OWCD File Collection and Delivery, Folder Transfer, File Transfer Communication Software
One-way communication restriction device data diode OWCD series
Information transmission to different security segments via USB? There are more secure methods available. Leave file transfers to us.
Cybersecurity requires various mechanisms to address a range of threats, such as password theft and virus infiltration. One of these threats is unauthorized access. Unauthorized access can be categorized not only from external sources but also from internal ones, dividing into layers that interact with the outside, layers that are normally important, and layers that require strict management. Measures are necessary for all these layers. Zero Trust does not prevent the intrusion itself. In this context, when moving data to segments managed at different security levels, the use of USB is still unavoidable. The transmission of information here still commonly utilizes files. Therefore, we have prepared a system that allows files to be transferred only in permitted directions. This will be used along with a device that physically restricts communication to one direction only, preventing backflow. Since this is a physical measure, there are no settings required for this restriction. It is completely hassle-free. When we talk about files, it includes not only traditional formats like CSV files but also markup formats like JSON. While synchronization cannot be guaranteed, various information linkages are possible. Moreover, it works exceptionally well with systems like Zero Trust and virus detection.

basic information
You can use the file transfer software as a core and add on additional features. One of these, the file collection and distribution software, allows you to use it after setting up the file transfer relationships between the parties in advance. The software regularly checks the source computer, and if there are files in the designated folder, it delivers them to the designated folder of the destination computer. The data diode "OWCD" physically restricts communication to one direction only and does not allow reverse flow. In addition, by combining it with zero trust inspections of each computer and virus checks before and after file transfers, you can implement even greater security measures. The OWCD itself comes in two models: OWCD-2 for 100Mbase-T and OWCD-G for 1000Mbase-T. The effective values may vary depending on communication packet loss measures and the processing capabilities of your PC. There is also an OWCD-XG for 10Gbase-T, but we will need to confirm your requirements in advance. While the introduction of the OWCD requires an initial investment, it represents a significant step towards strengthening defenses without incurring operational costs.

Price information
It is not cheap. However, compared to other companies' data diodes, it is more reasonable. In this era, where layered security measures combining various countermeasure software are essential, the emergence of generative AI means that complete autonomy can lead to rapid attacks, and there are cases where systems can be breached while you are still assessing the situation. While there are inconveniences due to the restriction of communication in one direction, it is regrettable to be breached by malware. It also works exceptionally well with mechanisms like zero trust and virus detection, allowing for more reliable and convenient information sharing. Please make use of it.
Delivery Time
※The OWCD main unit is made to order. The standard delivery time for the basic model is 12 weeks. Please contact us via the related link above.
Applications/Examples of results
- File management and antivirus measures in government offices - Moving valuable data collected from experiments to a personal computer - Transferring data from medical devices to the medical record system - Moving data from PCs handling important information to a data file server - Transferring from a general office network to an externally accessible network Note: The above refers to the image of moving replicated files created from the original data at hand. Even when transferring operational data collected from production equipment and measuring devices in formats like CSV or JSON, this allows for the safe transmission of data from the equipment side to the IT zone. - Aggregation of production information in oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing plants - Visualization of the operational status of entire lines in machine tools and food manufacturing, as well as information gathering for remote support services - Collection of operational information for equipment asset management. Some customers request database integration. While there are options like expensive data diodes or replicators, data diodes cannot achieve time synchronization due to their characteristics, so let's systematize what can be done. There is an increasing number of cases where those considering ransomware countermeasures implement this when organizing network segments. It's understated but powerful!

File transfer software This is the core software of this page. Based on this, "folder transfer" and "file collection and delivery" will be added as add-ons. Starting with OT to IT, in fact, this combination of software and OWCD-2 is the most commonly used for its applications.
-
Folder transfer software When sending information from various equipment, it is often the case that the source processes and outputs the information in batches. We want to receive that in a folder and send it all together. We respond to such needs.
