2023: UDV Industrial Firewall announcement on RISC-V architecture

The company, a UDV Group Russian developer in the field, on cyber security July 20, 2023 presented on firewall a free hardware architecture. RISC-V

UDV Industrial Firewall is a firewall for use industrial in () technological RISC-V networks with hardware-based traffic acceleration. Designed to separate the network and distinguish access to its segments, taking into account the operating modes of the networks APCS and deep filtering of specialized industrial protocols.

UDV Industrial Firewall features the following architectural features:

• The fully free independent RISC-V hardware architecture allows for technological independence. The product includes a processor based on the open RISC-V architecture and a hardware accelerator for filtering traffic of its own design. This approach allows you to use relatively inexpensive and low-performance RISC-V processors, coupled with an accelerator that takes the load off the processor.
• The hardware accelerator provides traffic filtering at speeds up to 1 Gb/s. This speed of operation is more than enough for use in industrial networks. In the future, the speed of operation can be increased to 40 Gbps.
• The solution is flexible and adaptable to specific tasks. The hardware accelerator uses low-cost programmable logic integrated circuits (FPGAs) of medium complexity. The accelerator architecture allows linear scaling, that is, increasing functionality and performance by simply adding expansion modules (both CPU and FPGA) that can process traffic in parallel.

{{quote 'author = Alexey Shanin commented, director of LLC CyberLymph"" (part of UDV Group).|As of July 2023, the bulk world of general-purpose central processors are based on h86 architectures ARM64 , and RISC-V. To create a firewall, UDVGroup chose the RISC-V architecture, as it is not proprietary, and is also risk resistant sanctions. RISC-V architecture is actively developing not only in Russia - we see great investments in it, including in the PRC and the European Union. We use processors manufactured by the PRC that are not subject to sanctions, and we believe that the RISC-V architecture is the future of Russian processors. In the summer of 2023, the UDV Group team demonstrated the very possibility of creating a firewall on the RISC-V architecture. In the third quarter of 2023, we will test the solution in the Customer networks. The launch of UDV Industrial Firewall into mass production is scheduled for the second quarter of 2024. Thus, we, among other things, help partners to comply with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation on import substitution of information protection equipment produced by organizations from unfriendly countries,}}
