Manufacturing

Cyberattacks, especially ransomware, are a growing threat to manufacturing operations, shutting down hundreds of manufacturing sites every year. Worse consequences are also possible, such as safety systems being impaired, or product quality being targeted. 

Waterfall’s unidirectional technology protects the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, automobile, aircraft and other manufacturing industries. 

With Waterfall you get

Integration

Secure Remote Access

Waterfall’s HERA® , Hardware-Enforced Remote Access, provides the functionality of remote access, without the inherent risks and threats that come with network connectivity. 

Monitoring

Real-time security monitoring

Unidirectional Gateways provide enterprise and out-sourced Security Operations Centers (SOCs) with safe access to industrial network data, so generating utilities can leverage specialized expertise and economies of scale.

Connect to the cloud need

Unbreachable Cloud Connectivity

Unidirectional Gateways enable the benefits of cloud and Internet connectivity, without the risks.

Use cases

Business Automation

Undirectional Gateways replicate historians, databases, OPC servers and more to business networks. Business users and applications use the replicas normally – because all of the data that is allowed to be shared with IT networks is in the replica servers already.

Remote Access

Hardware Enforced Remote Access (HERA® ) enables remote management, updates, and troubleshooting for OT networks, safely. When software-based secure remote access is too great a risk, HERA® ‘s hardware provides remote functionality without the risks of remote connectivity. 

Remote Vendors

Unidirectional Gateways replicate OPC and other servers out to IT networks and to vendor cloud systems so that vendors can diagnose problems and provide expert advice. Vendors use Unidirectional Remote Screen View and Secure Bypass when they need to adjust manufacturing equipment remotely.

Safe Cloud Connectivity

Unidirectional Gateways enable the benefits of cloud and Internet connectivity, without the risks.

Operational Equipment Effectiveness

Unidirectional Gateways safely and unbreachably replicate OEE servers and information to cloud-based systems so that manufacturers can re-arrange manufacturing loads to make maximumally efficient use of costly manufacturing equipment.

The 2024 Threat Report: Findings and Takeaways For Manufacturers

Manufacturing, vital yet risky, faces a growing threat: criminal ransomware. Waterfall Security Solutions' 2024 Threat Report reveals a spike in ransomware attacks, causing severe disruptions in the industrial sector. Over half of the 68 recorded attacks in 2023 targeted manufacturing, resulting in costly shutdowns. With incidents nearly doubling yearly, plant operations will continue to see more downtime. However, the report also highlights key areas for improving OT cybersecurity, building resilience, and maintaining competitive operations....
