Watch NowOne-Way Transfer by Design
A data diode is a hardware-enforced device that allows data to move in one direction only, creating high-assurance segmentation between networks of differing trust levels. Unlike firewalls or software gateways, it reduces exposure by eliminating the conditions that enable backchannels and bidirectional flow. In critical environments where IT, OT, and cloud intersect, unidirectional flow is a resilience mandate.
Hardware-Enforced Segmentation
True one-way communication governed by the laws of physics, removing the return path and reducing backchannel access risk into critical networks.
Built for OT and IT Integration
Support for industrial and enterprise protocols plus integration into monitoring and analytics workflows, including tools like Splunk and AVEVA PI.
Resilience and Assurance
High-availability options, regulatory-ready certifications (for example EAL4+ and C1D2), and 24x7 support for mission-critical operations.
