Preventing the Syslog collection circuit from being used by malware: Conditions for Zero Trust.
Data Diode "OWCD"
The compatibility of Zero Trust and data diodes is outstanding! The number of adoption cases is steadily increasing. Let's make visible progress in secure measures!
Zero Trust is fundamentally about "not trusting," but since the premise is "connecting," there is the challenge of "how to connect under the premise of not connecting." This is where the data diode "OWCD" comes into play! When connecting operational technology (OT) networks, such as those in factories and power plants, to external networks (IT), the demand for "sending data securely via one-way communication" is increasing, leading to a rise in the adoption of OWCD. Today, we will discuss "secure transfer of Syslog" within this context. To realize Zero Trust, it is essential to continuously collect and analyze logs and monitoring data from each device, but if that system management information cannot be sent to infrastructure engineers, it becomes nearly impossible to conduct detailed analysis. Once breached, the consequences can be catastrophic... OWCD is perfect for a route that simply sends logs and monitoring data to SIEM. It only allows one-way flow. The adoption by infrastructure engineers is rapidly increasing. It is indispensable for support services. For system integrators, if you want to promote cybersecurity, let's effectively utilize boundary control as well. There is a video explanation linked below! Feel free to reach out for inquiries.

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 in only one direction. There are no settings required for one-way communication, so there is no possibility of reverse flow. For connectionless scenarios like Syslog (where having a connection can be problematic), you simply place this physical boundary device between the collection device and the source. No configuration is needed for the Data Diode. Since there are no configuration tasks typically associated with routers and firewalls, operational management is straightforward. There is no concern about settings or passwords being compromised. Additionally, it will never respond to any incoming requests, which is strictly prohibited in mirroring. While monitoring is essential in case something happens, constant monitoring means that if there is no need for incoming data, the incoming side can be closed off, limiting the flow to outgoing data. This boundary control is beneficial. For companies providing infrastructure engineering, how they regulate themselves offers a significant advantage in ensuring the peace of mind of their clients. If there is no need to keep a connection open on the client side, physically disconnecting it can build trust and allow focus on SIEM activities.

Price information
This is part of a zero trust approach. It is a step towards a strategic investment, not just hardware. While there will be initial investment costs, they are clearer than the costs associated with unclear cybersecurity, providing a different level of reassurance for executives. For companies that provide infrastructure engineering, this investment will greatly help improve customer trust. Shall we start by sending logs through one-way communication? The 'symbol of reassurance' and the visual and physical sense of security will resonate with management as well.

Applications/Examples of results
Mirroring communication signals from a switching hub for monitoring is simply 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 between OT and IT, and IT and infrastructure services. The OWCD itself has a sales record of over 130 units. It has numerous achievements in remote monitoring of thermal power plants. Although I can't discuss specifics, its use is increasing in critical infrastructure within government agencies, public institutions, and important departments of companies in sectors like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics (such as critical infrastructure and research facilities). There is also a growing trend of using it to completely separate incoming communications from unspecified sources outside government agencies and outgoing communications to specific destinations, preventing remote operations or unauthorized data exfiltration in case of emergencies. The utilization of our unique cybersecurity solutions by SIers is also rapidly increasing!
