Protecting sensitive information such as financial records and privacy related data is the primary concern of organizational networks. This applies to banks, insurance companies, credit card companies and other enterprises.

An organizational network that is connected to external sources can never be completely secure. Security breaches due to hacking and industrial espionage always remain an operational risk. Non-segregated networks are exposed to on-line attacks and data leakage. These threats prevent organizations from connecting IP-surveillance sensors (e.g. cameras) to organizational networks because access to these sensors can allow penetration into the secure environment. Organizations are thus required to maintain two separate IT infrastructures, resulting in unnecessary inefficiency.

Waterfall’s solution is comprised of a unidirectional hardware core, which is completely immune to remote manipulation. Coupled with an underlying proprietary transfer protocol, these features provide users with an unparalleled level of security that completely eliminates threats of on-line attacks and data leakage. This cost effective solution, designed in concert with Basel II, enables safe connectivity between the organizational network and external sources. It also allows the IP-surveillance network to safely connect to the general IT infrastructure.
