Waterfall's patent pending solutions enables network segregation ("air gapping") and provide absolute and impenetrable security for critical networks.

Canada's New Brunswick Power selected Waterfall's solution to enable the secure one-way connection of its Mission-Critical Network to its Corporate Network.

Waterfall's solution allows replicating, in real-time, an operational SCADA network into the Corporate Network.

"The Waterfall security product provides an innovative method of allowing our plant control system to send data to our corporate OSIsoft PI system, while providing exceptional security", commented Mr. Steve Boyko at NB Power, "Our trial installation was incorporated into the existing network quickly and with minimal impact to operational systems".
