Waterfall Security and AXYS partner to deliver OT protection for data centers

Waterfall Security and AXYS announced Tuesday a new partnership that will deliver a new level of OT (operational technology) protection for data centers, enhancing cybersecurity measures for clients with mission-critical facilities.

The partnership comes at a crucial time when cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, posing significant risks to organizations’ operations. With Waterfall’s unidirectional security gateway solutions, AXYS can provide clients with robust protection against existing and emerging cyber threats, while ensuring seamless data flow between IT and OT environments.

Waterfall Security delivers OT security solutions, with a range of ‘unbreachable’ unidirectional security gateways that enable safe IT/OT integration. AXYS is a global leader in integrating and engineering OT solutions. The new partnership will see both companies working together toward securing critical infrastructure across the Americas.

“As a systems integrator and engineering company, we work with all aspects of the OT environment. Waterfall simply offers products that are unmatched in the industry,” highlights AXYS CTO, Shane M. Ranck, FMP. “The ability to have a fully secure unidirectional gateway to guarantee safely traversing the IT/OT bridge is of utmost importance. We are proposing to implement this with every project we do as this offers our clients the paramount solution to OT protection.”

“AXYS’s deep experience in the data center field, combined with their strong presence in the market, makes them a natural partner for Waterfall’s entire product lineup,” explained Ran Pedhazur, COO of Waterfall. “By partnering with a well-established integrator and engineering service provider such as AXYS, we are able to deploy more Waterfall unidirectional gateways to many more colos and facilities, and in less time. We are excited to see where this partnership takes us both, together.”

In February, Waterfall Security and Contel Technologies collaborated to enhance cyber defense at Etgal Power Station, Taro, and Tower Semiconductor. The cyber protection technology developed by Waterfall Security protects OT networks with the use of unidirectional security gateways and is integrated into many industrial plants and infrastructure facilities. These installations were carried out by Contel Group, an Israeli company, which integrates process control systems.
