What is BlackBear Intelligent Gateway?
- A military-grade Cyber Security solution
- Enables unidirectional communication through a physical barrier by applying a data diode, while providing the extra intelligence needed to transfer information that requires a request-response pattern.
- Allows data or media to flow from the Industrial Automation Control System (IACS, or OT) to the IT, Cloud, or enterprise network for all systems that require the highest degree of protection.
- Employs a Zero-Trust approach, utilizing content inspection to allow only validated information to pass.
- Provides horizontal and vertical contamination protection.

We protect from outside dangers
We protect assets, subnets, or systems
from any cyber attack or ransomware
originated upstream, no matter if it’s
your IT, the Internet or Cloud.
We protect from inside dangers
Through our patented technology, our
solutions block hidden or intentional
threats originating from the IACS/OT
side, which may spread both horizontally
in the operations or vertically to the IT side.
We protect from new threats
Leveraging our Zero-Trust approach, our
technology protects you against all those
viruses, ransomware, or threats that do
not exist yet, without any need to update.
We inform you when
something’s wrong
Our patented technology not only blocks
threats through the FPGA, but also forwards
complete invalid packets to your SOC
(secure operation center) for analysis.
We deliver last-mile security
By supporting robust VPN and MACsec
encryption, we add an additional layer of
last-mile security to all communications
originating from our solutions upstream.
