// Asset Insight / Vialis implemented the MagiCtwin data diode together with Compumatica
Asset Insight, part of Vialis and a specialist in data-driven asset management, plays a crucial role in managing infrastructure such as bridges, locks, and tunnels. To ensure the safety and reliability of these essential objects, Asset Insight sought a way to securely transmit sensor data to the cloud, eliminating the risk of traffic back to operational systems or data leaks. In collaboration with Compumatica, the MagiCtwin Diode was implemented, a solution that guarantees one-way traffic and complies with the strictest regulations for critical infrastructure.
Challenge: Secure and reliable data flows in a digital infrastructure
With the increasing digitalization of infrastructure, Asset Insight faced a complex challenge. Sensors continuously collect valuable information about the status and performance of bridges and tunnels, but this data had to be securely transmitted to a central environment without risks such as unauthorized access or manipulation of operational systems. At the same time, the solution had to be fully integrated into the existing infrastructure and comply with strict national and European regulations.
Compumatica's MagiCtwin Diode provided the perfect solution. By physically separating the operational technology (OT) and IT environments, data can only flow in one direction: from the OT network to the Vialis-managed cloud in the Netherlands. This prevents any backhaul and ensures that the vital infrastructure remains fully operational without external security risks.
Implementation: Seamless integration without impacting operations
Compumatica implemented the MagiCtwin Diode, a technology that enables secure one-way communication by sending data from critical infrastructure to a Vialis-managed cloud in the Netherlands, physically eliminating backhaul traffic, ensuring smooth integration with existing systems, and ensuring primary operational processes remain uninterrupted.
The solution now describes in one powerful sentence the implementation, functionality and benefits of the MagiCtwin Diode.
Vision for the future: Safe and scalable asset management
Thanks to the successful implementation of the MagiCtwin Diode, Asset Insight now has a future-proof solution that not only meets current security standards but is also flexible enough to support future expansions and innovations. The partnership with Compumatica provides Asset Insight with the assurance that their data streams remain optimally secured, without compromising reliability or operational continuity.
