Berkana Resources Corporation is pleased to announce that we have entered a Reseller Agreement with Waterfall Security Solutions Ltd. to provide sales and support for Waterfall’s security solutions in the United States.

Waterfall Security Solutions’ technology was designed to prevent cyber-hacking and cyber terror attempts on critical national infrastructure’s diverse sensitive control networks. This protection is achieved with Waterfall’s unique patent pending technology combining hardware, software and a proprietary transfer protocol. Waterfalls’ solutions provide impenetrable security as well as a high degree of flexibility and adaptability with a variety of software applications, which are suitable for a wide range of information security requirements and regulations.

Utilizing Waterfalls’ solutions to protect SCADA (Supervisory Control and Dada Acquisition) systems, the technology provides a safe and comprehensive solution to the problem of isolating threats between the control network and external network segments. SCADA systems are designated Command and Control systems which are usually deployed in areas such as Electricity, Water, Natural Gas, Oil, Communication, etc. Data in these systems is typically transmitted from sensors and actuators deployed in various geographical locations to controllers and from there relayed to a Control Center. SCADA system protection has become a priority as operators deal with increased regulation and emerging threats specifically designed to attack these systems.

“We are pleased to be working with Waterfalls’ industry leading technology. Waterfall’s security solutions will help us secure our clients critical infrastructure by providing the highest level of isolation available to protect control networks from external threats.” said Jeff Whitney of Berkana Resources.
