We have a unidirectional gateway with a complete protocol break. Sales are picking up. We’re hoping to deliver a guard later this year.

Hardware may be hard, but what’s really hard are high assurance attack resistant systems.

is it cross domain solution?

It is. Supports file transfers (sftp push and pull), XML (basically file with schema validation, different filters on each side of the protocol break), and TCP and UDP steaming.

We’re proud of how fast it is, among other things.

Sounds interesting. Do you have any formal verification tools in your tech stack?

p.s. are you hiring?

We're always interested in talking to potential candidates, but unless you're in Ottawa work would be truly remote (we all WFH, but we get together at least monthly for lunch, save for the folks in the Maritimes, the UK, etc.).

What protocol? Control systems type stuff?

File and XML (file with schema validation) via sftp, and TCP and UDP streaming. In streaming mode, useful for getting logs, etc., from a SCADA network to a business mode. In block mode, handy for pushing patches the other way.

Among other things.
