As the need for security has grown, Black Box has made it a priority to address the concerns of customers for whom security is vital. We have been involved in researching and developing the ServSwitch Secure KVM Switches with USB, and recently obtained EAL4+ certification and Level 1 TEMPEST approval.
ServSwitch Secure KVM Switches with USB enable switching between secure and non-secure networks. The switch provides a common point of access, and because of a number of security features, data is isolated from one network to the other. The KVM switches provide control and separation of up to four PCs through just one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Users can safely switch between four computers operating at different classification levels without worry.

Low-cost rapid PCI compliance using Veri-NAC.<br>
Cybercriminals often target retailers and e-tailers because they think of them as easy targets. Retailers usually have a firewall, anti-virus, IDS, IPS all pointed "outward." But most successful breaches of PCI happen "behind" those devices. These "inside" attacks happen through devices such as wireless routers behind corporate firewalls with hackers spoofing the MAC address of a trust IP asset, such as a bar-code scanner or a cash register. To protect their assets, retailiers need a network access control solution, such as Veri-NAC, that manages these inside attacks.
