Owl has cultivated a strong presence in the power substation market by providing highly reliable, compact data diode solutions for cybersecurity. Built on 20 years of providing military-grade cybersecurity, the Owl commercial product line protects substations from network cyberattacks while facilitating the secure transfer of monitoring data to remote end-users. Transfers are performed using “external non-routable communications” and are NERC-CIP compliant. Owl data diode products help operators balance physical security with cybersecurity to ensure reliable operation of the grid. Owl data diodes are hardware-enforced network security solutions proven to be more secure than firewalls. They use a deterministic one-way architecture and are deployed with a number of vendor partners (ABB, Siemens, etc.). By protecting digital assets located at the substations and allowing remote endusers to receive real-time operational data or view HMI screens remotely, Owl solutions enable secure, remote management and monitoring.
