Secure KVM switches protect against cyber intrusion and meet the strict requirements of the latest NIAP Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Devices version 3.0. The Black Box Secure KVM Desktop Switches allow a single operator to control up to four HDMI computers from a single workplace using one set of keyboard and mouse and two HDMI monitor. They provide peace of mind knowing that each connection is secure. Options include 2- or 4-port switches with CAC support. The Secure KVM Desktop Switches protect your sensitive data using the latest technology.
The switches have isolated channels to ensure that data is not leaked between secure ports and the outside world. To prevent eavesdropping attempts through vulnerable devices the switches support uni-directional data flow from computer to peripheral. Mechanical electrical and optical isolation stop hacking and data leaks in environments where security is critical. Plus secure EDID learning prevents unwanted and unsecure data from being transmitted through DDC lines. The Secure KVM Desktop Switches use protected firmware to keep intruders from re-programming or reading the firmware.
Keyboard/internal cache wiping and chassis intrusion protection provide even more security. The Secure KVM Desktop Switches also use anti-tamper switches and tamper-evident seals to shield your confidential data. Why Secure KVM Connecting peripherals such as monitor keyboard mouse and speakers to a PC introduces potential data leakage and hacking risks. Secure KVM Switches are designed for use in any application where sensitive data must be protected including defense government agencies and intelligence. Secure KVM Switches from Black Box are NIAP PP 3.0 certified and equipped with the highest security features that meet today's Information Assurance safe control standards. The switches contain unique hardware configurations that prevent data leakage between PCs and connected peripherals eliminating potential cyber threats.
Multi-level security for strict information assurance
An absolute isolation of the mechanical, electrical and optical signals including air gapping prevents hacking and data leakage between the ports and the outside world. Each port of the Secure KVM switch uses its own isolated data channels. Upfront switching on another target computer, the KVM switch erases the internal cache and keyboard data to ensure that no residual data remains in the channel. The fixed secure firmware/ROM is non-reprogrammable and keeps intruders from reading, reprogramming via unwanted firmware upgrades, or physically removing.
Always-on tamper-proof design
The Secure KVM switches feature active anti-tamper switches, external hologram tamper-evident seals, and a long-life internal anti-tampering battery. If the cover is ever removed from the chassis, the KVM switch becomes inoperable to protect against any attempt of physical intrusion.
Ultra-fast switching
Limiting wait time the Secure KVM switches simulate a generic EDID as default, allowing it to operate most of the connected monitors. Both selected and non-selected computers maintain a constant connection with the unit's video emulation controllers, allowing for ultra-fast switching and restricting discovery of newly connected monitors during switching operations. Upon activating the KVM, the unit will quickly and automatically learn new EDID for specific monitors preventing any potential video compatibility issues.
