Optical and Protocol Filtering Diodes support separated networks, validated content flow and regulatory compliance for industrial control systems, tactical operations and classified environments. They protect a wide range of mission critical systems including databases, historians, SCADA, PLCs and DCS environments, providing hardware enforced one way movement for trusted data flows.

Not all boundaries carry the same risk, and the control should reflect the boundary. A sensor feed leaving a control network needs a physical assurance that nothing comes back. A tactical unit pushing messages to a lower enclave needs that plus confirmation that only approved content crosses. Partners at different classification levels need inspection, transformation, and a release decision tied to policy.
Everfox covers that range in one portfolio: hardware-enforced one-way transfer, Hardsec-validated content flow, and policy-aligned Cross Domain exchange. Unidirectional transfer is the foundation for the highest assurance boundaries, where any inbound network route must be physically prevented rather than logically blocked.
Everfox Data Diodes are designed to meet mission assurance requirements and align with recognized one way data transfer standards.

Solution Brief
Solution Brief
A data diode is a hardware device that only allows data to move in one direction. Everfox uses this approach to help government and defense organizations move mission data out of high trust networks without creating a return path. Optical Data Diodes use fiber optic hardware to support one way movement that does not rely on trusted software. This air gap between networks uses the laws of physics to ensure that networks are safe from attacks, malware, and other threats.
A firewall manages traffic through software rules. A Data Diode manages traffic through hardware design. Firewalls can be bypassed or misconfigured. Everfox Diodes enforce direction through physical separation or Hardsec logic, which helps remove common software based risks. Many mission environments use both technologies together.
Mission teams often evaluate throughput, assurance level and support for compliance frameworks. Everfox Data Diodes support high speed one way transfer up to nine gigabits per second. Everfox Protocol Filtering Diodes work by using hardware logic to verify each data stream and enforce a protocol break. This approach ensures that no data bypasses verification. Many government and defense programs also look for alignment with separation patterns and support for ICS, OT and tactical systems.
To transfer data securely between mission networks, teams often rely on hardware enforced separation. Everfox Protocol Filtering Diodes apply Hardsec logic to verify each data stream and enforce protocol break so only approved content moves forward. For missions that require inspection or transformation, Everfox Cross Domain Solutions add policy aligned control.
Everfox Diodes help protect high trust environments by supporting separation, validated content pathways and compliant movement of mission data. Optical Diodes focus on physical protection. Protocol Filtering Diodes focus on Hardsec verified data. Together with CDS, they give missions options for separation, validation and controlled release.
Yes. Everfox optical and protocol filtering technologies support one way movement which helps organizations maintain segmentation and manage cyber risk. Hardsec verification helps ensure validated content crosses network boundaries in regulated government and defense environments.
Yes. A data diode remains one way by design, but two diodes can be deployed in opposite directions to create bidirectional transfer. Each diode enforces one way movement on its own path, preserving physical separation while allowing information to flow both ways.
They are suitable for databases, historians, SCADA systems, PLCs, DCS environments and other industrial control or tactical systems that require hardware enforced one way boundaries.
They are configured through an intuitive interface, support non routable one way paths and provide health, link and throughput visibility. Logs and telemetry can be exported to SIEM or SOAR platforms for operational monitoring.
