FOX‑IT Data Diode cuts off cyber threats without losing control of your network

Full OT and classified network isolation with zero risk of control loss.
The data diode blocks unauthorized traffic while allowing secure transfer of logs, reports, and updates — always in one direction.

IS YOUR COMPANY REALLY SECURE?

The data diode filters information before
the attackers can get to it

A data diode is a hardware barrier that controls the direction of information flow — out only.
It allows no inbound connections, eliminating the risk of eavesdropping, attacks, or takeovers.
Secure your infrastructure before someone else does it — their way.

One-Way Security Wall

A data diode is a physical barrier that completely blocks inbound connections — data can only exit the network. Unlike firewalls, it cannot be bypassed or reprogrammed. This ensures no external device can access your network. Ideal for OT, ICS, and classified environments.

Stress-Free Reporting Without Risk of Return

The data diode ensures that data leaving your network — reports, logs, or statistics — reaches its destination without any possibility of unauthorized return communication. Even if malicious code is injected in the data or an attacker tries to trigger a system response, the diode physically prevents it. Outgoing information remains secure, and the risk of a return attack is entirely eliminated.

One Direction, No Exceptions

Unlike configurable or rule-based systems, the hardware-based data diode cannot be broken or tampered with. Its construction blocks all return connections, even accidental ones. Regardless of data type, protocol, or evasion technique — anything that leaves the network cannot come back. That’s full separation — no exceptions, no loopholes.

Guaranteed One-Way Transmission

The data diode gives you full control over information flow — data can exit the network, but nothing can come back. VPN tunnels, hidden ports, or reverse-shell exploits are physically impossible. The unidirectional flow is hardware-enforced, with no bypass or gaps. This isn’t just effective — it’s technical proof that the network is truly isolated.

ONE-WAY TRANSFER?

Be sure your data goes out and nothing comes back

Before expanding or integrating your network, make sure you truly control your data flows. The data diode gives you certainty — data leaves your network, but no threat has any chance of coming back.

Security that doesn’t stop operations

Update, report, and collect logs without the risk of return attacks.

ARE YOU SURE YOUR DATA IS SAFE?

Request an
IT Security Audit

Don’t wait for something to happen. One mistake, an accidental click, or an unpatched vulnerability can cost you your data, clients, and reputation. An IT audit will help you identify threats before cybercriminals do.

How does the FOX-IT data diode work?

Understand how it works in 3 steps – brief, technical, and clear.

1. Secure data transfer

Ensures safe data transmission thanks to the one-way data diode, which physically blocks any return flow. This is the most reliable way to separate networks and eliminate risk.

2. One-way communication

Allows data to flow only in one direction – from a higher to a lower security zone.
It cannot be bypassed or reversed.

3. Complete protection

With the FOX data diode, you gain absolute protection – unauthorized access or data leaks are physically impossible. This solution is certified at the EAL7+ security level.

No software means no vulnerabilities, no backdoors, no updates. The diode is attack-proof and requires no patching.

Frequently Asked Questions About Data Diodes

Before you decide to implement a data diode, it’s worth addressing common concerns.
Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions – technical, organizational, and practical.

Does the data diode completely block any return traffic?

Yes. The diode is a hardware-based solution that enforces one-way data flow – nothing can reverse or “come back.” No return channels exist.

Can I send different types of data – e.g., logs, video, files?

Absolutely. FOX data diodes support various protocols and data types – from system logs to video and files. Everything is secure and configuration-free on the sender’s side.

Does installing the diode require changes to my infrastructure?

No. FOX diodes operate as independent devices – they don’t alter your network structure or logic. Integration is done via standard interfaces (e.g., Ethernet).

What happens if someone tries to take control of the diode?

The diode has no operating system or software, so it can’t be hacked, updated, or remotely taken over. No software = no vulnerabilities.

Is the device certified?

Yes. FOX data diodes are certified to EAL7+ (the highest Common Criteria security level) and NATO COSMIC TOP SECRET – proving their effectiveness and resilience.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the model, throughput (1–10 Gbps), and number of channels. We always recommend a short consultation to tailor the best option to your organization’s needs.
