The FiberPlex FP-SDOB, Secure Data Orchestration Bundles, powered by Probity Fastback™ software and delivered with Patton’s famous SFX Data Diode SFPs, enable organizations to securely share operational and business data between isolated networks, at distance, without introducing a return communications path. The solution delivers advanced data transfer, protocol adaptation, workflow automation, and transfer monitoring capabilities for mission-critical environments.

The shrink-wrapped kits simplify the movement of information between operational technology (OT), industrial control systems (ICS), enterprise IT systems, cybersecurity platforms, cloud services, security operations centers (SOC), and data analytics applications. With support for file-based, request-driven, API-based, and streaming workflows, organizations can securely export valuable operational data while preserving strict network separation.  Patton’s Data Diode SFPs deliver hardware enforced uni-directional connectivity at distances up to 10 Km (6.2 miles) over fiber.  The Fastback™ software engineer provides the software intelligence required to collect, validate, transform, transport, and deliver data between the isolated networks while preserving strict unidirectional security.

Unlike traditional transfer applications that are limited to basic file movement, Fastback™ delivers a comprehensive framework for secure information exchange across complex enterprises and operational environments. The platform orchestrates the transfer of files, messages, telemetry, operational data, application transactions, system logs, streaming video, cloud-hosted content, and API-based communications while maintaining physical separation between networks.

Fastback's™ flexible dataflow architecture enables organizations to create dedicated channels for transferring information between virtually any combination of source and destination systems. Dataflows can be configured to poll source locations automatically or respond to request-based triggers, allowing organizations to tailor workflows to operational and mission requirements. Multiple dataflows can operate simultaneously, enabling a single deployment to support numerous business and operational processes.

At the integration layer, Fastback™ provides one of the industry's most comprehensive collections of protocol connectors and protocol adaptation capabilities. Data can be collected from local file systems, network file shares, SFTP servers, FTP repositories, cloud storage platforms, web services, email systems, JSON APIs, and real-time streaming applications. Fastback™ can then securely deliver that same data to completely different destination systems without requiring the source and destination to use identical protocols. This dramatically simplifies secure integration projects and accelerates deployment timelines.

The platform is equally capable of supporting traditional file-transfer workflows and modern real-time operational applications. Organizations can securely move security logs to SIEM platforms, transfer industrial historian data to enterprise analytics systems, export operational telemetry to cloud repositories, share manufacturing information with business systems, or transport surveillance and monitoring video streams to centralized operations centers.

Designed for demanding operational environments, Fastback™ utilizes a multi-threaded architecture optimized for performance, scalability, and reliability. Multiple transfer channels can run concurrently while configurable processing resources help maximize available network and server performance. The platform supports sustained, high-volume operations and is suitable for environments where continuous information exchange is critical to operational success.

Security is integrated throughout the platform. Fastback™ complements the hardware-enforced protection of Patton SFX Data Diodes through support for credential protection, encrypted communications, configuration version control, transfer integrity validation, comprehensive logging, and operating-system hardening. Detailed transaction records and operational metrics provide administrators with visibility into transfer performance, audit activity, and system health.

Built on standard Linux operating environments and leveraging commercial-off-the-shelf infrastructure, Fastback™ delivers a highly flexible deployment model that reduces implementation costs while simplifying integration and lifecycle management. Organizations can deploy Fastback™ as part of a complete Patton SFX secure data transfer solution to satisfy cybersecurity, compliance, operational visibility, and critical infrastructure protection requirements

Together, Patton SFX Hardware-Enforced Data Diodes and Fastback™ Software provide a complete secure data transfer platform combining physical one-way protection, intelligent data orchestration, protocol adaptation, enterprise scalability, and operational flexibility for modern critical infrastructure environments.
