INFODAS and OPSWAT partnership combines SECRET accredited cross domain solutions with malware protection for mission critical domains
COLOGNE, Germany and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

INFODAS, a leader in cross domain solution, partners with OPSWAT, the leader in 
content-based threat protection, to enable secure access solutions for 
sensitive domains up to SECRET in public sector and critical infrastructure.

Public sector organizations that handle classified information and want to take 
advantage of digitization have to solve three issues. First, they need to 
control which data is leaving sensitive domains. Second, they need to make sure 
sensitive and non-sensitive domains are separated at all times. Third, they 
need to be sure that incoming data from other networks or portable media does 
not include dangerous payloads such as ransomware or zero-day attacks. Critical 
infrastructure operators face similar issues when connecting operating 
technology (OT) with information technology (IT).

By combining INFODAS's unidirectional SDoT Diode or the bi-directional SDoT 
Security Gateway with OPSWAT's MetaDefender Kiosk and Vault all of the above 
issues are addressed. SDoT cross domain solutions control data flow at all 
layers and constantly maintain logical domain separation. They protect what is 
inside a system similar to a border control point. MetaDefender and Kiosk check 
any data brought in from the outside through an intense scanning and 
sanitization process of all data components of by 35+  anti-malware engines.
 
MetaDefender can also be combined with INFODAS' PATCH.works solution for 
automatic patch management of formerly air-gapped systems. Moreover, 
MetaDefender Vault is a secure file storage and retrieval solution that 
protects critical data and keeps threats at bay. It limits access within an 
organization and provides important tracking and auditing information.

All elements of the Secure Domain Transition (SDoT) product family have met the 
German Federal Office of Information Security's (BSI) strict requirements for 
hardware and software security at the German SECRET and below level. NATO and 
EU SECRET approvals were granted as well after in-depth, multi-year 
evaluations. This makes it easy to get a solution architecture with 
MetaDefender accredited in military, homeland security and intelligence 
scenarios and provides military-grade protection level peace of mind for 
critical infrastructure information security professionals.

Thorsten Ecke, Managing Director INFODAS is excited about this partnership and 
combination of German and US technology. "OPSWAT's and INFODAS' product range 
are highly complementary and solve real-world information security issues". Dr. 
Alexander Schellong, VP International Business adds "Over the past three years 
we have had several clients that asked for this partnership. I am happy that we 
have passed all tests successfully and look forward to working with OPSWAT in 
Germany and internationally".

Tom Mullen, Senior Vice President of Business Development at OPSWAT is also 
excited "As a cybersecurity vendor focused on protecting the public sector and 
critical infrastructure we are often asked by customers how they should secure 
and control the transport of data analyzed by MetaDefender across security 
domains.  We're pleased to recommend SDoT products from INFODAS as providing 
effective, certified solutions for both fundamental requirements.  The 
integration of OPSWAT MetaDefender and SDoT CDS from INFODAS offers a seamless 
solution to control and secure data crossing domains while ensuring data to be 
transported does not include dangerous payloads."

Both products are available immediately.
