The Industrial Internet and modern cloud services promise efficiencies that will revolutionize industrial operations. These benefits however, demand connections from even the very lowest and most sensitive levels of OT networks, straight  out to Internet-based cloud services. Such connections represent opportunities for attacks to pivot through cloud services, back into industrial targets. This is unacceptable.​

Waterfall’s Unidirectional Cloud Gateway provides physical, hardware-based protection for OT networks – even those networks connecting to IT-based or Internet-based Security Operations Centers (SOCs), Internet-based industrial cloud services, and Industrial Internet of Things services. The Unidirectional Cloud Gateway enables cloud-based efficiencies, while absolutely preventing remote attacks from penetrating back into protected industrial networks.​
