The data diode "OWCD" is a boundary restriction device that is currently being re-evaluated.
One-way communication restriction device data diode OWCD
Unusual number of leaks per incident; the damage is escalating due to failures in network design. How about your company? Are you relying solely on Zero Trust?
You’ve been thoroughly beaten down, haven’t you? But if you take a good look at each instance, you might notice that there are places where the actual damage is relatively minor, places that can be described as hopeless, parts of the information being registered, and areas where passwords and rarely used image information have been completely compromised. In networks, there is a method called "boundary control." The difference between companies where this has worked and those where it hasn’t is reflected in the results mentioned above. In other words, it comes down to whether the network design was done well with appropriate capital investment, or whether it was inadequately designed with a mindset of "this will be enough." OWCD physically isolates communication in one direction. There is no backflow. To protect the core, boundary restrictions using OWCD are established at key points. It builds a "zero trust wall" with hardware that breaks through vulnerabilities such as software and various settings, eliminating opportunities for attacks. It is a perfect match for zero trust! It is chosen as the "last bastion" of multi-layered defense. This is a method used in critical infrastructure and core infrastructure, as well as a capital investment. It is OWCD. There is an explanatory video at the related link below! This technology is patented by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.

basic information
While Zero Trust Security is gaining attention, there is a growing misunderstanding that "boundary defense is outdated" and "boundaries are unnecessary." However, Zero Trust is a strong measure against lateral movement and the upgrading of authentication privileges, but its essence is not to "discard the boundary," but rather to "not place trust solely in the boundary." This does not mean that boundaries are unnecessary. On the contrary, boundaries should be "strengthened on the premise of not trusting." A Data Diode is a structure that connects a communication line in one direction only to a circuit that is physically disconnected, completely eliminating reverse pathways. The "OWCD" enforces one-way communication without the need for configuration, making external intrusion impossible at the physical layer. The "OWCD" does not allow any communication to flow in the reverse direction, physically neutralizing attacks. Exploitation of vulnerabilities or attacks via remote accounts are also rendered ineffective, achieving a risk reduction equivalent to network separation. The "one-way communication restriction" that fundamentally cuts off intrusion pathways dramatically enhances safety. There is also a method of use that prevents external access even if it is accidentally inverted. Please contact us via the related link above for inquiries.

Companies cannot survive; you can see that, can't you? It's not that they are doing nothing; they are just overconfident in one thing, saying "XX is old" and "from now on, it's YY." To raise the security level, a gritty network design and boundary restriction devices are essential. Firewalls are also software. It takes considerable effort to withstand vulnerability checks from generative AI. OWCD does not use software for boundary restrictions and has no settings. There are variations depending on the communication content. Please contact us from the related link above.

Applications/Examples of results
Each device can be used anywhere if communication is restricted to one direction between OT and IT, and from IT to the Internet. The most important segment's division point (micro-segmentation). Securing communication in government agencies, data file transfers. Sending production data from OT systems to IT systems in the supply chain. Updating customer-provided information from the database to the web server. Distributing information from the medical database to the insurance claim receipt system. Information dissemination via email (including predictive preventive information). OWCD is essential for critical and core infrastructure. It is utilized by government agencies, power companies, railways, airports, and defense, and its application is expanding to water supply systems, chemical plants, and research institutions. It may be surprising, but companies that are monitored for security remotely have also begun to utilize it. Its use is rapidly expanding. There may be a balance with system usability, but it is being used as the last line of defense for protecting your company's core through multi-layered defense. Please ensure proper network design and utilize OWCD. For inquiries, please refer to the related links above.

This is the OWCD G. It is a flagship product of OWCD that supports a communication bandwidth of 1 Gbps. It can be utilized for various needs that require data diodes. It is ideal for applications built by system integrators. Customized models are also available. Please feel free to consult with us.
-
This is the first product of the data diode "OWCD," the OWCD2. It is a general-purpose model with a communication bandwidth of 100 Mbps. Recently, the communication volume used by everyone has increased, leading to some capacity shortages, but it is still very much in active use for intrusion countermeasures from the Syslog collection route, among other things.

To all those involved in production technology and facility management, are you safely utilizing information about manufacturing equipment and devices? The transmission of information externally is increasing rapidly, such as "visualization of operating conditions," "reporting unusual behaviors," "data transmission to remote managers," and "utilization of AI." If it's only about one-way communication to the outside, we can provide the strongest defense measures. While there are inexpensive systems available at the time of implementation, once operations begin, effort becomes indispensable, and remote handling itself can be risky. Among many such systems, intrusion countermeasures require no effort. They won't interfere with the work of those who are already busy with their primary responsibilities. Such methods exist. Their use is becoming essential in critical and core infrastructure, and it will be difficult to justify not using them. How about it? Would you consider it?
