Waterfall for IDS
Waterfall for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) enables IT networks to safely monitor OT systems to detect intrusion attempts by preventing the risk of anything going back into the OT networks via the IDS.
Waterfall for IDS is a hardware-enforced, physical barrier that ensures data can only flow in one direction that prevents remote attacks, malware, DOS attacks, ransomware and human errors originating on external networks.
How it works
Connect
An OT network safely to IT-resident OT IDS sensors
Monitor
The OT network accurately through the unidirectional hardware
Manage
OT IDS sensors conveniently on IT network without risk to operations
Benefits
Safe intrusion detection
Enables monitoring of OT networks without introducing new connectivity risks to the monitored networks
No new hosts
All functions in gate array logic, with no hosts introduced to IT or OT network
Easy management
Network sensors can be deployed on IT networks for easy management by SOC analysts, without risk to OT networks
Eliminates bidirectional mirror port risks
Mirror ports are no longer a risk to OT networks when OT IDS sensors are deployed on IT networks
Seamless integration with SOCs
Supports stand-alone operations
and integration with industry-leading SIEM/SOC solutions
Unbreachable physical barrier
Hardware-enforced technology protects OT networks absolutely from cyber attacks pivoting through OT IDS sensors
Features
Simple hardware-only design with no CPUs to manage
1Gbps copper connectivity
Front panel cabinet connections for clear unidirectionality
Mirror port accurately emulated to IT-resident OT IDS sensors
Optional flow statistics reported to SIEM / SOC / NOC
