Owl and Trihedral Launch Secure Data Integration for Critical Infrastructure

Owl Cyber Defense and Trihedral Engineering have integrated VTScada with hardware-enforced data diodes to enable secure one-way data transfer from Operational Technology (OT) to IT systems. This integration addresses the challenge of moving critical operational data without exposing networks to cyber threats. The solution is already in use in major U.S. cities, including Houston and Nashville, enhancing the security of water and wastewater operations. The data diodes ensure that data can only flow one way, eliminating potential return paths for cyberattacks. The integration is compliant with international security standards and supports Zero Trust architectures. This development is significant for critical infrastructure operators who need to maintain operational readiness while mitigating cyber risks.

Key Points: • Owl and Trihedral's integration allows secure one-way data transfer from OT to IT. • The solution is deployed in major U.S. cities like Houston and Nashville. • Data diodes prevent return paths, reducing the risk of cyber exploitation.
