Yokogawa to offer Waterfall Unidirectional Gateway cybersecurity products

globally

Waterfall Security Solutions(https://waterfall-security.com/), the leader in OT

cybersecurity, is pleased to announce a collaboration agreement with Yokogawa

Electric Corporation, a leading provider of industrial automation and test and

measurement solutions. This new collaboration will make Waterfall's

industry-leading Unidirectional Gateway cybersecurity products and technologies

available to Yokogawa's customers globally. In a world where cyber threats to

industrial operations continue to become more powerful and more pervasive,

making unidirectional protections available more widely will dramatically

improve industrial security programs and preparedness.

"Operational and technical reliability is a key focus at Yokogawa. Our

collaboration with Waterfall will improve the security posture of Yokogawa

customers and will enable better protection of critical industrial

infrastructures from targeted ransomware and nation-state attacks," said Iijima

Katsunori, General Manager of Cyber Security Management at Yokogawa Electric.

"Yokogawa is proud and excited to support this initiative with Waterfall to

better serve the security needs of our joint customers."

"Our global collaboration with Yokogawa is driven by a shared commitment to

secure critical infrastructures around the world," said Lior Frenkel, CEO and

Co-Founder at Waterfall. "Waterfall and Yokogawa have been aligned globally for

many years. Together, we bring to our mutual customers strong unidirectional

protections to meet modern cybersecurity challenges. We look forward to

continuing our close cooperation in the years ahead."

Waterfall's Unidirectional Gateways and related products are proven to

integrate easily and reliably with Yokogawa products, both in Yokogawa

laboratories and in the field. Existing customers already benefit from

Waterfall installations that support Yokogawa platforms, including Exaopc,

Exaquantum, and CI Server.

With the new agreement in place, Waterfall and Yokogawa will be working on

joint commercial engagements and bundles to their mutual end-customers.

Additionally, they will work hand in hand on on-going technical validations in

the Yokogawa laboratory environment. The two will also share in marketing

activities and events showcasing the two technologies.

In an increasingly digitized world, strong cyber defenses speed the development

and adoption of technological innovations. Strong unidirectional security also

enables and simplifies Yokogawa's customers' compliance with industrial

cybersecurity best practices world-wide, including IEC 62443, France's ANSSI,

NERC CIP, the IIoT Security Framework, CENELEC TS 50701, and many more. The new

Waterfall Security and Yokogawa collaboration agreement makes all these

benefits available to Yokogawa customers world-wide.
