Download Product Brochure

KVMs becoming a target for cyber attacks as they may be the only possible link to bridge between isolated classified networks and networks open to the internet. Many high security organizations adopting secure KVMs as part of their cyber protection strategy, in some cases this effort is not enough. Second-Generation Secure KVMs sold in the market today have documented vulnerabilities that may cause data leakages between connected computers with different security levels.

HSL’s Secure KVM is the industry’s first 3rd Generation Secure KVM. This product offers the highest possible separation between 4 connected computers. The K224 Secure KVM designed to meet the requirements of organizations that are challenged by the need to provide secret or top-secret network access together with unclassified or internet access.

The K200 series KVM uses uni-directional optical data-diodes to prevent any potential leakage between the highly-isolated peripheral channels. This KVM can also be used to securely filter and lock USB ports preventing data export / import through mass-storage devices by hardware.

RDC (Remote Desktop Controller) port enables simple interface with HSL's RDC440 controller. Using the K224 with RDC440 users can control and monitor the Secure KVM remotely and enjoying color LCD with programmeable network/computer names. For more information see RDC440 page.

The K224 supports four isolated host computers and two user displays. Unlike dual-head KVMs this KVM enables independent selection of host for each display. User can select to switch keyboard and mouse between left and right displays.The K224 provides dedicated peripheral port to securely support bi-directional devices such as smart-card reader or touch screen. Product passed extensive security evaluation through all forms of known KVM attacks. Unlike other secure KVMs in the market today HSL KVMs were designed to securely operate with the assumption that two of the connected computers are infected by a hostile code that is constantly trying to attack the KVM.
