Owl Computing Technologies Uses Secure Software Update Solution at US National Laboratory; Cybersecurity Solution Authenticates and Relocates Files into Safe Networks, Substitutes Risky Portable Media

RIDGEFIELD, Conn., February 24: Owl Computing Technologies Inc., the top contributor of deterministic data diode network cybersecurity solutions, has divulged the newest utilization of its Secure Software Update Solution (SSUS) at a US National Laboratory. SSUS uses patented data diode expertise to give protected file authentication and one-way transmission into protected enclaves or networks devoid of the usage of possibly sullied transportable media (USB drives, disks, etc.).

The laboratory needed a solution to steadily relocate extremely big files, software updates, and other statistics into extremely safe networks, from lesser safety networks. The solution would substitute a prevailing walk-net utilizing transportable media. The lab picked the Owl SSUS solution to aid remove the usage of portable media and deliver a quicker, more protected technique for authenticating and relocating files between network domains of diverse safety levels.

Functioning as a component of a data diode platform, SSUS delivers a multitude of safeguards (manifest, file type, ASCII authentication, checksum, filters, as well as antivirus checking) to confirm that the file to be relocated is genuine and hasn't been compromised. When files are presented for relocation, they are exposed to these user-defined authentication safeguards. If the file successfully goes through these safeguards and authentications, it is moved across the network safety border; if the file cannot be confirmed, it is secluded. Relocations can be achieved from low to high safety, high to low safety, or peer to peer.

"Contaminated or compromised portable media is a well-documented threat vector in highly secure networks," acknowledged Sal Morlando – Director of Operations at Owl, further stating, "They can be easily infected or replaced, and offer very little assurance of data integrity. SSUS provides a simple way to eliminate this vector; allowing files, software updates/patches, and host of other data types to be transferred faster, more reliably, and more securely than portable media." 

Owl focusses in protected, one-way data relocations, and has delivered several cybersecurity and cross domain solutions to the US government, DoD, intelligence, and additional connected communities. SSUS was created with these organizations in mind, but is also being used in a range of organizations in the private sector, allowing them to further fortify their networks and stop meddling with software updates and other essential files.

"Owl has been a proud provider of cybersecurity solutions to the US government and National Laboratories for almost two decades," revealed, Dr. Ronald Mraz, President and CEO of Owl, adding, "We are always glad to be able to provide our public institutions and agencies with solutions that improve their cybersecurity and also to allow them to securely share data between networks."
