Oakdoor Enterprise Diode
10GbE high-throughput hardware cybersecurity device designed to secure mission critical data at scale and speed.
Hardware-enforced cybersecurity
The Oakdoor Enterprise Diode is a high-performance cybersecurity device engineered for defence and security operations, where the safeguarding of mission-critical and classified information is paramount.
It ensures secure and speedy movement of data between segregated networks of varying trust levels by enforcing one-way data transfer at a full 10 Gbit/s line rate.
Approved by the UK NCSC CAPS for safeguarding government-classified information and features on NCDSMO Diode list of devices approved for protection US Government networks, the Oakdoor Enterprise Diode provides secure, high-throughput data transmission, making it an ideal solution for hyperscale environments.
Benefits

FAQs
A data diode is a simple network component that allows data to flow through the device in one direction only. It is named in analogy to the electronic diode circuit component that allows current to flow in one direction only.
Data diodes are used to segregate networks. Data diodes are critical components of the most secure "cross domain solutions", where combinations of one-way flow control and careful content inspection are used to ensure malware cannot cross the boundary from an untrusted to a trusted network.
An electrical data diode offers significant advantages over an optical diode in terms of speed, cost, and security. Electrical diodes are faster and more affordable while delivering equivalent or superior levels of security. For example, the best optical diodes achieve a maximum attenuation of approximately 35 dB, whereas electrical data diodes achieve a much higher attenuation of 100 dB, providing stronger isolation and enhanced protection against data leakage.
Firewalls and data diodes differ fundamentally in their design and security mechanisms. Firewalls rely on CPUs and software, making them susceptible to hacking. In contrast, a data diode's core functionalities are rooted in the physical and electrical properties of hardware, rendering it impervious to software-based attacks
