SecureOffice Trusted Gateway on Linux
SecureOffice® Trusted Gateway™ is a Cross-Domain Solution application running on the Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 5 (RHEL5) trusted operating system. This application provides rapid, multi-directional transfer of any data type between numerous security levels, such as Unclassified, Secret, Secret Releasable, and Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) networks. Multi-directional transfer of information includes:
- Sending sanitized information from a higher-level network to one at a lower level,
- Moving data from a lower level to a higher level, and
- Moving files laterally across network boundaries.
SecureOffice Trusted Gateway can move one or more files from any level to any level, allowing many high or many low destinations.
SecureOffice Trusted Gateway is a significant upgrade to the Trusted Gateway System (TGS), which has been fielded and operational for almost a decade. SecureOffice Trusted Gateway, now available on RHEL5, continues to provide one-way secure transfers (including bulk transfers) while also supporting multi-directional transfer capabilities. A web-based interface for two-person reliable human review and support for the industry standard Secure Shell (SSH) for file uploads can be customized to meet site and security requirements.
Benefits of SecureOffice Trusted Gateway:
- Low total cost of ownership (TCO) by using commodity hardware and requiring minimal training and maintenance costs.
- a user-friendly web interface that results in a short learning curve, minimizing training and support
- No software installation required for end users
- Increased capacity over other solutions that can move data to one or more approved networks
- Secure movement of any specified data type between differing classification levels and different domains
- Easy configuration to support site security policies with:
- Optional dirty word search or two-person reliable human review on upgrades and downgrades
- Virus scans of all files or exclusion of certain trusted types from scanning
- Built-in security features provided by the RHEL5 operating system, the first secure Linux operating system to achieve Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL4) under the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) against the Common Criteria requirements associated with Cross-Domain Solutions, which include Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP), Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP), and Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
