MetaDefender Unidirectional Security Gateway

Secure One-Way OT/IT Communication

MetaDefender Unidirectional Security Gateway protects OT/IT communication through one-way data transfer. It allows organizations to access real-time OT data while reducing the risk of threats moving back into critical production environments. In addition, the solution supports assured payload delivery and helps prevent data loss during transfer.

Key Features and Benefits

The gateway enforces one-way communication through a non-networked serial connection between the USG server pair. As a result, it removes the return path to the OT network. The platform also helps reduce overflow, retransmissions, and synchronization issues. Moreover, it deploys quickly because OPSWAT provides it as a preconfigured platform.

The solution helps protect SCADA systems, DCS, HMIs, PLCs, historians, and other industrial assets. It also supports seamless integration with MetaDefender Kiosk and Managed File Transfer, which helps organizations move files and updates more securely.

Protocol Support for Industrial Environments

The platform supports industrial protocols such as Modbus, OPC, MQTT, IEC104, DNP3, AVEVA PI historian, and ICCP. It also supports IT and monitoring protocols including TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, SYSLOG, SNMP traps, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SMB, and CIFS. Therefore, it fits a wide range of OT monitoring, logging, and file transfer use cases.

Hardware and Performance Specifications

This gateway includes redundant power supply, rack-mount hardware, and enterprise-ready performance. The base platform supports 100 Mbps and can be upgraded to 1 Gbps. In larger environments, OPSWAT also offers a 10 Gbps option on enterprise servers. In addition, organizations can deploy a second USG in active/standby mode for high availability.

Why Organizations Choose This OT Security Gateway

Critical infrastructure operators need strong separation between OT and IT networks. This solution provides that separation through secure one-way communication and reliable delivery. At the same time, it keeps deployment and operation simple, which makes it a practical option for industrial cybersecurity programs.
