Cross Domain Solutions
Have you found a secure solution to meet your need to protect information while sharing information securely across domains?
Cross Domain solutions (CDS) focus on the secure access, sharing and movement of various data types of differing security classifications while maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the information. This is accomplished by bringing together different types of hardware and software products such as data diodes, secure operating systems, guards, filters and scrubbers usually having a relatively high level of accreditation performed by government and independent third parties.
BAE Systems Datagate Interactive Link Suite
The Interactive Link product suite allows organizations operating on classified or secure networks to retrieve and access data from less secure networks, and to protect the confidentiality of the classified network. Interactive Link products have been evaluated at the Common Criteria EAL7 assurance level.
Data Diode
The 100Mbps and 1Gbps Data Diode are multimode fibre optic hardware devices that are connected between two servers attached to their respective security domains. The Data Pump Applications, installed on these servers, provide a unidirectional mechanism for transmitting different data types through the Data Diode.
Data Pump Applications
You can adapt the following three basic Data Pump Applications to your organization's specific data transfer requirements.
1.Data Forwarding Application – The real-time transfer of IP Packets from lower to higher classifications in environments where you need to transfer streaming data such as video, audio and sensor data in real-time with minimal latency.
2.File Transfer Application* – The automated transfer of files placed into a specific source directory on the lower classification to a corresponding destination directory on the higher classification.
3.Email Transfer Application* – The automated transfer of email from lower to higher classification. It interfaces with SMTP mail servers, such as MS Exchange, to allow users on the higher classification to receive email from users on the lower classification.
*The File and Email Transfer Applications each have the capability of integrating with third-party content filtering.
