Protect your manufacturing business

Advenica’s Secure Machine Connection combines an always open, physically guaranteed, one-way connection from the equipment with a secure two-way remote access point fully controlled by the manufacturer. The attack surface and exposure is truly minimized with this solution, providing a new level of security, while enabling the digital services expected in Industry 4.0.

The Problem:

Manufacturing is an industry constantly exposed to cybersecurity attacks*. Malicious content or hacker attacks can exploit the integrity in either direction and cause immense damage to your business.

The Solution:

Advenica’s Secure Machine Connection protects manufacturing businesses by combining ad-hoc access for two-way data flow with a hardware-secured and impenetrable one-way data flow that sends equipment data to any desired location.

We knew we needed to find a secure solution for our site, since constant cyber attacks are a reality. We’re very pleased we chose Advenica’s secure machine connection so we can now sleep easier at night knowing our production is protected.”

Solution Overview

The solution consists of two separated connections where one is always open (unidirectional), while the other is only available on request (bidirectional).

Connection 1:
Advenica data diode protected unidirectional link. Enables monitoring and analysis in a safe way.

Connection 2:
Remote Access bidirectional link opened by request from site only during remote support needs.

A complete solution

A typical solution consists of a hardware data diode, e.g., Advenica DD1G, and a Remote Access Device. Depending on the environment the Advenica Data Diode Engine proxy software is used in connection to the hardware data diode.

This bundle enables a steady access and stream of production data. The connection is not possible to exploit as only the defined data is sent through the data diode and it is impossible to send data in the wrong direction, therefore it is not possible to access the machine equipment remotely this way. For a secure remote access connection, the Remote Access Device is required.
