In today's complex and ever-evolving data landscape, protecting sensitive information is paramount. Black Box NIAP 4.0 KVM switches provide a robust and certified solution for securing access to critical systems in government, military, and other high-security environments. These switches are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) 4.0 Common Criteria certification, ensuring the highest levels of security and isolation. NIAP 4.0 validation confirms that these switches have undergone rigorous testing and evaluation to adhere to demanding security standards, providing users with unwavering confidence in their ability to protect sensitive data.
A cornerstone of NIAP 4.0 compliance is granular device control. Black Box NIAP 4.0 KVM switches empower administrators to define precisely which systems can be connected, preventing unauthorized devices from accessing sensitive systems. This feature guarantees that only approved keyboards, mice, and other authorized/registered devices can be used. These switches incorporate anti-tamper features, including physical pressure switch components to disable the switch if tampered with, along with security seals that deter unauthorized physical access and prevent internal components from being compromised. Any attempt to tamper with the switch is immediately evident, alerting security personnel to a potential breach, while disabling the box completely from functioning. Security is further strengthened via locked-down firmware. This prevents malicious code from being injected into the switch, ensuring the integrity of the device's core functionality.
For enhanced user control and extended reach, the KVSC-16 Keyboard and Mouse Extender Secure Touchscreen Controller offers a unique solution. Featuring an integrated LCD screen, the KVSC-16 allows users to conveniently switch between connected systems while extending keyboard and mouse control up to 100 feet. This functionality is particularly beneficial in environments where users need to access multiple systems from a remote location. The KVSC-16 seamlessly integrates with the NIAP 4.0 KVM switches, extending the secure perimeter while maintaining the high level of security provided by the certified switches. Data protection is further enhanced across the entire system through secure data paths, which are hardware based (data diodes), preventing data leakage and ensuring the protection of sensitive information.
Black Box NIAP 4.0 KVM switches, complemented by the KVSC-16 secure touchscreen panel, provide a comprehensive and certified solution for securing critical workspaces, combining robust access control, physical security, advanced firmware protection, and extended user reach to safeguard sensitive data.
