Protect Classified Computers With a NIAP-Listed Secure USB KVM Switch By Belkin; Switch Safely Between Computers With This KVM Switch Designed Specifically for Secure Military and Government Installations

Posted on: Monday, 14 August 2006, 12:00 CDT

Belkin's OmniView(R) Secure KVM Switch keeps classified and unclassified computers separate and secure at all times, and prevents data transfer among them. This solution lets government users control multiple USB computers from a single USB console, while ensuring the integrity of their data. The Secure KVM Switch is listed by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), and is pending NIAP Common Criteria validation to EAL 4(a). The Switch will ship in North America in late August, with launches in Asia, Europe, and Australia to follow shortly.

-- OmniView Secure 2-Port KVM Switch (F1DN102U) - $299.99

-- OmniView Secure 4-Port KVM Switch (F1DN104U) - $399.99

The Secure KVM Switch features a dedicated processor per computer port to keep each computer separate and secure. There is no memory buffer or data-storage capability, making it impossible for keystrokes and other data to unintentionally transfer as you switch between computers.

Belkin's Secure KVM Switch is the only secure USB KVM switch designed especially for VGA computers and monitors. It provides full support for all USB keyboards and mice and supports the highest video resolution in its class. A rugged, metal enclosure and compact design allows for desktop or 1U rack-mountable installation(b).
