Modern critical infrastructure is increasingly reliant on connected systems, data visibility, and remote access. Unfortunately, these connections create additional threat vectors, exposing the OT network to risk. Similar to that of the U.S. Government, critical infrastructure requirements are continuing to evolve and increase in complexity. Traditional methods, like firewalls, simply do not provide the protection required by critical infrastructure today. For decades, the U.S. Government has deployed cross domain solutions (CDS) to protect secure networks and now critical infrastructure can deploy cross domain solutions (traditionally only sold to defense and intelligence agencies) to meet complex, evolving use cases. As the pinnacle of boundary security devices, a cross domain solution (CDS) transcends the traditional OT security paradigm with content inspection beyond next-generation firewalls, the hardware-enforced segmentation of data diodes, and the advanced data filtering engine of a software guard - all in one powerful device.
Join Owl Cyber Defense experts Mark Toussaint, Product Manager - Applications; Shawn Campbell, Principal Product Manager of Government Solutions; and Scott Coleman, VP of Marketing, as they discuss U.S. Government best practices for securing one-way and bidirectional data transfers and how cross domain security translates into critical infrastructure today.
