Government Secure Switching

Avocent supports the critical, secure activities of government agencies with the industry’s only NIAP Common Criteria certified KVM switching system.

Today’s government agencies face a serious challenge when it comes to both accessing and ensuring the integrity of data at various classification levels. Separate computers are used to s tore data at differing classification levels, but for individuals with clearances to access data at multiple classification levels, switching between a number of different computers can be problematic, and introduce security vulnerabilities. Only Avocent’s secure desktop switches eliminate the challenge of readily access information and keeping it secure.

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 the only KVM switches to achieve National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria validation to EAL 4, 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.
