Best Practices
Waterfall’s unidirectional technology is recommended by many governmental and regulatory bodies worldwide as best practice in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Critical Infrastructure (CI) cyber security. See below for a few examples of a growing list of recommendations.
ISA
Unidirectional gateways limit the propagation of malicious code (ISA SP-99-3-3)
NEI
NEI exempts unidirectional-protected sites from 21 of 26 cyber-perimeter rules
ANSSI
ANSSI cybersecurity for ICS – many requirements for hardware-enforced unidirectionality
ENISA
Unidirectional gateways provide better protection than firewalls
DHS
DHS recommends unidirectional gateways in security assessments
IEC
Unidirectional gateways limit propagation of malicious code (IEC 62443-3-3)
NRC
NRC exempts unidirectional-protected sites from 21 of 26 cyber-perimeter rules
NERC
NERC-CIP exempts over 35% cyber security requirements when using unidirectional gateways
ACSC
ACSC recommends unidirectional communication between networks at different security levels
