Case Study: Regional US Bank achieves secure remote network monitoring with Owl Cyber Defense

Regional US Bank secures 100,000-customer transaction network with Owl Cyber Defense

a regional US bank faced the challenge of preserving the security and isolation of its transaction center while needing to enable 24/7 remote monitoring by its on-call IT staff. To mitigate cyber threats, the bank's operations center was completely disconnected from external networks, but this made constant performance monitoring difficult. The bank partnered with Owl Cyber Defense to find a solution.

Owl Cyber Defense implemented its OPDS-100 data diodes to create a secure, hardware-enforced boundary. This solution provided a deterministic, one-way data flow that transferred performance files, alarms, and email notifications out to the IT staff for remote monitoring. This enabled the bank's team to monitor system performance and events effectively while ensuring the transaction network remained completely inaccessible from any external connection, preserving its disconnected architecture.
