COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The bi-directional SDoT Security Gateway [

https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/security-gateway-ieg-guard/

] received a general SECRET UE / EU SECRET approval from the Council of the

European Union [

https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/institutions-bodies/council-eu_en  ]

after an in-depth second nation evaluation. INFODAS is the only Cross Domain

Solution (CDS) and Cybersecurity vendor in the world with a product portfolio

that holds triple evaluations and approvals for EU, NATO and German SECRET.

SDoT products cover any use-case from data center to deployable edge. As the

flagship SDoT product, the bi-directional data guard controls exchange of

structured and unstructured data to protect EU Classified Information (EUCI) [

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/general-secretariat/corporate-policies/classified-information/information-assurance/

]. The general EU SECRET approval makes it easy for EU institutions, bodies,

offices or agencies and EU Member States to get communication and information

systems (CIS) classified EU SECRET and below that require cross domain data

exchanges accredited by a Security Accreditation Authority (SAA).

In past, IT systems with classified information were physically separated from

other government networks. The European Council's security rules for protecting

EU classified information (EUCI) [

https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/general-secretariat/corporate-policies/classified-information/information-assurance/

]dating back to 2013 do not make clear reference to cross domain solutions but

put emphasis cryptographic products and physical movement of classified data on

electronic media devices. Given the fact that cross domain solution technology

was in its infancy at the time EUCI regulations were written, this is no

surprise. However, the EUCI regulation may now prevent end-to-end digitization

of classified domains and requirements for rapid decision making among EU

institutions and EU Member States. SDoT Cross Domain Solutions enable near real

time classified data sharing as well as fusion between systems and people. They

combine a protocol break with in-depth inspection, transformation and

monitoring of data transfers, ensuring only correct and authorized information

crosses systems at different security levels. Now an IT system classified EU /

OCCAR / EC SECRET can directly interact with systems classified CONFIDENTIEL

UE/EU CONFIDENTIAL, RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED, OCCAR CONFIDENTIAL, OCCAR

RESTRICTED, EC-CONFIDENTIAL and EC-COMMITTEES. Soon, the sneaker-net will be

thing of the past.

All elements of the Secure Domain Transition (SDoT) Product Family [

https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/security-gateway-ieg-guard/

] meet the highest requirements for hardware and software security at the

SECRET and below interoperability level (SABI). They are developed and

manufactured in Germany with full supply chain transparency. They are available

as 19" appliances or deployable sizes for vehicles. Other products include the

SDoT Security Gateway Express [

https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/security-gateway-ieg-guard/

] optimized for near real-time, low latency filtering of structured data such

as XML or JSON. Just like the SDoT Diode [

https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/data_diode/ ]  

for unidirectional data transfer up to 9.1 Gbit/s, both products hold a general

NATO, EU and German SECRET approvals. They are complemented by the SDoT

Labelling Service [

https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/labelling-service-data-classification/

]  for NATO STANAG 4774/8 compliant data classification with XML security

labels that are cryptographically bound to any data object such as MS Office

documents.

For over 10 years SDoT products have been used in the toughest and mission

critical environments around the world. "To maintain product approvals and

increase customer value our team is constantly pushing the boundaries of the

security architecture and functionality. We are looking forward to work with EU

institutions and EU Member States to digitize mission critical domains and make

EUCI data sharing easier", said Dr. Alexander Schellong, VP Global Business.
