14 DAY TRIAL // The safety and security of information and remote control solutions is extremely important nowadays, and that's exactly the reason why Black Box Corporation has introduced the new range of ServSwitch Secure KVM switches featuring military-grade security, designed to protect sensitive data and preventing electronic snooping. Available in two- and four-port desktop models for both DVI and VGA ports, the ServSwitch Secure KVM Switch with USB is capable of providing control and separation of two to four PCs connected to both secure and non-secure networks through a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
Each of these products offers hardware-based data isolation and protective measures against port-to-port data leakage, further reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Beside the data security, the ServSwitch Secure KVM Switches with USB unit also sport several fail-safe physical security features, including tamper-evident tape on the casing that reveals a broken seal, as well as automatic disabling of the unit in the event of a breach in the physical casing.
It's also interesting to point out that these advanced KVM switches don't support connections to sensitive analog inputs, including computer microphones, for enhanced crosstalk-leak protection.
Also, as an added security feature, only Black Box provides a validation function to check the authenticity of the devices being connected to it at any given moment.
“Other solutions on the market use software-based data isolation technology, which introduces the risk of hacking or malware threats,” said Mike McCurry, ServSwitch Product Manager at Black Box, who also added that “our hardware-based technology eliminates the risk of both intentional and unintentional software corruption that might expose sensitive data.”
Given the fact that we're talking about some advanced, highly secure connectivity solutions, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the new ServSwitch KVM switches are also quite expensive, their pricing ranging between US$475.95 and $749.95, depending on the specific model and the features it provides.
