KVM SOLUTION

KVM becoming a target for networks leakage attacks. Second-Generation Secure KVMs have
documented vulnerabilities that may cause data leakages between hosts having different
security levels.

HSL’s K244E Secure KVM Switch provides the highest
possible isolation between four connected dual-head
computers. This Third-Generation Secure KVM was
designed to meet the requirements of organizations
challenged by the need to provide secret or top­secret network access together with unclassied or
internet access.

HSL Secure KVM switches use unidirectional optical
data-diodes to prevent any potential leakage between
the highly isolated peripheral channels. HSL Secure KVM
switches can also be used to securely
filter and lock USB ports preventing
data export / import through mass-

computers each having two video output with video
interface from VGA to dual-link DVI and HDMI.

The K244E model provides a dedicated peripheral
port to securely support bi-directional devices such as
smart-card reader, biometric device or touch screen.

Remote Desktop Controller (RDC) option enables
comfortable remote control of all KVM functions
through a rotary switch and a graphic LCD.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

• Dual-head support

Support four computers each one two displays. Support any
resolution. Can drive VGA, HDMI single-link and dual-link DVI.

• Unidirectional optical data diodes

Assuring USB peripherals isolation. Data can ow from devices to
host only. No reverse data ow possible by design.

• Smart-Card reader support

Special secured port for smart-card or biometric reader with
patented Freeze function to support user authentication across
multiple isolated networks.

• Future-proof

Supports widest variety of peripherals and computers.
Supports the widest range of video formats from VGA, single­link to 2560x1600 dual-link DVI and HDMI. Supports the latest
keyboards, mice and card readers and all Operating Systems.

• Highest security by design

Designed by an agency to support isolation between national
security networks and internet. EAL4+ certied.

• Hardware Based peripheral protection/isolation

Absolutely no dependency on rmware or software. All rmware
is in ROM (Read Only Memory). No keyboard buffering or
memory.

• Display Plug & Play (DDC) protection

Leakage prevention through patented emulated technology.
Signalling attacks prevented by design.

• Always-on Active Anti-tampering

Enclosure tempering sensed by multiple sensors. Battery
powered anti-tampering circuitry prevents normal KVM
operation.
