PA’s very first patent: Data Link and Method of Forming the Same

We are proud to announce the success of PA’s very first patent, developed to address the critical need for a more secure method of transferring data between computer systems. While data diodes are commonly used to secure data exchange by restricting the direction of data flow, our Botiguard product takes this approach further.

Using our patented technology, Botiguard not only controls data flow but also inspects the data content to block potential threats such as malicious files and viruses. This is done using only built-in hardware. Additionally, Botiguard is physically tamper-proof and immune to remote software attacks, providing robust and reliable protection for your data.

The product was showcased at the Cybersecurity Innovation Day 2022 and presented recently at the ACM Sigenergy Workshop 2024 as a practical appliance to secure data exchanges for SCADA systems.

We are very pleased to contribute to advancements in data security and will continue to strive for innovative solutions to meet emerging needs.
