Data Diode Services

Transforms bi-directional to uni-directional

The Advenica Data Diode Services are software applications that enable transfer of data between digital systems over a data diode.

A data diode service transforms a solution from generic to purpose-built for your specific use case.

Facilitating one-way data flows over data diodes

Advenica Data Diode Services handle the transfer of data between digital systems where the data source and destination are located on different networks, segmented using a data diode.

The services translate between bidirectional protocols, used by most systems and applications, and unidirectional, required for sending data over the data diode.

Each service is built for a particular use case such as file transfer or log export, facilitating integration of a data diode in the target system.

How to use

The services are deployed as applications and can be run standalone together with the Data Diode Engine or on our appliance DD1000i data diode with integrated proxy hardware.

Data transfer: Secure data transfer over UDP or TCP

Transfer data with unspecified type and structure securely between separated networks over one-way data link. Flexible solution for applications using UDP or TCP as transfer protocol.

This service is always included with Data Diode Engine and DD1000i.

Supported protocols: UDP, TCP

File transfer: Secure import or export of files

One-way file transfer between classified or sensitive networks, ensuring confidentiality or integrity and availability.

File sharing between networks of different classifications
Data export from secured networks such as Historian database replication, XML or JSON based data, log data etc.

Supported protocols: SFTP, SMB, NFS

Syslog over UDP/TCP: Secure export of log data

Access to log data from sensitive or classified systems while maintaining air gap protection of the source network.

Export of log data for centralised monitoring
Secure integration of third-party Secure Operations Centre (SOC)

Supported protocols: Syslog over UDP or TCP

Blurred factory with connecting nodes symbolised as different icons

OPC UA: Secure OT to IT integration

One-way communication for applications within industrial automation, process control, energy management or other data-intensive system.

Data export from PLCs, HMIs, SCADA or other systems to less sensitive networks for e.g. centralised monitoring or data analysis
Allow import of data from independent providers to central system

Supported protocols: OPC UA, OPC UA to MQTT (integrated protocol conversion)

Renewable power grid with solar panels and wind turbines

MQTT: Secure IoT & M2M message transfer

Connect sensors, actuators or control systems and maintain integrity and availability of the source networks.

Gather data from remote assets for monitoring or statistics used for e.g. predictive maintenance or other data analytics for production optimisation
Secure machine-to-machine (M2M) communication over MQTT

HTTP(S) transfer: Secure web service requests over HTTP(S)

Send web service requests over HTTP(S) using a one-way data communication link with pre-configured response options.

Submit forms, send data to web services or make API requests with HTTP(S) POST/PUT
Enable system generated requests from secure to less secure network.

Supported protocols: HTTP / HTTP(S)
