BAE Systems are specialists in Secure Information Solutions and provide unparalleled security solutions in both Defence and business environments.
The Interactive Link suite of products encompasses Secure Connectivity Solutions designed to segregate and protect sensitive and highly valuable information, provide flexible access to less sensitive information, whilst maintaining the confidentiality of critical information assets.
INTERACTIVE LINK PRODUCTS
The Interactive Link product suite is built on the principle of allowing organisations operating on classified or secure networks to retrieve and access data from less secure networks whilst providing absolute protection to 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 2 servers attached to their respective security domains. BAE Systems Australia Data Pump Applications, installed on these servers, provide a unidirectional mechanism for transmitting different data types through the Data Diode.
BAE Systems Australia provides four basic Data Pump Applications that can be adapted for any organisation's specific data transfer requirements. These include:
Data Forwarding Application
Used for the real-time transfer of IP Packets from lower to higher classifications in environments where an organisation needs to transfer streaming data such as video, audio and sensor data in real-time with minimal latency.
File Transfer Application
Used for the automated transfer of files placed into a specific source directory on the lower classification to a corresponding destination directory on the higher classification.
Clipboard & File Transfer Application
Allows user-initiated transfers of data from a lower classification session to a higher classification session. By interfacing with a session's Operating System Clipboard the CFT can transfer text, image and files.
Email Transfer Application
Used for 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.
Keyboard Switch (KBS)
The KBS operates in conjunction with Data Diode and allows a user to access two security domains from a single workstation at the push of a button. The KBS connects to a high side workstation, a low side network and a standard keyboard and mouse. The user can switch the keyboard and mouse between classifications by selecting the appropriate buttons on the KBS.
MCS Ultra
The Multiple Computer Switch (MCS) Ultra
Provides secure access to two completely separate networks from a single desktop. When switched to secure mode, or the 'high side', the MCS Ultra connects the monitor, keyboard and mouse to the secure network PC. When switched to the general, or 'low side' network, the MCS Ultra connects the monitor, keyboard and mouse to the PC on the less secure network. This prevents any data leakage between networks from keyboard and mouse.
MCS Ultra is simple to use and provides secure USB compatibility with no information leakage.
