SCADA systems often control extremely sensitive facilities such as nuclear power plants, power stations, national dams and international gas lines. These facilities are high-profile targets for hostile and terror related activity.
It has been clearly proven that sensitive networks which are connected to less sensitive or public networks can never be completely secure: security breaches due to online attacks remain a major risk.
Despite the use of firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention systems there is never a guarantee of full protection against attacks as all software and logic-based solutions are penetrable and vulnerable. |

Waterfall Technology – Unidirectional Connection
Waterfall One-Way™ provides a secure core for unidirectional connectivity, incorporating patent pending technologies. The system implements a physical one-way connection, based on fiber optic communication, using a proprietary transfer protocol, coupled with a powerful content filtering plug-in. A physical unidirectional connection is indifferent to software definitions and malicious codes. It thus protects the sensitive systems behind it from all types of online attacks. The solution is robust, has various mechanisms for ensuring data transfer, including appropriate notification if not all data has passed. |
