SwitchView®SC100 & SC200 KVM Switches
Enhance Security at the Desktop
Proven and Secure Access for Any Environment
The Avocent SwitchView SC100 and SC200 KVM switch series offers proven, secure access
for any desktop environment where security is mandatory. With USB Common Access
Card (CAC) reader support (available on the SwitchView SC200 switches), three levels of
physical security, and controlled USB connectivity, you can consolidate multiple workstations
of varying security classification levels with one keyboard, monitor and mouse without
compromising network security.
The SwitchView SC200 switches allow desktop IT administrators to deploy a single CAC
reader that will switch to all computers connected to the switch. (CAC support is required for
all government employees attempting to log in to government systems and is specified in the
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 [HSPD12].)
Both the SwitchView SC100 and SC200 switches include three layers of tamper-proof
hardware security at the desktop. In addition, SwitchView SC100 and SC200 switches ensure
that only USB human interface devices (HIDs) function on target computers by constantly
monitoring all devices attached to the console ports. These switches ignore communication
from non-HIDs (such as flash drives, hard disk drives, cameras and printers) when switching
data to the target. In situations where the only USB port(s) for HIDs are enabled on the target
computer, the SwitchView SC switch will not introduce security vulnerabilities.
The SwitchView SC100 and SC200 switches offer support for USB and/or PS/2 peripherals
and target computers.
SWITCHVIEW SC100 and SC200
SWITCH BENEFITS
•CAC support. USB Common Access Card
(CAC) reader support in the SwitchView
SC200 switch series.
•Software security. U.S designed firmware
allows only keyboard and mouse human
interface devices (HIDs) to switch to the
target computers.
•Three layers of hardware security:
a) Tamper-evident tape: A visual indication
of an attempt to gain access to the
internal components of the switch
b) Chassis intrusion detection: Prevents
malicious tampering with the switch. If
the cover is removed from the switch, the
switch becomes inoperable and the LEDs
flash
c) Locked memory: Prevents tampering
and reprogramming of the firmware
•Secure channels: Two to eight secure
channels
•Clears buffer: Automatically clears the
keyboard buffer immediately after data is
transmitted through the switch, so no data
is ever left in the switch
•NIAP Validation to EAL4+ in process
SwitchView SC100 and SC200 switching solutions provide with three
layers of tamper-proof hardware security. The SC200 switches add
CAC support at the desktop.
