Government Secure Switching

Avocent supports the critical, secure activities of government agencies with NIAP Common Criteria certified KVM switching systems.

Today’s government agencies face a serious challenge when it comes to ensuring the security of data at various classification levels. With restricted data residing on separate computers, accessing that data can be a major task. Even though you may have clearance to access data at multiple classification levels, you still must keep the data separate. Plus, switching among two or more computers at different classification levels introduces vulnerabilities to security as well as inefficiencies in productivity.

SwitchView SC KVM switches

The Avocent NIAP-certified SwitchView® SC KVM switching systems are field-proven, secure solutions for government agencies. SwitchView SC KVM solutions allow you to switch safely between computers operating at different classification levels from a single switch, providing continuous access to critical data. With separate I/O processors and 60db separation between channels, the SwitchView SC switch design makes it impossible to transfer data between the connected computers, ensuring data security isn’t compromised.

SwitchView SC KVM switch products are National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria validated to EAL 4 augumented with ALC_FLR.2, meeting the strict security compliance standards set by the government. NIAP is a collaboration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Security Agency. It oversees information technology security standards called Common Criteria – the essence of NIAP testing.
