link.

basic information
Why is OWCD necessary even though the protocol has enhanced security measures? Malware infiltrates networks unnoticed, conducts reconnaissance, and leaks various information to external malicious actors. After assessing the overall situation, it launches a coordinated full-scale attack. To minimize the damage from this, micro-segmentation, which involves breaking down production management information and other normally communicated lines into smaller segments at the production line and PLC unit level, is effective. If the line is for issuing production management information, there is no need for external connections. However, Ethernet used in IT is a bidirectional standard for exchanging control signals, so the circuits are connected bidirectionally. This is where OWCD comes into play. It physically restricts the line to one direction and completely shuts out reverse flow. It is used in conjunction with devices that convert/decode communication for passing through the OPC UA protocol. If ransomware measures are not properly implemented between production equipment and OT=IT, it can now expand to the entire factory and supply chain. OWCD "OPC-UA compatible" is unrelated to the "communication model"; it simply flows your existing data from right to left. We will respond to the future security needs of critical infrastructure and various production facilities!
Price information
Ransomware damage can lead to a crisis of business collapse. Some advocate for "Zero Trust: Don't Trust" measures, but since OWCD physically restricts circuits in one direction, it is completely free from configuration errors, making it a perfect Zero Trust solution. In fact, they are very compatible. For those considering digital transformation (DX), if you do not prioritize network design as a security measure, costs will increase later. A little extra effort and ingenuity may drastically change your future security costs for customers. Please use the "Contact Us" link above.

Applications/Examples of results
In industrial networks, you can use OT⇒IT data integration. It can be applied anywhere as long as communication is strictly segmented and limited to one direction. Many are utilizing it in such environments. For customers who are still unsure about OPC UA, please feel free to consult us regarding future communication protocol changes. Just between us, if your PLC is not the latest or your receiving server does not support OPC, we also offer a "File Secure Link" that collects and distributes files such as CSV, JSON, and binary. We will also handle protocol conversion. We also provide engineering services regarding application methods, including network design. Conversely, for customers who are unable to even conduct a PoC due to being constrained by a "communication model," we are here to assist. OWCD does not involve a "communication model," but we can discuss how to proceed. OWCD is also adopted by government agencies, transportation systems such as railways and airports, and research laboratories. It serves as a physical safeguard to protect the core of multi-layered defense. Please reach out through the "Contact Us" link above.
