Are we secure?
Understanding the hidden risks in our utilities,
infrastructure and connected factories.
We are all more vulnerable than we think. Every piece of technology that is part of a Cyber Security program has undoubtedly brought added value over time, but these solutions introduced intrinsic vulnerabilities of their own, while at the same time making us so confident in our own security that we started worrying less.
Understanding the risks
Connected industries enable opportunities, but every connection opportunity, especially if always-on, introduces security threats.
Threats to your utility up-time, threats to your business and dangers to your customers.
Ransomware and Virus
Eavesdropping and unauthorized information sniffing
Unauthorized actions through impersonation
Malware injection through legacy or plug-on devices
Hidden threats or backdoors inside the connected devices
Coordinated DDoS or Cyber Attacks
No door, no vulnerability
What are unidirectional secure gateways?
However, with IIoT4.0, transferring information out from a secured network is unavoidable. How do we send the data without compromising network integrity?
- A Unidirectional Gateway is the optimal solution for high-assurance applications.
-
A Unidirectional Gateway is a hardware device placed between two networks of
different security levels, and controls the flow of information.
Unidirectional Gateways:
the only Cyber Security solution that ensures traffic can only travel in one direction.
Our customizable OT Security solutions
Physical protection for
Asset
Avoid down-time and protect critical equipment by establishing unidirectional communication at OSI layer 1
Subnet
Enable different critical assets to communicate between each other and with upper networks by introducing a physical separation.
System
Allow communication to happen between critical assets or sub-systems and each other up until the cloud. An ultimate Security Solution
Application stories
Substation
Cyber attacks on power systems has made Cyber Security a fundamental engineering issue for SCADA and substation automation. NERC recognizes hardware-enforced unidirectional communication—such as BlackBear solutions—as the right match for strong security.
Factory
IIoT4.0 networks require reliable, secure data links. Although any network is prone to cyber attacks, the Unidirectional Gateway, a hardware-software integrated device, introduces an air gap and a physical block to bi-directional communication.
