Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring a protected network using unidirectional communication includes a sending unit coupled to one or more devices of the protected network for obtaining network data related to protected network status. The apparatus further includes an eavesdropping unit with an interceptor configured to intercept the requested data within the sending unit via a loop connection between input and output interfaces of the sending unit. The interceptor and the loop connection are inductively coupled and configured for unidirectional communication from the sending unit to the receiving unit. A receiving unit is coupled to the eavesdropping unit for receiving the duplicated data and forwarding the duplicated data to an evaluation system located in a low security external network. A reconfigurable application layer includes at least one modular application configured to operate security related functions that support intrusion detection.
