Data Diodes
Data Diodes for Critical Infrastructure
Data Diodes are one-way information transfer devices that connect two networks of the same or different security levels.
Many networks require extra protection against manipulation and data leakage as they contain classified, sensitive information or operational technology controlling critical infrastructure. Data diode can ensure security of networks & unidirectional flow of traffic.
Optical Network Separation
Where air gapping isn’t an option but security is critical RSN Solutions deploy Advenica Data Diodes.
Data Diodes, not only to prevent intrusion and maintain network integrity but to also effectively prevent data leakage while maintaining network confidentiality. This provides a high assurance solution that safeguards assets for operators with ICS/SCADA control systems, defence applications and use cases in all critical industries.
Advenica’s Data Diodes provide confidentiality for classified networks and systems, and integrity for Industrial Control Systems.
Typical use cases include:
- Media streaming or CCTV monitoring
- Data transfer from ICS/SCADA networks to IT networks
- File transfer for data storage replication or software updates
- Secure log collection to administrative or audit network
- Sensor data transfer from lower classified network to higher classified network

Data Diode - DD1G Series
DD1G series are pure hardware based data diodes with optical separation to assure unidirectional data flow. DD1G series offer high performance and secure data transfer for Ethernet Layer 2 and because of their extremely compact size, are ideal in tight locations such as in wind farms, solar arrays and remote locations.
The DD1G series offers full 1 Gbps data throughput. The series includes stand alone devices and DIN rail mounted devices. The DD1G series works on Ethernet Layer 2. All network data on the upstream network will be automatically transferred to the downstream network regardless of the overlaying network protocol.
By using a proxy service, the SecuriCDS Data Diode can handle common communication protocols, e.g. file or network time transfers. All services translate the protocols into unidirectional data flows.
Data Diode - SecuriCDS® DD1000A
SecuriCDS DD1000A is a pure hardware based data diode with optical separation to assure unidirectional data flow. DD1000A offers high performance in a small stand alone package mountable in a single 1U 19” rack system.
With unidirectional data flow, the SecuriCDS DD1000A takes data protection to a higher level, offering a powerful solution for efficient, risk-free and assured single direction data transfer between security domains.
The SecuriCDS DD1000A offers full Gigabit data throughput in a small package. It can be used as a tabletop device or mounted as a half-width 19” rack system device. Two SecuriCDS DD1000A devices can be mounted next to each other in a 19’’ rack still with a height of 1U.
The SecuriCDS DD1000A is designed as hardware only and has no software installed. It uses optical separation internally to guarantee the unidirectional data flow.
