Raritan Introduces Raritan Secure Switches to Guard Against Cyber Intrusion

Raritan introduces the new KVM Secure Switch that provides a number of security features for accessing computers in companies, government, military, and intelligence agencies. The new switch protects information by managing access and information transfers based on a computer’s security classification level — ranging from top secret to confidential to unclassified. The switch also provides tamper-resistant and intrusion-detection features.

Unlike other secure switches, a single Raritan Secure Switch can work in an analogue (VGA) or digital (DVI, HDMI) formats such as 4K Ultra HD, high-definition and standard resolutions. This feature will support both new and legacy systems offering the highest levels of desktop security.

Multi-level physical and logical security defences

Raritan Secure Switches provide multiple levels of protection including:

• Strict isolation between computers at different classification levels. When secure switching between computers, data is not buffered and cannot leak from one classification level to another.
• Tamper-resistant features that show visual evidence of physical tampering.
• An intrusion-detection feature that will disable operations if the Secure Switch’s case is compromised.
• Firmware is locked down to prevent unauthorized modification.
• Keyboard data is automatically cleared to prevent transfer or retention.

Availability
The Raritan Secure Switch is available in India in models with two and four ports and with the option of Common Access Card (CAC) authentication. These models support a single DVI-I (digital and analogue) and USB user console — with optional audio from the connected computer.
