Frost & Sullivan Lauds Waterfall SecurityFrost & Sullivan Lauds Waterfall Security for Developing FLIP, a Revolutionary Network-Perimeter Security Offering for the Oil and Gas Infrastructure Market PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, March 26, 2014 -- Waterfall FLIP leverages all existing Unidirectional Security Gateway server replication software components and their features Based on its recent analysis of the oil and gas infrastructure security market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Waterfall Security with the 2014 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation Leadership. The company demonstrated strong innovation credentials with the introduction of its Waterfall FLIP™ solution. Waterfall FLIP is a Unidirectional Security Gateway that securely integrates information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT) control system networks, and blocks network- oriented cyberthreats targeting control systems and plant networks at critical industrial infrastructures. Uniquely, Waterfall FLIP allows the orientation of the Unidirectional Security Gateway to change periodically. While information flows unidirectionally out of a protected network almost all of the time, the technology can change directions to also flow back into a protected network to allow, for example, anti-virus signatures and control recipes to re-enter the protected network.
