security features
The Belkin Advanced Secure Windowing KVM is the most advanced
and secure commercially available Windowing KVM today. It is based
on Belkin’s line of secure KVM switches, which are commonly used by
different security agencies around the world. The product is equipped
with multiple security and safety features to assure no leakage of
information between connected computers or their peripherals.
unidirectional data Paths
Optical diodes are used to enforce unidirectional data flow from the
peripheral devices to computers, preventing potential leakage paths
between computers even in the severe threat of two infected computers
attacking The Belkin Advanced Secure Windowing KVM.
no shared resources
This product is designed to securely operate even when peripheral
devices are vulnerable to signaling attacks. The Belkin Advanced
Secure Windowing KVM does not allow computer access to any shared
resource and does not share controllable power sources.
no software - Physics-based Peripheral Protection/Isolation
Hardware is used to draw images and process video. The Belkin
Advanced Secure Windowing KVM product does not use a computer,
operating system or software. No software installation is required on
connected computers either.
non-reprogrammable firmware
The product features custom firmware that is not reprogrammable,
preventing the ability to remotely attack the KVM control logic.
usb Ports Protection
Console USB ports are protected from the use of storage and other
unsafe USB devices through strong filtering (independent of computer
protection means). Unqualified devices are rejected when connected to
the product. Only mouse and keyboard data are passed through.
Heavy-duty Tamper-resistant enclosure
The Belkin Advanced Secure Windowing KVM uses thick metal
components to protect the product from physical tampering and to
minimize radiated electromagnetic emissions that can be snooped or
intercepted.
active always - on anti-Tamper
An active chassis anti-tamper system prevents The Belkin Advanced
Secure Windowing KVM electronic circuitry from being accessed and
tampered with by permanently disabling the product once tampering
is detected.
dedicated Processors for emulation
The Belkin Advanced Secure Windowing KVM product features a
dedicated processor per computer port to emulate peripheral devices.
This keeps each computer running on different security levels physically
separated and secure at all times, and prevents any unintended data
leakage between computers.
Please note:
Belkin Secure KVM products cannot be upgraded,
serviced or fixed.
