OWCD Multiple Folder Collection and Delivery, Folder Transfer, File Transfer 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 transfer to us.
Cybersecurity requires various mechanisms to counter 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, divided into layers that interact with the outside, layers that are generally important, and layers that require strict management. Measures are necessary for all these layers. Zero Trust, after all, does not prevent the intrusion itself. In this context, when moving data to segments managed at different security levels, we still have to rely on USB drives. Information transfer between these "layers" still commonly utilizes files. Therefore, we have prepared a system that allows files to be transferred only in permitted directions. This will be used together with a device that physically restricts communication to one direction and does not allow 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’s not just about traditional formats like CSV files; there are also markup formats like JSON. While we cannot guarantee synchronization, 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 component. The multi-folder collection and delivery software allows you to set up file transfer relationships in advance. The software regularly checks the source computer, and if there are files in the designated folder, it delivers them to the specified folder on the destination computer. There are also software options that immediately transfer files if a "folder" or "individual file" exists in the specified location. The data diode "OWCD" physically restricts communication to one direction only and does not allow reverse flow. When combined with zero-trust access authentication and virus checks before and after transfer, it provides enhanced security measures. The OWCD itself comes in two models: the OWCD-2 for 100Mbase-T and the OWCD-G for 1000Mbase-T. The effective values may vary depending on communication packet loss measures and the processing capability of your PC. There is also the OWCD-XG for 10Gbase-T, but we will need to confirm your requirements in advance. While the introduction of the OWCD requires initial investment, it represents a significant step in strengthening defenses without incurring operational costs.

Price information
It is not cheap. However, compared to data diodes from other companies, it is reasonable. In this era, where multilayered cybersecurity measures combined with various countermeasures are essential, the emergence of generative AI means that if fully autonomous systems are deployed, they can launch attacks at lightning speed, and by the time you grasp the situation, it may already be breached—this is the reality we face. While there are inconveniences due to the restriction of communication in one direction, it is better than being compromised by malware. It also works exceptionally well with mechanisms like zero trust and virus detection, allowing for more reliable and convenient information sharing.

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 safe data transmission from the equipment side to the IT zone. - Aggregating production information in oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing plants - Visualizing the operational status of entire lines in machine tools, food manufacturing, etc., and collecting information for remote support services - Collecting operational information for equipment asset management. Some customers request database integration. While there are methods involving 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 may seem modest, but it is powerful!
Detailed information
-
File transfer software This is the core software of this page. Based on this, we will add "folder transfer" and "file collection and delivery." Starting with OT to IT, in fact, this combination of software and OWCD-2 is the most commonly used in terms of 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 respond to the need to receive this in a folder and send it all together.
