IN LOGS WE TRUST

What do you do after an attack when you need to know what happened? How can you recover from a cyber attack if you can’t trust your information? Modern cyber attackers routinely erase or compromise logs to hide evidence of wrong-doing. All network repositories, including central SOCs and cloud backups, can be accessed and so can be breached. The Waterfall BlackBox provides a tamper-proof online repository which can survive a cyber attack, and prevents attackers from covering their tracks.

THEORY OF OPERATION

Inside Waterfall’s BlackBox is a high speed, high capacity logging and analysis system able to record attack  information, attempted changes, manipulation of records and abnormal logging and recording conditions.  When necessary, data can be retrieved and inspected securely by physically accessing the BlackBox appliance via the Secure Data Access port. 

Unidirectional Gateway technology contains both hardware and software components. The hardware  components include a TX side, containing a fiber-optic transmitter/ laser, and an RX side, containing an  optical receiver, but no laser. The gateway hardware can transmit information from a signaling system  network to the BlackBox data manager, but is physically incapable of sending any status, feedback or any  signal at all back to an attacker who might seek to subvert the recording system.
