Waterfall Security Solutions® and OSIsoft® Corporation Sign a Partnership Agreement

 TEL-AVIV, Israel, June 24 /PRNewswire/ — Waterfall Security Solutions® Ltd., the leading provider of secure unidirectional connectivity for Process Control Systems, Industrial Networks, SCADA systems, Remote Monitoring and Segregated Networks announced today a new partnership agreement with OSIsoft®, the global leader in software infrastructure for real-time information and performance management. The agreement follows successful installations of the Waterfall SCADA Monitoring Enabler for OSIsoft PI(TM) at several major utilities worldwide.

Waterfall’s patent pending solutions enable effective, hardware-enforced network segregation (“air gapping”) and provide top-level and impenetrable security for operational and critical industrial networks. Waterfall’s SCADA Monitoring Enabler (WF-SME(TM)) for OSIsoft PI is a high performance solution for replicating, in real-time and with high-throughput, PI information, from within secure SCADA networks and industrial control environments, to a replica PI server residing on corporate, public or 3rd party networks. This makes the PI data fully available to external users, without exposing the critical and industrial networks, in any way, to external hacking and cyber-terror threats. The WF-SME for OSIsoft PI has already been successfully deployed at critical utilities in North America, Europe and Israel. The WF-SME is a powerful and robust solution for achieving NERC-CIP, CFATS and other compliance and cyber-security regulations.

“Waterfall Security Solutions Ltd. is proud to become an official OSIsoft partner” said Lior Frenkel, Co-Founder and CEO of Waterfall Security Solutions, “The PI platform is the world leading brand name in real-time information management for utilities and critical infrastructures. Our solutions, providing secure connectivity for critical industrial networks, provide PI users with cyber security protection which is required by almost all regulations and state-of-the-art security practices. ”
