Detroit Water and Sewerage Department Implements Waterfall Security's Unidirectional Security Gateways
TEL AVIV, Israel, March 31, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Waterfall Security Solutions, the leading provider of Unidirectional
Security Gateways, and Detroit Water and Wastewater Department (DWSD),
announced today the successful installation of several Waterfall Security
Gateways to secure DWSD's process control network.
"Detroit Water is the vanguard in the Water industry to recognize the
importance and value of keeping their critical assets inaccessible from any
external network," said Lior Frenkel, Waterfall Security's Co-Founder and
CEO, "We are honored to have such a technology and cyber security leader as
part of our growing customer base within US critical infrastructures and
utilities".
The implementation involved several of Waterfall's security gateways,
including Waterfall for OSIsoft PI and various File Transfer solutions.
"In order to leverage and share process control data in real-time, we
recognized the need to greatly enhance our security posture," said PJ Dada,
Assistant Director of DWSD's Information Technology, Systems Integration &
Operations Group (ITSIO), "We looked for a cyber-security solution which will
provide our critical environments the highest security level, while retaining
our operational needs and functionalities. Waterfall Security answered both
those requirements. Another main advantage of this security solution was the
robust and comprehensive integration that Waterfall has done with the OSIsoft
PI platform."
Waterfall's patented cyber security solutions enable Utilities
and Critical Infrastructures to securely connect their critical industrial
networks to external networks, thus securely fulfilling their business needs
without exposing these networks to risks and threats of cyber-attacks, cyber
terror, and hacking from external, less secure networks. Waterfall's cyber
security solutions assists Utilities and Critical Infrastructures to achieve
compliance with NERC-CIP, NRC, CFATS and other regulations and standards, as
well as cyber-security policies and best practices.
The City of Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) owns and
operates numerous facilities for the production and distribution of potable
water and collection and treatment of wastewater. DWSD, a municipally owned
utility, provides roughly 4 million residents in southeastern Michigan with
an average of 610 million gallons of water per day. Its main Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) - one of the largest single-site WWTPs in the United
States - collects and treats residential, commercial and industrial
wastewater for 76 southeast Michigan communities and the City of Detroit.
