Case Study: a UK government agency imports patches securely with Nexor Data Diode

UK Government Agency imports patches to IL5 secure network with Nexor

The UK Government Agency faced a challenge securing its closed classified network. Traditional methods like air-gaps and firewalls were no longer deemed sufficiently secure or efficient for importing patches. They required a new solution to eliminate the risk of data loss and prevent any back communication channels from the secure environment. They partnered with vendor Nexor for a solution.

Nexor implemented its Data Diode solution to ensure data could only flow one way into the network. This provided a secure means to import the necessary patches while rigorously protecting against any potential data exfiltration. The solution successfully reduced the risks associated with updating the high-impact IL5 network.
