COLOGNE, Germany and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

INFODAS, a leader in cross domain solution, partners with OPSWAT, the leader in

content-based threat protection, to enable secure access solutions for

sensitive domains up to SECRET in public sector and critical infrastructure.

Public sector organizations that handle classified information and want to take

advantage of digitization have to solve three issues. First, they need to

control which data is leaving sensitive domains. Second, they need to make sure

sensitive and non-sensitive domains are separated at all times. Third, they

need to be sure that incoming data from other networks or portable media does

not include dangerous payloads such as ransomware or zero-day attacks. Critical

infrastructure operators face similar issues when connecting operating

technology (OT) with information technology (IT).

By combining INFODAS's unidirectional SDoT Diode or the bi-directional SDoT

Security Gateway with OPSWAT's MetaDefender Kiosk and Vault all of the above

issues are addressed. SDoT cross domain solutions control data flow at all

layers and constantly maintain logical domain separation. They protect what is

inside a system similar to a border control point. MetaDefender and Kiosk check

any data brought in from the outside through an intense scanning and

sanitization process of all data components of by 35+  anti-malware engines.

MetaDefender can also be combined with INFODAS' PATCH.works solution for

automatic patch management of formerly air-gapped systems. Moreover,

MetaDefender Vault is a secure file storage and retrieval solution that

protects critical data and keeps threats at bay. It limits access within an

organization and provides important tracking and auditing information.

All elements of the Secure Domain Transition (SDoT) product family have met the

German Federal Office of Information Security's (BSI) strict requirements for

hardware and software security at the German SECRET and below level. NATO and

EU SECRET approvals were granted as well after in-depth, multi-year

evaluations. This makes it easy to get a solution architecture with

MetaDefender accredited in military, homeland security and intelligence

scenarios and provides military-grade protection level peace of mind for

critical infrastructure information security professionals.

Thorsten Ecke, Managing Director INFODAS is excited about this partnership and

combination of German and US technology. "OPSWAT's and INFODAS' product range

are highly complementary and solve real-world information security issues". Dr.

Alexander Schellong, VP International Business adds "Over the past three years

we have had several clients that asked for this partnership. I am happy that we

have passed all tests successfully and look forward to working with OPSWAT in

Germany and internationally".

Tom Mullen, Senior Vice President of Business Development at OPSWAT is also

excited "As a cybersecurity vendor focused on protecting the public sector and

critical infrastructure we are often asked by customers how they should secure

and control the transport of data analyzed by MetaDefender across security

domains.  We're pleased to recommend SDoT products from INFODAS as providing

effective, certified solutions for both fundamental requirements.  The

integration of OPSWAT MetaDefender and SDoT CDS from INFODAS offers a seamless

solution to control and secure data crossing domains while ensuring data to be

transported does not include dangerous payloads."

Both products are available immediately.
