ATEN Secure KVM Solution
ATEN Secure KVM Switches are specifically designed to enforce stringent desktop security by keeping sensitive assets isolated while providing advanced user data protection and flexible administrative security management features. They are suitable for deployment in any industry that needs to handle sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information, or implement multi-level security on separate networks, such as government and military agencies, healthcare providers, banking and finance institutions, and more.
NIAP Common Criteria Compliant
ATEN Secure KVM Switches are compliant with PSD PP v4.0 (Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device) and PSS PP v3.0 (Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Switch), assuring maximum information security by isolating computer sources and peripherals while sharing a single set of keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, and common access card (CAC) reader between connected computers of various security classifications.
Stringent Security
ATEN Secure KVM Switches (PSD PP v4.0 and PSS PP v3.0) provide key protections including isolation and unidirectional data flow, restricted peripheral connectivity and filtering, user data protection, configurable device filtering and management, and always-on tamper-proof design, which keeps sensitive assets isolated and provides advanced security and a user friendly design for instantly secure deployment.
Multi-layer Security
- Always-on chassis intrusion detection– renders the ATEN Secure KVM Switch series inoperable when physical tampering is detected
- Tamper-evident labels– provides visual indication of any attempt to access the ATEN Secure KVM Switch’s internal components
- Non-reprogrammable firmware– prevents reprogramming the ATEN Secure KVM Switch's firmware
- Restricted peripheral connectivity– non-authorized HIDs (Human Interface Devices), video, or authentication device connections are rejected
- Secure Port Switching– Port selection via pushbuttons / Remote Port Selector (RPS)* to enhance security
- Clear LED Indications– LED indications for peripheral filtering and KVM security status
- Rugged metal enclosure
- Strict audio filtration– protects against audio leakage (PP v4.0 models only)
* The RPS works exclusively with ATEN PP v4.0 Secure KVM Switches.
Data Channel Isolation and Unidirectional Data Flow
- True data path isolation– data cannot be transferred between computers
- The ATEN Secure KVM Switches control and isolate data flow between the console devices and connected computers
- Unidirectional data flow between console devices and the selected computer is ensured
- Supports analog audio (speakers only)
User Data Protection
- The keyboard/mouse data of ATEN Secure KVM Switches is automatically deleted after transmission and automatically purged when the KVM port focus is switched
Security Management
- Supports administrative configuration of CAC Port filtering to accept or reject specific USB authentication devices
- Supports administrative configuration of keyboard/mouse port filtering to reject specific USB HID devices (PP v4.0 models only)
- Provides administrative functions for authorized administrators to audit KVM log data
- The CAC function can be enabled/disabled by port
