Eaton Tripp Lite series NIAP-certified secure KVM switches

The most vulnerable part of any network is the user access point. That's why federal, military and intelligence agencies around the world have strict requirements regarding the security of KVMs to safeguard data from accidental transfer or unauthorized access. Our secure KVMs meet the high standards for security set by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), so data stays safe and in the right hands.

  • NIAP-certified to meet Common Criteria PP4.0 or PP3.0 security requirements.
  • Superior security and data protection for commercial suppliers and end users in both government agencies and private sector organizations that require highly secure networks.
  • Safely switch between computers with varying classification levels.
  • TAA-compliant for GSA Schedule purchases.

Feature overview

Secure switching

These KVMs allow users to access multiple computers with different security levels from a single console (keyboard, mouse and monitor), protecting data from accidental or unauthorized transfer when switching between systems.

Key

JWICS: Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, a secure computer network used primarily within the intelligence community

SIPR Network: Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), a secure computer network used by the United States Department of Defense and Department of State to transmit classified information

Unsecure Network: For example, a Non-classified IP Router Network (NIPRNet) managed by the US Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and used to exchange sensitive but unclassified information between Government and military users

Physical security

  • Isolated Data Channels in each KVM port make it impossible for data to be transferred between connected computers through the KVM
  • Tamper-Warning Labels on each side of the KVM provide clear visual evidence if the enclosure has been compromised
  • Housing Intrusion Detection causes the KVM to become inoperable and the LEDs to flash repeatedly if the housing has been opened
  • Fixed Firmware cannot be reprogrammed, preventing attempts to alter the logic of the KVM
  • Tamper-Proof Circuit Board is soldered to prevent component removal or alteration
  • Safe Buffer Design doesn't incorporate a memory buffer, and the keyboard buffer is automatically cleared after data transmission, preventing transfer of keystrokes or other data when switching between computers
  • Selective USB Access only recognizes HID USB devices (such as keyboards and mice) to prevent inadvertent and insecure data transfer
  • Push-Button Control requires physical access to KVM when switching between connected computers
