NEW YORK, August 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Waterfall Security Solutions (Waterfall Security) announced
today the successful deployment of Waterfall's
stronger-than-firewalls Unidirectional Security Gateways at a
leading energy distributor in the Asia-Pacific region, together with Power
Automation (PA), Singapore.
Waterfall Security is the leading provider of Unidirectional
Security Gateways for industrial control networks and critical
industrial infrastructures. PA is a leading systems integrator and
turnkey vendor, providing innovative solutions for Power System
Control and Substation Automation systems.
PA deployed Waterfall's Unidirectional Security Gateways at a
large power distribution company in the region, following on from
high security concerns surrounding the exposure of control system
networks to attacks from the Internet and from within the
enterprise network, in what's usually addressed as an 'insider
threat'.
PA installed Waterfall's Unidirectional Security Gateways to
provide safe and reliable integration between its IT and OT
environments. Waterfall's unique support for OPC-UA was utilized to
facilitate unidirectional data transfer from Siemens' Distribution
Management System (DMS), supplied by PA, to the enterprise network.
The Waterfall for OPC-UA solution provides the customer with
real-time access to live data, without any risk of network attacks
from its enterprise networks or the Internet.
"The installation has greatly improved our customer's business
operations. Not only is the control system now safer and more
secure, business processes that were once cumbersome and
time-consuming are now real-time and automated." Gary Ang, Project Manager, Power Automation.
