Connecting Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks to an industrial network via data diode

To connect Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks to an industrial network, you can additionally use special devices that provide unidirectional transmission of data from the industrial network. These devices are called data diodes. Data diodes can be installed on the connection links of monitoring points for Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks and on SPAN ports of network switches.

The figure below shows an example of connecting through a data diode to a monitoring point on the Server. In this deployment scenario, the Server is installed without external sensors.
