Head-to-Head Comparison Owl Talon® vs Waterfall WF-500/600

Owl Talon vs. Waterfall WF-500/600

When critical infrastructure operators need to move OT data into IT environments without compromising control-system security, one-way connectivity alone is not enough. Our exclusive eBook compares Owl Talon Protocol Filtering Diodes with Waterfall WF-500/600 gateways—highlighting why hardware-enforced protocol filtering, high performance, and operational adaptability matter in high-consequence environments.

See how Owl Talon’s FPGA-based enforcement, built-in high availability, up to 100 Gbps throughput, and extensible platform compare with Waterfall’s replication-centric approach. The guide helps security, engineering, and compliance teams evaluate architectures that support resilient, scalable Zero Trust operations across utilities, oil and gas, nuclear, manufacturing, and other critical infrastructure sectors.
