InfoWatch Details ARMA Wall NGFW Development for Industrial Systems Under Russian Import Substitution Rules

InfoWatch has published the second part of its interview series describing the ongoing development of the ARMA Wall next-generation firewall for industrial control systems. The product prioritizes on-premise processing without cloud agents to meet strict customer security policies and certification requirements. Engineers combine proprietary detection feeds with external sources, including indicators from NKCKI, while maintaining hundreds of thousands of signatures without disabling legacy rules for older Siemens controllers. Migration support relies on manual pre-project audits rather than automated tools, and the company works closely with domestic SCADA vendors to embed NGFW capabilities inside long-lifecycle OT environments. ARMA Wall is positioned as a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to data diodes because it allows granular command-level filtering and can emulate one-way traffic when required. The solution is already deployed at Roscosmos subsidiary RKK Energia after full certification and categorization.
