Black Box 4-port Secure KVM Switch VGA U

Combat security threats with this hard-wired KVM VGA switch with CAC support. Channel-to-channel 80-dB crosstalk isolation protects against signal snooping. Permanently hard wired preventing access from one CPU or network to the others. Now listed on NIAP website. The low radiated emissions profile meets the appropriate national requirements. External tamper-evident seals. Provides robust isolation between networks so it's ideal for government applications that access classified networks in addition to public networks such as the Internet. Constructed with a solid metal case and a long-wearing switching mechanism. USB host controller erases entire RAM to prevent residual data remaining on channel. Dedicated DDC bus and EDID memory emulation at each port. Features a Common Access Card (CAC) reader meeting the requirements of the Department of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12). Clear unmistakable channel selection. Non-Flash-upgradable ROM. To minimize electronic signaling no common power supply. The ServSwitch(tm) Secure KVM Switch with USB EAL4+ Certified/TEMPEST Level I (Level A) Certified VGA with Card Reader surpasses the security profiles of most other KVM switches. In addition to its superior hardware-based data-isolation features the switch has been certified for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance to Level 4+ (EAL4+) augmented by ALC_FLR.2 and ATE_DPT.2. The Common Criteria is an international standardized process for information technology security evaluation validation and certification. The Common Criteria scheme is supported by the National Security Agency through the National Information Assurance Program (NIAP). EAL4+ itself defines a common set of tests to evaluate the security of an IT product relating to its supply chain from design and engineering to manufacturing and distribution. The ServSwitch Secure KVM Switch with USB EAL4+ Certified/TEMPEST Level I (Level A) Certified VGA provides control and separation of two PC CPUs/servers connected to secure and non-secure networks through just one keyboard monitor and mouse. Users can safely switch among the connected computers operating at different classification levels without worry. Plus it is TEMPEST USA NSTISSAM Level I and NATO SDIP-27 Level A certified. What this means is the low radiated emissions profile of the switch meets the appropriate requirements for conducted/radiated electromagnetic emissions. The TEMPEST designation is required by military organizations. As a security standard it pertains to technical security countermeasures standards and instrumentation that prevent or minimize the exploitation of vulnerable data communications equipment by technical surveillance or eavesdropping. Also the special Common Access Card (CAC) reader on this switch enhances its functions and gives you even more fail-safe security features. Threats/Solutions Scenarios 1. Prevent data leaking between ports and to the outside world. Threat Microprocessor malfunction or unanticipated software bugs cause data to flow between ports. Solution Unidirectional keyboard and mouse data flow is enforced by hardware"data diodes" so data isolation doesn't rely on software integrity. This makes it impossible for the computer to send data along the keyboard and mouse signaling channel. This advanced design also ensures data isolation through hardware and prevents the keyboard and mouse interfaces from becoming covert computer-to-computer signaling channels because of software holes or unanticipated bugs. In addition keyboard and mouse devices can only be enumerated at the keyboard and mouse ports. Any other USB peripherals such as a USB thumb drive will be inhibited from operating preventing any uploading or downloading of data. Threat Physical proximity between ports enables data leakage. Solution Isolation is improved by placing the red and black ports at the opposite edges of the switch. Threat Accidental port switching. Solution Locked-down operation disables
