Preventing the use of syslog collection circuits by malware: A prerequisite for SOC collaboration.
One-way communication restriction device data diode "OWCD"
SOC services must absolutely not be a pathway for malware intrusion. The number of case studies adopting malware countermeasures is steadily increasing.
EDR = "micro monitoring" of terminals, SIEM = "macro monitoring" of the entire organization, and SOC = a "team of people (command center)" that monitors, analyzes, and responds 24/365 using those tools. The issue is the "people" who monitor, analyze, and respond 24/365. To achieve zero trust, it is essential to continuously collect and analyze logs and monitoring data from each device, but if the information for system management cannot be sent to infrastructure engineers, it becomes hopeless to conduct detailed analysis. Therefore, it is a natural progression to outsource to external specialized services. However, there is no difference in connecting to external services, and the question remains on how to implement intrusion prevention. If an intrusion occurs from here, it could lead to catastrophic consequences... This is where the data diode "OWCD," which can restrict data transmission to one direction only, comes into play! OWCD is perfect for collecting mirroring data sent to external SOC specialized services and for sending logs from OT to SIEM. The adoption by infrastructure engineers is rapidly increasing. It has become indispensable for support services. To all SIers, if you want to promote cybersecurity, let's effectively utilize boundary control as well. There is an explanatory video linked below!

basic information
The Data Diode is based on the principle of connecting circuits that are physically separated without any cable connection, allowing data to flow only in one direction. Therefore, there is no possibility of reverse flow. There are no settings required for one-way communication. For Syslog, which is connectionless, you simply place this physical boundary device between the collector and the system. No configuration is needed for the OWCD. There is no setup work typically associated with routers or firewalls, making operational management simple. There is also no concern about settings or passwords being compromised. Additionally, it will never respond to any incoming requests, which is strictly prohibited in mirroring. The boundary control that keeps the monitoring line constantly connected while closing off the receiving side to limit transmission cannot be replicated in a zero-trust environment. For companies providing infrastructure engineering, how they govern themselves offers a significant advantage in ensuring the peace of mind of their clients. If there is no need to connect lines on the customer side, trust can be gained by physically disconnecting, allowing focus on SIEM activities. This is also extremely convenient for IT departments monitoring OT, as management becomes clearer. For inquiries, please refer to the related links above.
Price information
Data diodes, which have the image of being "expensive," would incur tremendous costs if attempted with other companies' products, but that's not the case with OWCD. The simplicity is incomparable to various settings and VLAN construction. While there is an initial investment, it is much clearer than the costs arising from unclear software and configuration security, providing a significantly higher level of reassurance for management. For SIers providing infrastructure engineering, this investment greatly contributes to enhancing customer trust. The "symbol of reassurance" offers visual and physical comfort, which resonates with management as well.

Applications/Examples of results
Mirroring communication signals from a switching hub for monitoring is truly just about connecting the OWCD to the circuit. No special routing settings are required. It has been adopted by many companies. Furthermore, if you can limit communication in one direction for each device, such as manufacturing equipment and medical devices, it can be used anywhere, including between OT and IT, and IT and infrastructure services. This usage not only prevents intrusion but also completely separates incoming communications from unspecified sources outside the company and outgoing communications to specific destinations, thereby preventing remote operations or unauthorized data exfiltration by intruders in case of emergencies. The OWCD itself has a sales record of over 150 units and has numerous achievements in remote monitoring of thermal power plants. While I can't discuss it in detail, its utilization in critical infrastructure, such as important departments within government agencies, public institutions, transportation, and companies in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics, is on the rise. Among these, its use in SIEM activities is accelerating rapidly. The utilization of unique cybersecurity solutions provided by SIer companies is also increasing rapidly!
