How to Utilize OWCD as Remote Maintenance
One-way communication restriction device data diode OWCD series
Important infrastructure OT medical equipment cannot connect to the outside... However, restricting communication in one direction causes problems for remote maintenance. There is a solution.
In the past, Microsoft provided remote desktop software (functionality) for remote control. Based on this, we offer a solution where only specific PCs can access devices on a network protected by a data diode for remote maintenance. This solution is used in conjunction with OWC. Data diodes are provided by multiple manufacturers, but only OWC can propose such solutions. While this technology alone does not solve everything, we will assist in building a system tailored to your usage environment, using this as the core. For more information about OWC, please refer to our company website. There are also video explanations available! For inquiries, please use the related link below.

basic information
OT is a system composed of various production equipment. Access authentication for convenient use, detection of viruses brought in by someone, and boundary control to prevent device takeover are extremely important. Intruders aim to introduce viruses to stop or run equipment out of control, enabling remote operation. If there is no route for this, the targeted damage will not occur. Even with the same boundary control, things like firewalls that require authentication settings can lead to mistakes or forgetfulness. Each time people or systems change, it is necessary to configure settings whenever a virus protection patch is released, and it is uncertain when mistakes will happen... management and costs are challenging, especially in OT. So, what if you want to perform remote maintenance? If you can't maintain from your desk, you have to be on-site. This solution manages the boundary restriction between OT and medical device networks by separating information viewing and operational signals, allowing them to flow separately and blocking access from anyone other than pre-approved users. Restrictions based solely on software will inevitably be breached. This solution, which combines hardware restrictions, is more robust than ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access).
Price information
We accept implementation system engineering (scope, cost, and delivery time are negotiable). The reason we provide solutions is that OWCD is fundamentally based on the premise of limiting the use of communication lines to one-way information transmission. Whether it's OT, medical devices, or experimental equipment, it's best to avoid unnecessary connections to external routes. Under these strong boundary restrictions, it is also a fact that remote maintenance is essential, so it is correct to provide this in addition to the original limitation of communication transmission.

Applications/Examples of results
The data diode "OWCD" is used for: - Medical management systems (one-way control of communication from medical record systems to medical administrative systems) - Traffic information systems (one-way control of communication from control systems to public web servers) - Remote monitoring systems for industrial equipment (intrusion prevention at the data transmission unit) - Measures against backflow from external data file acquisition lines in government agencies (no communication signals are emitted) Additionally, it is utilized in government agencies, power plants, defense systems, research laboratories of manufacturers, and production information transmission points. Standard file transfer, add-on folder transfer, file collection and delivery, and file requests to retrieve necessary files securely between closed spaces are all supported by robust communication software. The multi-layered defense compatible with zero trust is excellent. Please ask your SIer, "Aren't you using data diodes?" Among these, the physical data diode OWCD, which restricts the circuit level to one-way only, will further enhance the safety and security of our customers. In this context, we offer the solution "Remote Maintenance Support." For inquiries, please visit our company website above.
