SAP meets the plant floor: collecting operational insight without puncturing OT trust

SAP OT data diode: practical guidance for secure one-way data flow architectures.

Summary: Enterprise ERP and manufacturing intelligence ambitions depend on timely operational truth—but SAP-centric architectures must not become accidental tunnels into SCADA and MES islands.

The integration dilemma

Asset Viewer Service (AVS), MES connectors, and analytics pipelines hunger for plant data. Traditional integrations risk sprawling firewall rules and standing VPNs that age poorly.

A disciplined publish pattern

The Connexite SAP integration brief sketches how diode-mediated workflows move curated datasets toward SAP-facing services while preserving a one-way discipline at the OT boundary.

Plan holistically

Align OT owners, BASIS teams, and security architecture before you tune brokers—this paper is a conversation starter, not a turnkey blueprint.

Maritime operations have entered a new era where data is mission-critical to safety, efficiency, compliance, and competitiveness.

Ships are now highly connected platforms, continuously exchanging telemetry with shore for voyage optimization, condition-based maintenance, emissions reporting, and security monitoring.

This transformation creates undeniable value, but it also expands the attack surface and elevates operational risk in environments where a single compromise can endanger life, cargo, vessels, and the marine environment.

Data diodes are critical for ISO 27001 compliance, providing unidirectional data flow to prevent unauthorized access and data exfiltration.

ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard for managing information security, aimed at helping organizations protect their information assets such as financial data, intellectual property, and personal information.

It specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS), emphasizing risk management and continual improvement.

Key components of ISO 27001 include a systematic approach to managing sensitive information, identifying and treating risks, and implementing specific security controls. The standard is used across various industries to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, enhance customer trust, and provide a competitive advantage. It also supports operational efficiency, business continuity, and third-party assurance.

Data diodes are critical for ISO 27001 compliance, providing unidirectional data flow to prevent unauthorized access and data exfiltration. By enforcing strict network segmentation, data diodes isolate sensitive information, ensuring robust access control and secure communication channels. This hardware-enforced security mechanism protects against sophisticated cyber threats and ensures the integrity and confidentiality of critical data.
