The SuperNet G Series (G2 and G3) is a multi-network workstation that enables a user to access up to 3 networks having different levels of classification from a single, cost effective workstation.
• Reduces PC Footprint
• Eliminates redundant costs
• Security is physically enforced
The SuperNet was awarded Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL 4) certification from the National Security Agency for Sensitive Data Protection and Mandatory Access Controls.
• SuperNet was the first NSA tested design to achieve EAL-4 in the US
• EAL-4 (1-7) means it was Methodically Designed and Methodically Tested
• 10 Year deployment history without a single security incident being reported
• Deployed by the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps , and ANG & ARNG
The SuperNet is strictly a Periods Processor in that only 1 hard drive and NIC are active at any given time, and, therefore, only one network can be accessed at any given time (1 Process).
• It is not a cross domain solution
• It does not require a SABI ticket
• No data can be seen or retrieved between domains
The SuperNet is a standard, ATX design, COTS, workstation that securely performs the functions of up to 3 separate PCs.
• Commercial-Off-the-Shelf Technology (COTS)
• Requires only 1 software license: 1 box = 1 user = 1 license
• Operating System independent
A user's access to the Internet is limited to the unclassified hard drive, physically barring intrusion of the classified domain(s) from the outside.
• Connect (Internet) and Protect (Classified Data)
The SuperNet protects against both the outsider threat and the insider threat.
• Classified data is physically walled off from the Internet
• No Key No Access
• Eliminates “SneakerNet” activity by controlling all media devices
The SuperNets' designed in security measures provide Mandatory Access Controls.
• High security double cut key
• Locked case with a rear security cover (Protects cabling and rear USBs)
• Removable hard drive(s) on the classified side(s) also requiring a key
The SuperNet cuts redundant costs by 50% for the G2 (2-in-1) and by 66% for the G3 (3-in-1)
• Software Licenses
• Redundant Hardware
• Space, Power and Weight
The SuperNet provides both Security and Savings.
• The G2 sells for $2,995
• The G3 sells for $3,495
• The G2R sells for $3,292
• The G3R sells for $3,792
US GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS:
In accordance with the National Security and Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Policy (NSTISSP) No. 11 which states “Effective 1 July 2002, the acquisition of all COTS IA products shall be limited to only those which have been evaluated and validated…for entering, processing, storing, displaying, or transmitting national security information…which has been evaluated by the NSA”, the SuperNet was certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2000 at Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL-4), which means it was methodically designed and methodically tested for Mandatory Access Controls (MAC) and Sensitive Data Protection. In doing so, EES was one of the first 8 companies in the US to undergo NSA certification and the SuperNet was the only product in the US at that time to achieve EAL-4, as no other company got higher than EAL-2.
ENVIRONMENT:
Prior to the SuperNet, the Government used 2 or 3 separate computers per desk with each computer being dedicated to a specific network having different levels of classification (NiprNet-unclassified, SiprNet-classified and JWICS-top secret). The US Government forbids the separation, processing, and storing of unclassified and classified on the same hard drive/computer via the use of software. Thus, the US Government relied on multiple networks with dedicated stand alone workstations to access, protect, process and store National Security Information. As an example, one of our customers is the US Military Sea Lift Command. They deploy, worldwide, IT security vans for port security. Each individual within the mobile trailers had to access 6 separate networks and each required 6 PCs per desk. They replaced those 6 PCs with just 2 SuperNet G3s (3-in-1) and the SuperNet also reduced power consumption and heat-output within those vans by 77% in very tight confines. The SuperNet also cut software license fees by 77% because it is 1 license per box. i.e. 2 vs. 6. The SuperNet provides both Security and Savings.
MANADATORY ACCESS CONTROLS:
Due to the nature of securing classified data and the fact that in excess of 60% (FBI Statistics) of all reported security incidents are from insiders, the US Government requires that either the facility is secured (very expensive infrastructure costs) or the computers be secured to prevent unauthorized access. The SuperNet is the only computer that provides MAC at the EAL-4 level, and it is strictly hardware based. No id, no key, no access to the classified side of the SuperNet. In addition the classified side has a removable hard drive which requires a separate key to lock it in the bay to function. The case is locked down and a rear security cover protects the cables and USB port.
INTERNET ACCESS:
One of the other requirements for the SuperNet is the Internet. The US Government strictly forbids any access from a classified computer onto the Internet. It does not matter how good security software is because it is code and code can be de-coded. The Government's limited solution has been a separate Internet computer “quarantined” out of the classified environment. This creates problems due to the fact that the Defense Messaging System (DMS) is transmitted through the Internet and requires the user to log off a classified computer and change locations to send and receive DMS messages. The SuperNet, however, enables a user in a classified environment to access the Internet and to send DMS e-mails, while absolutely protecting National Security Data on the classified domain(s), and, thereby, eliminating any possibility that a hacker or unauthorized user could enter the SuperNet on the unclassified domain and then have access to a classified network. The SuperNet enables a user to Connect (to the Internet), with the absolute ability to Protect (National Security Information and classified networks). The SuperNet enables a user to be “Connected and Protected.”
PATENTED DESIGN and TECHNOLOGY
The entire SuperNet Computer is patented. Our design is a simple physical solution, not based on software, but based on multiple hard drives with only 1 side active at any given time. This is known as a “period's processor”, 1 side on and all other sides powered off. The SuperNet incorporates a proprietary electromechanical switch (Domain Selector Switch-DSS) that determines which domain is selected. The switch is controlled by a lock requiring a key, and incorporates certain classified features to ensure a proper and complete powering off of one domain before powering up the next domain.
