The pandemic has digital consequences as well, for both enterprise networks and OT networks.

To operate efficiently, industrial operations nearly always must share data with enterprise and customer systems, and - just as in a global pandemic - the risks and consequences of such contact through cyber connections must be weighed very carefully.

What if there were a vaccine for the cyber pandemic? What if there were a vaccine that could prevent OT attacks and the OT ransomware that has shut down hundreds of industrial sites in 2020? Targeted ransomware is one of today's biggest and nastiest cyber threats.

Today's hardware-enforced unidirectional gateways stop targeted ransomware and other targeted, remote-control attacks from reaching into industrial networks.

Unidirectional hardware prevents attacks from entering industrial networks, while unidirectional gateway software makes copies of databases and other servers from industrial networks to external networks.
