Belkin has announced the immediate availability of its NIAP Protection Profile PSS 3.0 certified (listing pending) Universal Secure Keyboard, Video, and Mouse (KVM) switches.
The Belkin Universal Secure KVM offers government agencies and commercial enterprises a solution that merges disparate video signals from DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort sources without resorting to active video converters and without sacrificing resolution or speed.
Agencies looking to deploy secure KVMs into mission-critical systems must contend with interfacing to disparate computer systems and security enclaves, each potentially having a different video graphics interface. Instead of creating a uniform deployment footprint that makes management and operation efficient, agencies are forced to use a wide range of external, Third Party provided signal converters to achieve compatibility, adding significant unbudgeted cost, hampering large-scale deployments, and potentially compromising the user experience.
The new Belkin Universal Secure KVM switch establishes a new paradigm in KVM video support by allowing the same secure KVMs to be used to manage compatibility between disparate systems on every desktop. The plug and play video capabilities built into the Belkin Universal Secure KVMs allow DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort computer sources to work with legacy monitors with DVI or today’s high resolution, DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0 based display solutions.
“Air-gap network segmentation has proven to be a foolproof approach to combat Advanced Persistent Threats to government, defence, and other critical infrastructure networks,” Greg Morrison, Belkin ANZ Country Manager, said.
“As CIOs and CISOs isolate critical servers to prevent breaches, secure KVMs make it easy for operators to efficiently carry out their mission-critical duties without jeopardising the air-gap isolation through shared peripherals. The Belkin Universal Secure KVM offers agencies and enterprises with a high level of security, convenience, control, and now; universal compatibility across common video input types, while significantly raising the bar on video performance.”
