Manufacturing
Cyber attacks, especially ransomware, are a growing threat to manufacturing operations, shutting down hundreds of manufacturing sites every year. Worse consequences are also possible, such as safety systems being impaired, or product quality being targeted.
Waterfall’s Unidirectional Gateways protect the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, automobile, aircraft and other manufacturing industries.
With Waterfall you get
Safe IT/OT Integration
Unidirectional Gateways provide business automation with access to OT / industrial data, without providing attackers or malware access to the industrial systems that are the sources of that data.
Real-time security monitoring
Unidirectional Gateways provide enterprise and out-sourced Security Operations Centers (SOCs) with safe access to industrial network data, so generating utilities can leverage specialized expertise and economies of scale.
Unbreachable Cloud Connectivity
Unidirectional Gateways enable the benefits of cloud and Internet connectivity, without the risks.
Use cases
OT IDS & SOC
The Waterfall for IDS product replicates mirror and SPAN ports to OT IDS sensors on IT networks. Unidirectional Gateways replicate Syslog, SNMP traps and other security monitoring information to enterprise and cloud SOCs. Waterfall makes security monitoring safe and transparent.
Business Automation
Undirectional Gateways replicate historians, databases, OPC servers and more to business networks. Business users and applications use the replicas normally – because all of the data that is allowed to be shared with IT networks is in the replica servers already.
Remote Vendors
Unidirectional Gateways replicate OPC and other servers out to IT networks and to vendor cloud systems so that vendors can diagnose problems and provide expert advice. Vendors use Unidirectional Remote Screen View and Secure Bypass when they need to adjust manufacturing equipment remotely.
Safe Cloud Connectivity
Unidirectional Gateways enable the benefits of cloud and Internet connectivity, without the risks.
Operational Equipment Effectiveness
Unidirectional Gateways safely and unbreachably replicate OEE servers and information to cloud-based systems so that manufacturers can re-arrange manufacturing loads to make maximumally efficient use of costly manufacturing equipment.
