OT security vendor Waterfall Security Solutions announced a new partnership with Amitec. Combining Waterfall’s unidirectional security gateways with Amitec’s ability in making OT (operational technology) data available will help further secure operational OT data for industrial networks.

The new partnership helps alleviate Amitec’s customers’ concerns for OT/IT integration and provides a secure way to connect OT with IT and the cloud. Most importantly, this partnership will help shorten time-to-value for customers down to just a few days, delivering real-time access to all operational data without any risk to the OT environment.

Amitec is a Nordic software and services company specializing in transforming real-time and historical process data into insights and has been serving Nordic customers for over 25 years.

“At Amitec, our expertise is making operational (OT) data available to all enterprise users in a secure way, enabling safe IT/OT integration. We’ve been doing it for over 25 years, striving for continuous improvement in our service offerings.” Børre Heggernes, CTO of Amitec, explained in a media statement. “Partnering with Waterfall enables us to go to the next level with adding a physical layer of security.”

“This partnership helps solidify our presence in the European market” said Amir Grovais, vice president of sales at Waterfall Security Solutions, “By partnering with Amitec, their customers are able to quickly secure the connectivity to their OT data, with integration that can be put into place in a matter of days.”

Last week, Waterfall Security announced deployment of its unidirectional security gateways to protect Amber Grid, Lithuania’s vital gas transmission system operator. In light of recent high-profile cyber-attacks and regional geopolitical tensions, safeguarding critical national infrastructures has become paramount. Waterfall claims that its unidirectional gateways provide ‘robust defense’ against online threats, ensuring secure and uninterrupted operation for Lithuania’s gas transmission network.
