Security solutions for defence & classified environments

Data diodes originated in defence and intelligence environments, where the requirement was never “reduce the risk of a reverse channel” but “make one physically impossible.” That standard is still the baseline ConnexONE is built to.

For classified and sensitive information, ConnexONE enforces hierarchical, role-based release: operators define which protocols, file types and metadata are permitted to cross the boundary, and administrators set the rules that govern every transfer — so cross-domain movement of data follows policy, not discretion.

Deployable and field environments carry the same requirement as a fixed facility, in a smaller footprint. NOVA’s compact, DIN-rail chassis is built for exactly that: sensitive-zone telemetry and reporting leaving a forward or temporary site without opening any path back in.

Aligned with NCSC guidance on secure architecture and one-way data flow, ConnexONE gives defence organisations and their suppliers a documented, physically enforced boundary rather than a policy that depends on correct firewall configuration.

For forward and deployable sites, EdgeGate provides the same fanless, DIN-mountable routing and default-deny firewall as a fixed facility — with every remote-access session and configuration change landing in a tamper-evident record.

Which ConnexONE product fits defence and classified deployments?

The right fit depends on what the site needs to do — export data one-way, route and firewall a network, filter commands, monitor passively, or power edge devices. Here is how each product applies.

ConnexONE Data Diode

Direct fit. The origin case for data diodes — a physically enforced boundary with hierarchical, role-based release for classified and sensitive information.

EdgeGate

Feasible for deployable and field sites needing the same fanless, DIN-mountable routing and default-deny firewall as a fixed facility, with a tamper-evident record of every session. See above.

ConnexGate

Feasible where cross-domain traffic needs command-level inspection rather than a hard boundary — validating industrial or business protocols down to the individual command.

ConnexSight

Feasible for passive, non-intrusive monitoring of classified networks, since discovery never involves active probing of sensitive equipment.

VERGE

Feasible for access-control systems and camera networks at secure sites, powered and segmented on their own VLAN.
