ROSH HAAYIN, Israel, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Waterfall's Unidirectional CloudConnect® provides secure and easy integration of industrial networks with FireEye's Threat Analytics Cloud Platform 

Waterfall Security Solutions, a global leader in cybersecurity technologies for critical infrastructure and industrial control systems, today announced a global partnership with FireEye Inc., the intelligence-led security company, to integrate the FireEye cloud-based Threat Analytics Platform (TAP) with industrial networks using Waterfall's Unidirectional CloudConnect. This joint solution enables FireEye customers to monitor and protect their ICS networks using the market-leading, cloud-based Helix service, while eliminating the threat of remote cyberattacks entering the monitored ICS environment. Industrial businesses who previously refrained from using any cloud or IIoT services due to security concerns, can now remain confident that their ICS networks are safe from external cyber risks.
