Neous™ Secure Command & Control Room
Secure Mission-Critical Operations with Uncompromising Standards
Command and control rooms are the nerve center that collects, processes and transfers ever-increasing amounts of information across domains to maintain consistent operations and mission success. From industrial control rooms monitoring a plant’s critical infrastructure to mission command centers in the defense sector, users must interact with cross-domain data effectively and efficiently without introducing data leaks.
HSL’s Neous solution offers a seamless, scalable, and most importantly, a secure solution for command-and-control rooms. This delivers essential benefits: preventing data exfiltration, enabling cross-domain operations, blocking the introduction of malicious code, and protecting sensitive information across networks.
Designed for security from the ground up
HSL’s secure products are NIAP PP4.0 certified, ensuring the highest security standards. These prevent data exfiltration, enable cross-domain operations, block the insertion of malicious code, and protect sensitive information across networks. All control room products are made exclusively by HSL, using a secure supply chain in the USA and are TAA and BAA compliant.
Operational security is the main consideration for HSL during the solution development process. By considering cybersecurity threats such as C2 attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, data leakage, and human error as inevitable occurrences, the product’s end-to-end architecture is designed to segregate networks while maintaining end-user accessibility and ease of use.
What is Neous™
Neous™ is HSL’s secure KVM matrix, designed with end-to-end isolation, and FIPS 140-3 AES 256 CBC compliant encryption with zero-latency.
Scalable Control Room Solutions
Each control room is unique in its purpose and setup, there are common elements typically found in a control room:
- A central video wall
- Workstations divided into teams
- Remote and local data sources (computers, TV, camera feeds, etc.)
- A central director’s station managing the control room
HSL’s scalable Neous™ secure control room solutions are the world’s first using components certified to and compliant with leading security standards like NIAP PP4.0, FIPS 140-3, and 802.1X. These standards apply to local workstation KVM switches, KVM matrices for remote sources, and central video wall controllers
Embedding HSL’s secure hardware infrastructure in high-stakes command and control rooms is essential for operational security, while streamlining workflows and improving situational awareness. Its key security features include:
- NIAP certified Isolators blocking data leakage through video peripherals
- FIPS 140-3 compliant encryption preventing man-in-the-middle hijacking of data and ensuring positive identification between users and sources
- NIAP certified secure switches preventing data leaks through the switching fabrics
- Shared secrets to establish a locked configuration. Adding unauthorized user stations, sources and controllers is not possible.
- 802.1x network access control
All of these together ensure that data will not leak between domains, malicious code will not be introduced, and only authorized users will have access to their permitted data sources.
Why security compliance and certifications matter
Data security standard certifications like NIAP and FIPS are a 3rd-party confirmation that HSL’s products incorporate an uncompromising commitment to high security standards, enhancing the integrity of control operations against various attack vectors.
