Operational Technology (OT) refers to hardware and software that manages and monitors physical processes, such as machines, sensors, and systems in sectors like energy, water management, and oil & gas. With increasing digitalization, OT is becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Technologies like the MagiCtwin protect OT through secure one-way data communication and network segmentation.

A data diode is a hardware-based solution that physically allows data flows to flow in one direction. This prevents cyber threats from reaching critical OT systems. The MagiCtwin provides reliable one-way communication and complies with strict standards such as NIS2.

Physical separation, such as an air-gapped network, prevents threats from OT processes from affecting IT networks. The MagiCtwin ensures controlled, one-way traffic, keeping critical operational systems isolated and protected from cyberattacks and sabotage. As a product evaluated by the AIVD BSPA, it offers a proven, secure solution for network isolation.

The push method sends data directly from a sender to a receiver, while the pull method actively retrieves the data from the receiver. The MagiCtwin supports both methods, whether based on scheduled file sharing (e.g., periodically) or in real time for protocols like OPC-UA or via port mirroring. This enables flexible, secure, and controlled data exchange.

The MagiCtwin provides one-way physical communication, allowing data flows from OT to IT without the risk of external access or feedback. This prevents cyberattacks and protects operational continuity.

The MagiCtwin is designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, offering maximum control over quality and compliance with European regulations. This aligns with government recommendations on digital autonomy and sovereignty.

Compliance is the foundation, but combine it with OT/IT separation, monitoring, and segmentation. The MagiCtwin complies with regulations such as NIS2, while protecting your systems from cyber threats.

An incident response plan helps minimize the impact of cyberattacks. It provides a framework for detection, response, and recovery, ensuring continuity and mitigating risks.

Ransomware, vulnerable OT systems, and human error are the biggest risks. Investing in technology like the MagiCtwin, segmentation, and training minimizes these threats.

Implementing access control, monitoring activities, and training employees are crucial. The MagiCtwin provides a physical barrier to further mitigate insider threats.

The MagiCtwin integrates seamlessly with SCADA systems and provides one-way physical communication, preventing IT threats from affecting OT systems.

Schedule implementations during maintenance windows, pre-test new systems, and train teams. The MagiCtwin offers easy integration with existing infrastructures.

Malware can spread from IT to OT networks, leading to disruptions and data breaches. Segmentation is essential to prevent this.

Regular audits, penetration testing and use of specialized tools help identify vulnerabilities in OT systems.

All communication is blocked by default unless explicitly permitted. This prevents misconfigurations and increases network security.

The "default deny" principle automatically blocks all unauthorized access attempts. This minimizes the risk of backdoors.

The MagiCtwin provides an intuitive interface that makes it easy to configure and manage secure data streams.

The MagiCtwin integrates easily with existing systems and meets the latest safety and compliance requirements.

Mistakes like inadequate segmentation and default passwords increase the risk of cyber threats. Follow best practices to minimize risk.

Use logs and advanced monitoring tools to detect anomalies. Conduct regular audits and tests.

The MagiCtwin's central interface provides real-time insight into data streams and allows you to easily manage configurations.

The integrated diagnostics tools detect suspicious activities early, which is essential for securing OT networks.

This refers to physically separating networks with different confidentiality levels, such as red/black separation. The MagiCtwin supports this practice.

The MagiCtwin prevents cyberattacks from affecting operational systems such as pumps and locks. It provides physical separation and secure one-way communication, which is crucial for compliance with NIS2 guidelines and ensuring continuity in the water sector.

Many existing data diodes no longer meet the latest safety requirements. The MagiCtwin offers a modern solution that complies with European standards and is compatible with industrial protocols, allowing organizations in Vital A sectors to future-proof their infrastructure.

By implementing physical separation between IT and OT networks, the MagiCtwin prevents threats from impacting operational systems. Monitoring tools also provide visibility into data flows, and an incident response plan increases resilience.

Ransomware, insider threats, and vulnerable PLC systems are the biggest threats. Physical separation and continuous monitoring with the MagiCtwin minimize these risks and ensure secure operational processes.

With one-way communication, redundancy, and strict access control, the MagiCtwin protects nuclear systems from external and internal threats. Monitoring and personnel training are additional measures to ensure compliance and safety.

Yes, the MagiCtwin is designed for rugged environments and can withstand temperatures from -20°C to +55°C. Its fanless design minimizes maintenance and makes it ideal for sectors such as energy, transportation, and water management.

The robust construction makes the MagiCtwin resistant to harsh conditions, such as dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations. This increases reliability and service life, even in critical infrastructures.

The MagiCtwin distinguishes itself through physical one-way communication, scalable integration options, and support for industrial protocols such as SCADA and OPC-UA. It complies with stringent standards such as NIS2 and offers robust security without compromising performance.

Human error remains one of the biggest risks in cybersecurity. Through training, awareness, and technology like the MagiCtwin, which prevents misconfigurations, organizations can minimize these risks.

Insurance only covers the financial damage of a cyberattack, but it doesn't prevent incidents. Preventive measures such as physical separation and monitoring with the MagiCtwin remain essential to prevent operational disruptions.

Segmentation, one-way communication, and regularly updated backups are crucial. The MagiCtwin minimizes the risk of ransomware spreading to critical OT systems.

Innovative technologies like post-quantum encryption, regular audits, and collaboration with trusted partners strengthen your security strategy. The MagiCtwin is designed to continuously meet emerging threats and standards.

In the event of an IT outage or cyberattack, the MagiCtwin provides secure one-way communication. This makes it an indispensable component of fallback scenarios in sectors such as energy and nuclear infrastructure.

The MagiCtwin offers physical separation and flexible integration, allowing it to evolve with new protocols and security layers. This makes the device ready for evolving threats.
