Industry awareness of Unidirectional Security Gateways has
taken off, and we’ve been flooded with inquiries and demo requests. Critical
infrastructure sites around the world are recognizing the need to deploy
stronger, hardware-enforced perimeter protections as an industry best practice
in order to ward off today’s evolving targeted persistent attacks (TPAs). Our
conversations with existing customers and prospects led to the development of
new applications leveraging the technology.
In late-2013, we unveiled the Waterfall
for Bulk Electric System (BES) Control Centers, which protects two-way
communications with BES Control Centers, such as power grid Balancing
Authorities and Reliability Coordinators. We also announced the Waterfall FLIP,
which allows the user to temporarily flip the direction of a Unidirectional
Security Gateway to send communications back into a protected control system
network. Our latest enhancement to these technologies is the just-announced Application
Data Control, which adds a new layer of security in the management of
application layer data by applying rules, policies and verification tests to
application data flowing between IT business networks on OT industrial
networks. The solution addresses the risks of both data exfiltration attacks
and targeted, cybersabotage attacks against industrial networks.
We look forward to a busy and productive 2015, with plans to
expand into new verticals and regions. As attack tactics continue to evolve,
Waterfall will continue to deliver stronger-than-firewalls solutions to
critical infrastructures to enable the safe and continuous operation of control
system networks.
