Privately-owned since 2007, Waterfall Security has focused on protecting critical infrastructure and industrial control systems from remote online cyberattacks, becoming the leading cybersecurity vendor for industrial control systems (ICS) perimeter security. Our innovative, patented Unidirectional Security Gateway enables safe and reliable IT/OT integration, remote monitoring and diagnostics, and advanced cloud services.
Waterfall Security's mission is to revolutionize the way industries protect their physical assets and processes from cyberattacks. Our products are considered as cybersecurity best practices by many regulatory and governmental agencies. Moreover, our unidirectional gateway technology dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of governmental and regulatory compliance with NERC CIP, NRC, NIST, CFATS, ANSSI and other regulations.
Identity & Access Security
Waterfall’s unidirectional technology is not limited to a single direction. Our array of plug-n-play solutions enforce disciplined remote control and remote access for industrial sites working with remote vendors and service providers, 3rd party personnel and unstaffed sites.
IoT Security
CloudConnect acts as an Industrial IoT gateway, collecting data from industrial sources such as historians, industrial control systems, OPC serves and industrial devices then coverting that data into a unified, cloud-friendly format, such as GE WebSockets, Azure IoT and SOAP Web Services. The CloudConnect then transmits the unified data securely out of the site and publishes into the industrial cloud. Unidirectional Gateway technology embedded in the CloudConnect ensures seamless connectivity with both industrial and cloud systems, and provides absolute protection from cloud-based threats.
IPS & IDS Security
Waterfall for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) enables safe monitoring of OT networks. Waterfall for IDS unidirectional hardware emulates OT mirror & SPAN ports to network intrusion sensors on IT networks. With Waterfall for IDS in place, industrial enterprises can confidently host OT sensors on IT networks where the sensors are easily managed and updated by central SOC analysts, without risk to physical operations. Waterfall for IDS is a hardware-enforced, physical barrier that prevents remote attacks, malware, DOS attacks, ransomware and human errors originating on IT networks from compromising or impairing physical operations, while enabling seamless interoperability with intrusion detection system platforms.
Network Security
Waterfall Unidirectional Security Gateways enable safe IT/OT integration, disciplined control, and real-time industrial network monitoring. The gateways replace firewalls in industrial network environments, providing absolute protection to control systems and OT networks from attacks originating on external networks. Unidirectional Security Gateways enable vendor monitoring, industrial cloud services, and visibility into operations for modern enterprises and customers by replicating servers, emulating industrial devices and translating industrial data to cloud formats. As a result, Unidirectional Security Gateways technology represents a plug-and-play replacement for firewalls in industrial environments, without the vulnerabilities and maintenance issues that always accompany firewall depl
