KVM Switchboxes

The Agility IP-Based KVM Switching and Extension system incorporates a management system to scale from a point-to-point extension and switching system to a digital KVM matrix system that works over a local area network (LAN). The iPATH management system controls transmitters, receivers, users, passwords, and access rights over a single IP network.

The Agility system uses standard Ethernet protocol to operate. Since Agility operates over a LAN, it does not need to support encryption; no outside access is granted. The network should support IGMP snooping, which reduces unwanted traffic that would slow down the network.

The channel is a virtual transmitter
In most cases, video, audio, and USB streams will originate from a single transmitter. However, with a management controller, you can arrange for the video and USB streams to come from one source, and audio to stream from another source. You could also have two channels coming from a host computer with different access rights.

Setting up groups.
In order to accommodate potentially large numbers of users and devices, iPATH uses a system of groups: User Groups, Receiver Groups, and Channel Groups. Groups enable the system administrators to apply collective settings to all members, and for those members to benefit from settings and permissions in other groups where appropriate. This benefit saves administrators time.

Active Directory
To streamline administration further, iPATH supports Active Directory. By synchronizing with an LDAP/Acitve Directory server, users details (including usernames, passwords, and group memberships) can be securely synchronized from existing databases. This minimized initial configurations and streamlines ongoing updates.

Administration Rights The admin is able to add, edit, and remove users, passwords, and access rights via the Agility controller unit. The admin can designate a hotkey sequence that users use a login. Once the user is logged in, they are able to see the target computers that are available to them. The admin can see who is actively logged into the system, and also force a user to switch to a computer port.

Description

ServSwitch Secure KVM Switch with USB, EAL2+ EAL4+ Certified/TEMPEST Level I (Level A) Qualified, VGA, 2-Port

• Get a high level of port-to-port electrical isolation, which facilitates data separation (RED/BLACK).
• 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.
• Clear, unmistakable channel selection.
• Non-Flash-upgradable ROM.
• To minimize electronic signaling, no common power supply.
  
  The ServSwitch™ Secure KVM Switch with USB, EAL4+ Certified/TEMPEST Level I (Level A) Qualified, VGA, 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 Black Box Secure KVM Desktop Switches allow a single operator to control up to eight DVI computers from a single workplace using one set of keyboard and mouse and one DVI (or VGA using adapter) monitors. They provide peace of mind knowing that each connection is secure. Options include 2-,4-, or 8-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?/strong>
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.
