With the SDoT Industry Gateway, infodas is forging ahead with its market entry in the Critical Infrastructures. The new SDoT Industry Gateway combines the security level and performance of the military and public sector with the necessary flexibility and straightforward integration into existing industrial environments. The SDoT Industry Gateway enables fully secure and controlled data exchange between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). The wide range of possible applications for the high-performance product includes, for example, the European Train Control System (ETCS), where it will contribute to securing digital communication on train routes in the near future. This means that, in rail transport, internal and external sources such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, signal boxes, sensors and trains can exchange data securely between domains with different safety classification levels, even if bidirectional protocols are used. In the vulnerable healthcare and public safety sector, connected emergency services also benefit from highly secure data communication by using the SDoT Industry Gateway. Also, for the maritime industry, with its IACS cybersecurity requirements UR E26 and UR E27, the infodas product represents a powerful solution as it is based on an enhancement of the architecture of the infodas SDoT Data Diode, which is certified by Bureau Veritas.

Conventional security measures based solely on general IT solutions such as firewalls are no longer sufficient. Managers in Critical Infrastructures and endangered production plants are increasingly exposed to the threat of cyber criminals and are forced to take the appropriate security precautions. By implementing the SDoT Industry Gateway, decision-makers ensure permanent access to business-critical data in near real-time without affecting business continuity. infodas offers a highly powerful product to mitigate the threat of potential cyberattacks and ensures a high profitability with an attractive, turnkey and subscription-based model. By using the SDoT Industry Gateway, infodas supports the fulfilment of industry-specific regulatory requirements such as IEC 62443, NIST and Common Criteria as well as other standards.

"The threats to CRITIS operators are more serious than ever before, and attacks by cyber criminals are increasing rapidly. We highly recommend that companies intensively examine the relevant protective measures and secure their often outdated systems. With the SDoT Industry Gateway, we are offering a further development of our product family, which has been used in the defense sector with great success for many years. In the area of Critical Infrastructures and industrial sectors, however, specific requirements need to be fulfilled. We are therefore very proud to provide more effective protection with our new product in order to respond adequately to the growing threat caused by cyberattacks. The key advantage is that companies can use the security gateway to realize a completely secure and controlled data exchange between different security domains," says Theo Hekhorn, Technical Presales Engineer at INFODAS GmbH.
