Waterfall Security Solutions provides an impenetrable solution to the threats of on-line attacks and data leakage that are inherent in network connectivity. Waterfall’s unidirectional technology protects systems from the dangers in the use of widespread communication protocols such as TCP/IP. The key to Waterfall’s solution is Waterfall One-Way™, a successful combination of sophisticated software agents, impenetrable hardware components and an underlying proprietary transfer protocol.

Waterfall’s solution is comprised of two core hardware components, a transmitter and a receiver (TX and RX). The fiber optic connection between these components is such that the TX is physically capable of transmitting only to the RX and the RX is only physically capable of receiving data from the TX. These physical attributes enforce complete unidirectionality without even a theoretical possibility of remote manipulation of the system. The Waterfall agent (Native Data Consumer) connects the Sending Network with the TX component. This software component communicates with the network, converts data to the proprietary Waterfall protocol and transfers it to the TX component. Data is then transmitted through the unidirectional link to the RX component and forwarded to the second agent (Native Data Provider), which converts the data back from the Waterfall protocol to the original communication protocol. At this point data is transmitted to the Receiver Network. The solution enables 100 Mbps communication.

The software agent is extremely flexible and easily adaptable, enabling the system to transfer a wide range of applications and protocols including custom applications. Its advanced monitoring and control capabilities coupled with the physical attributes of the system provide link quality which is all but transparent to users.

As an additional layer of security Waterfall provides WF-TCE (Trusted Content Enabler), a powerful content filtering plug-in.

This highly efficient system is easily deployed and provides complete security against on-line attacks and data leakage.
