Modernize Access to Secure Government Networks With SecureView
Many government military and intelligence analysts need to routinely access multiple networks of varying security, depending on a work task. Networks are known for the level of security needed or provided. Network examples include the Internet, NIPRNet (private IP network), SIPRNet (classified), and JWICS (top secret). Some agencies use dedicated PCs for specific networking..
The trend, however, is modernization and simplication of the old network-access model. Today, more and more agencies use multiple guest Virtual Machines (VMs) to access different classification levels. These agencies are turning to SecureView for government, developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).SecureView, the multi-level virtual platform, runs multiple securely isolated environments on one PC or workstation, with hardware-enforced security. Designed for power users, SecureView is the result of extensive development work by AFRL, the open source community, Assured Information Security and NCS Technologies.
SecureView is a low-cost, multiple-independent-levels of security (MILS) workstation-based-COTS technology which is based on Type 1 or bare metal client hypervisor. It allows single computer-to-host multiple-guest VMs running at different classification levels.
Hardware Enforced Security
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 Technologies systems approved for use include the Stratus MT and Stratus DT desktops and the Vortex MT and Vortex MDT workstations.
NCS is the leader in SecureViewFrom a vendor perspective, NCS is a natural home for SecureView expertise.
SecureView 2.3 is accredited and qualified to run on NCS desktop and workstation systems. NCS supports the memory and processing power required for the heavy workloads associated with running many VMs. The NCS development team works very 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, from the ultra-compact NUCs right up to full tower dual processor workstations.
