OPC for Air Gapped Networks

OPC is widely used in OT environments as an essential tool for operational data, messages, errors and warning collection and management.
New Cyber threats are focused on OT resources aiming to cause damage or demand ransom. Security experts recommend segmenting OT networks wherever needed to reduce the attack surface attackers face.

Terafence manufactures Cyber Security hardware products to allow security architects the freedom in segmenting their networks as needed.
Terafence OPC Solution keeps a galvanic network separation at the physical network layer and denies any attempt to reach the secured side, just like a data-diode, by a Terafence designed hardware chip.

Terafence OPC Solution enables safely forwarding OPC data without any risk or exposure to outside Cyber threats, within an All-In-One compact desktop unit connected to both networks. The unit maintains a galvanic Air-Gap while forwarding OPC TAGs at 1Gbps from the secure side to the less secured side.

Key Features

  • Total galvanic network separation
