Cogent DataHub software from Skkynet – Secure industrial data connectivity from edge to cloud

Summary: Cogent DataHub enables secure, outbound-only connections from industrial plants to cloud, IT, or DMZ environments without opening inbound firewall ports or using VPNs. It supports bidirectional communication with protocols like OPC UA, DA, MQTT, and integrates data into a unified set for real-time use and AI applications.

What it does

It tunnels real-time industrial data securely by maintaining closed inbound firewall ports and bridging multiple protocols including OPC UA, OPC DA, MQTT, Modbus, and ODBC. It also provides redundancy and store-and-forward capabilities to prevent data loss.

Who it's for

Industrial engineers and IT teams needing to bridge OT and IT systems securely and reliably without complex custom coding.

Why it matters

It solves the OT-IT gap by enabling secure, real-time data access across firewalls without creating attack surfaces or requiring VPNs.
