INFODAS: SDoT Diode earns NATO and EU SECRET Approval / RSA Conference 2019, San Francisco, USA (FOTO)

Cologne (ots) -

The SDoT Diode from INFODAS GmbH is the only diode in the world
that enables critical and classified systems to securely exchange
data unidirectionally between differently classified domains.
Independent testing laboratories in cooperation with the German
Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) have now confirmed the
very high level of security and granted the SDoT Diode approval to
GERMAN, NATO and EU SECRET. With a data throughput of up to 9.1
Gbit/s, it is currently the fastest diode solution on the market
approved for SECRET. Infodas presented the SDoT Diode to an
international audience at the RSA Conference in San Francisco (March
4th - 8th 2019).

Infodas is proud of this achievement and would like to thank all
involved parties for their trust and continued effort. Prof. Udo
Helmbrecht, Executive Director of the European Network Information
Security Agency (ENISA) and Ammar Alkassar, State Commissioner for
Strategy and Chief Digital Office at the State of Saarland personally
congratulated Thorsten Ecke, Managing Director infodas at the German
Pavilion at RSA Security Conference in San Francisco.

infodas, is a German pioneer in cybersecurity solutions for the
public sector clients since 1974 that works closely with the German
Federal Office for Information Security. The SDoT (Secure Domain
Transition) products solve the challenge of military, intelligence or
critical infrastructure professionals that need to connect and
protect IT systems; or share and protect classified data across
domains from UNCLASSIFIED to SECRET.

SDoT products are used in the most demanding, mission critical and
sensitive operational environments around the world (e.g. navy
vessels, drones, mobile data centers in the desert, weapon systems,
air traffic control, security operation centers and critical
infrastructure (ICS/SCADA)).

In today's data driven world, organizations and systems collect,
process and share data across multiple domains of various
classification or criticality levels. Large amounts of data need to
be transferred in real time with the smallest latency possible. This
data exchange and connectivity introduces differing levels of risk.
However, isolation of critical networks prevents taking advantage of
sharing or receiving data. Despite their current level of
sophistication, firewalls are designed to enable two-way data
exchange and fail to establish robust network separation. In
comparison, data diodes ensure one-way data transmission, protecting
critical networks or data sources from cyber threats. This makes data
diodes ideal for sharing data with highly classified domains (e.g.
satellite pictures, positioning data, telecommunication data), data
replication, sensor and system state monitoring or backup (e.g.
machine/sensor data for predictive maintenance).

Data diodes available on the market today, still use fiber optic
cables for one-way connectivity. This however introduces issues such
as lower speeds, lack of data receipt acknowledgements or the need
for a proxy server. In comparison, the SDoT Diode overcomes these
challenges of traditional data diodes and extends available use-cases
for customers. The SDoT Diode is available for non-EU and NATO
countries.
