A cross-domain capability for the Digital Thread. Share data across organizations and classification levels, live or air-gapped, without losing traceability.
SBE Fusion™ uses the same publish, subscribe, and mapping mechanisms as SBE’s standard tool adapters. Cross-organization data follows the same configuration management and provenance rules as everything else in your Digital Thread.
Two SBE Platform instances at different classification levels share Digital Thread data via signed file transfer over a data diode or removable media.
Two organizations on a shared program, such as a prime and a supplier, keep a live, governed connection so each side’s updates are reflected in the other’s environment.
Two air-gapped environments, each with its own enterprise system and SBE Platform instance, stay synchronized: data is normalized on one side, exported, security-scanned, then imported, reviewed, and refreshed on the other.
Choose the approach that matches your network and security requirements.
A direct connection between two SBE Platform instances, authenticated and encrypted over TLS. It opens only when a publish, refresh, or diff is invoked.
No network connection at all. Built for environments that cannot connect directly, most often because they sit at different classification levels.
Only designated data owners on the high side review and merge changes from the low side. Everyone else simply refreshes and gets the latest approved data.
Supports mutual, two-way collaboration and controlled, one-way sharing where only one side should push updates.
Offline mode enables Digital Thread continuity across air-gapped or classification-separated networks without a network bridge.
Offline packages are cryptographically signed and verifiable, and support diff comparisons before changes are applied.
Online communication runs over authenticated, encrypted TLS channels using REST and gRPC, consistent with platform-wide identity and access management.
Origin metadata travels with each data artifact, so the source tool and environment stay identifiable across multiple hops.
Data owners review exactly what is changing and merge only what is needed, rather than a blind overwrite.
SBE Fusion™ inherits the SBE Platform’s existing identity, authentication, and access control framework, so the roles you already configured govern cross-boundary data too.
Security & Scalability →REST and gRPC connections authenticate through the platform’s identity provider, all traffic runs over TLS, and the same role-based authorization applies across the platform.
Packages are signed at creation, verified on receipt, and checked for malicious content and checksum integrity before they are considered safe to ingest into a higher-security environment.
Two companies collaborating in real time, or two networks sharing verified data on a schedule. SBE Fusion™ keeps traceability and control intact either way.
