SecureView Created to Address Key Challenges

SecureView is a multi-level virtual platform that allows a user to effortlessly run multiple securely isolated environments on one PC or workstation, with hardware-enforced security. The high-performance virtual platform is made possible by extensive development work by the Air Force Research Laborator (AFRL), the open source community, Assured Information Security and NCS.

SecureView:

  • Is a low-cost, multiple-independent levels of security (MILS) workstation-based COTS technology
  • Is based on Type 1 or bare metal client hypervisor
  • Allows single computer to host multiple guest VMs running at different classification levels
  • Addresses a wide variety of use cases

DoD Agencies Are Running SecureView

Government analysts looking for superior, hardware-enforced computer security are increasingly turning to SecureView. These analysts are tired of running multiple PCs at their desk, having to navigate via a clunky KVM switch.

SecureView provides local application execution and concurrent access to multiple security domains. This supports mission requirements, giving analysts the needed performance to run advanced applications, assess threats and share findings across agencies. At last count some 17 Department of Defense-affiliated agencies have deployed the SecureView platform on computers supplied by NCS, HP and Dell. The NCS systems approved for use include the Stratus MT and Stratus DT desktops and the Vortex MT and Vortex MDT workstations.

NCS and SecureView

From a vendor perspective, NCS is a natural home for SecureView focus and expertise.

SecureView 2.1 is available and NCS products will support any memory and processing power requireed for the heavy workloads associated with running many VMs. The NCS development team works extremely closely with component vendors to optimize our hardware solutions - Vortex and Stratus computers -  for SecureView implementations in government. NCS will deliver the exact form-factor needed, right up to full tower dual processor workstations.
