NIAP PP3.0 certified Secure KVM Switches from Black Box offer a secure desktop access solution to safeguard against cyber intrusion for government/military agencies, finance, healthcare, traffic control and educational facilities alike. The Black Box NIAP PP3.0 certified Secure KVM Switches provide ultra-secure switching between up to 16 standard personal/portable computers, servers or thin clients running operating systems such as Windows or Linux from an ergonomic workspace.

Broad Secure KVM Switch portfolio for every application and every industry
The Secure KVM Switch range from Black Box is one of the widest in the industry. Different applications and industry have differing requirements of centralized computer access. This portfolio has a suitable solution for every configuration:

• KVM Switches with 2-,4, 8- or 16- computer ports
• 4K digital and analogue video options featuring consoles with up to four monitors
• Single User or Matrix Switches for up to four users
• KM switches with dedicated computer-monitor connections and mouse switching
• 4-Port Multiviewer KVM Switch featuring a full screen and a 4-in-1 windowing display
• Single-Port KVM Protector

Secure KVM Switches for a single user console with four DisplayPort monitors
The Secure KVM Switches -featured on this page- support one user console with four DisplayPort monitor (or HDMI monitor through adapter), USB keyboard and mouse, audio from the connected computer and optional CAC-support. All feature tactile front-panel buttons with LED indicators to change the active computer connection in simple and safe way while eliminating the need for unsecure hotkeys.

Why secure KVM
Connecting peripherals such as keyboard, mouse and speakers to a PC introduces potential data leakage and hacking risks. There are no filters nor is there data detection and protection features between the PC and peripherals using traditional KVM Switches.

Tested to the latest NIAP PP3.0 security profile
Secure KVM Switches are designed for use in secure defense and intelligence applications where sensitive data must be protected. The Secure KVM Switches from Black Box are NIAP PP 3.0 certified and equipped with the highest security features that meet today’s Information Assurance safe control standards. The switches contain unique hardware configurations that prevent data leakage between PCs and connected peripherals that eliminates any potential cyber threat.

Multi-level security for strict information assurance
An absolute isolation of the mechanical, electrical and optical signals including air gapping prevents hacking and data leakage between the ports and outside world. Each port of the Secure KVM Switch uses its own isolated data channels. Upfront switching on another target computer, the KVM switch erases the internal cache and keyboard data to ensure that no residual data remains in the channel. The fixed secure firmware/ROM is non-reprogrammable and keeps intruders from reading, reprogramming via unwanted firmware upgrades, or physically removing.

Always on Tamper-proof design
The Secure KVM Switches feature active Anti-tamper switches, external hologram tamper-evident seals and a long-life internal Anti-tampering battery. If the cover is removed from the chassis, the KVM Switch becomes inoperable to protect against any attempt of physical intrusion.

Common Access Card (CAC Support)
The Secure KVM Switches are optionally available with a fully advanced and configurable CAC port that supports CAC devices like smart cards and biometric readers. Even further, authenticated admins can register and assign specific peripheral devices to the CAC port. Users can then switch the assigned device along with the KVM switching of the connected computers.

Ultra-fast Switching
Secure Video & Aux emulation allows for ultra-fast switching and restricts discovery of newly connected displays during switching operations this prevents unwanted and unsecure data from getting transmitted between the computers and the display. This shields systems from potential vulnerabilities

4K digital video with secure EDID learn
NIAP PP3.0 certified Secure KVM Switches with DisplayPort interface support native resolutions up to 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz. They support consoles with four monitors and computers with each four graphic outputs. The connection of HDMI devices requires an optional HDMI to DVI adapter. Upon activation, the KVM switch will quickly and automatically learn or recalls EDID information for specific monitors.
