Dedicated to boosting network security and safeguarding data access

Taipei, Taiwan (April 18, 2022) ---ATEN International, the leading provider of KVM and AV/IT connectivity and management solutions, today announces the launch of its new range of PSD PP v4.0 (Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device, Version 4.0) compliant Secure KVM Switches. Tailor-made to meet the stringent security standards certified by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), the new ATEN PSD PP v4.0 Secure KVM Switch series is ideal for highly sensitive applications that demand isolation between different network security enclaves, such as government, military, healthcare, banking, and many more.

Offering the latest in cybersecurity best practices, ATEN PSD PP v4.0 Secure KVM Switches enable operators to control multiple systems using the same set of peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speaker set, Common Access Card reader, etc.) without compromising real-time data visualization and secure collaboration in mission-critical environments. In addition to the protections inherited from the previous version, such as data path isolation and unidirectional data flow, restricted peripheral connectivity and filtering, user data protection, configurable device filtering and management, and always-on tamper-proof design, new features on the PP v4.0 compliant series include:

1. Video quality up to 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz

2. Strict audio filtration to protect against audio leakage

3. Administrative configuration of keyboard / mouse port filtering to reject specific USB HID devices

4. Secure port switching via pushbutton and Remote Port Selector (RPS) to enhance security

5. LED indication to alert of unauthorized connection to USB HID devices

6. Non-CAC (common access card reader) models available for selection

Speaking on the launch of the new NIAP PP v4.0 compliant secure KVM solutions, Nicholas Lin, Senior Vice President of ATEN, commented,” Cybersecurity is becoming a big challenge for individuals, enterprises, and governments alike to address, notably in the age of hybrid work; it is important to us to ensure our solutions offer enhanced functionality above and beyond expectations, and compliance with the latest NIAP protection profile is just one of them.”
