Water Treatment

Water and Wastewater treatment systems are critical infrastructures – unplanned outages put the environment and public safety at risk. Worse is possible: sabotaging safety systems can put worker safety at risk, tampering with finished water formulations can dissolve piping and put populations at risk, and tampering with biogas systems can lead to explosions and fires. 

Waterfall’s unidirectional technology protects the OT of water utilities against IT related network threats, enabling secure connectivity to IT and 3rd-party external networks. 

With Waterfall you get

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. 

Safe Security Monitoring

Unidirectional Gateways provide water utilities with safe network and system security monitoring, enabling safe, central and even outsourced security monitoring processes and systems.

Safe OT Cloud Connectivity

Waterfall’s Unidirectional Gateways are also used for unbreachable OT connectivity to the cloud and internet. 

Use cases

Business Automation

Unidirectional Gateways safely replicate historians, OPC servers and other industrial data sources so that hydraulic optimization systems can schedule electric pumps optimally, predictive maintenance systems can order spare parts and schedule work crews optimally, and popuate management dashboards as well as customer and partner billing systems with real-time equipment availability and billing information.

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. 

Regulator Monitoring

Unidirectional Gateways safely provide real-time data to regulators and other third parties about emissions, treatment systems, quality sampling and other systems, without providing those external researchers and authorities with the access to automation systems that might put those systems at risk.

How it works

Connect

An industrial network safely to an IT network

Protect

The industrial network with hardware enforced technology

Replicate
