What is a data diode?
A data diode is a physical device that ensures data can only flow one way: either in or out, but never both, i.e., unidirectional. This prevents hackers from accessing systems through the connection. This technology is used worldwide in places and systems where maximum security is crucial, such as governments, defense, power plants, and aviation. However, for many, this level of security remained out of reach.
Same protection, now as software
LiveDrop is making this technology available as a software solution for the first time, without compromising on security. That means: no expensive equipment, no complicated integrations, just a smart software solution that can be easily applied, whether for a large enterprise, a smaller organization, or even an individual with sensitive data.
"Hardware data diodes have been the golden standard in data security in the highest circles for years," says Patrick Moreu, CEO of LiveDrop. "We are now making that same protection accessible to everyone, as simple software you can install on your own systems or integrate within existing applications."
For end users and IT partners
LiveDrop's software is designed to be easily added to existing security and anti-malware systems. This makes it attractive both to companies wanting to protect their own systems and to cybersecurity firms and integration partners seeking to offer their customers additional protection.
The LiveDrop software-based data diode will be available from Q2 2025 as:
Software suite for Windows
Mobile app for iOS and Android
SDK for companies wanting to integrate LiveDrop into their own solutions
The technology has already been tested and validated in healthcare, defense, and critical infrastructure sectors.
At RSA, LiveDrop will be present at the Dutch pavilion, booth 954.

Expro Unveils Its Most Advanced Brute ® Packer System for Deepwater Wells
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Expro (NYSE:XPRO), a leading provider of energy services, has launched its most advanced BRUTE ® High-Pressure, High Tensile Packer System, designed to help operators work more efficiently and confidently in the extreme conditions of deepwater wells. Engineered for the highest differential pressures in the market, this new technology gives operators the flexibility to set higher in the wellbore - saving rig time, reducing operational risk, and simplifying regulatory compliance. The introduction of the BRUTE ® Armor Packer marks a major milestone in the continued evolution of Expro's BRUTE ® product line. With unmatched versatility, this innovation positions Expro as the only provider capable of supporting 20k deepwater projects at this level. When deployed with the BRUTE ® 2 Storm Valve, it forms the industry's highest-rated Storm/Service Packer and Valve combination currently available. As a recognized leader in deepwater downhole solutions, Expro was commissioned by a super-major energy company for a high-spec 20k development in the Gulf of America. The inaugural use of the technology confirmed its pressure integrity and performance under extreme downhole conditions resulting in the release and first successful deployment of the 12,850 psid-rated 12.25' BRUTE ® Armor Packer System in April 2025. Building on the successful deployment of the 12.25' Packer System, Expro has also introduced a new 20'/22' Packer System addressing historical challenges of 20' and 22' retrievable mechanical packer systems, often constrained by internal diameter (ID) limitations, such as subsea high-pressure wellhead housings and supplemental casing adapters. Featuring twice the element expansion capability of traditional mechanical packers, the new system delivers efficient, reliable performance for casing testing, suspension, and squeeze applications, all without compromising operational effectiveness. The first deployment of the 20'/22' Packer System recently took place in June 2025, during a high-profile offshore campaign for a super-major operator in the Gulf of America. The packer passed through restrictions in the high-pressure wellhead housing and supplemental casing adapter before being installed in a larger ID below both components. It achieved full element expansion and pressure integrity on the first attempt validating the tool's enhanced expansion capability, enabling efficient casing isolation while reducing rig time and operational risk. Jeremy Angelle, Vice President of Well Construction commented: 'This launch firmly establishes Expro's BRUTE ® Packers as the industry benchmark for deepwater storm and test packers in terms of pressure and tensile strength. The modular toolset provides unparalleled flexibility, making it the most adaptable solution on the market and positions Expro as the partner of choice for next-generation 20k deepwater developments. 'We're not just meeting the industry's toughest standards - we're defining them.' Notes to Editors Working for clients across the well life cycle, Expro is a leading provider of energy services, offering cost-effective, innovative solutions and what the Company considers to be best-in-class safety and service quality. The Company's extensive portfolio of capabilities spans well construction, well flow management, subsea well access, and well intervention and integrity solutions.
