What Makes Forcepoint High Speed Guard and Trusted Gateway System More Secure?
As cyber threats continue to escalate in scale and frequency it is imperative that solutions continue to stay ahead of the adversary. Raise-The-Bar (RTB) guidelines – led by the NSA and NCDSMO – are meant to do just that, raise the security architecture bar for Cross Domain Solutions beyond even the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls with emphasis on solutions that move (Transfer) data and files between segmented networks.
Forcepoint High Speed Guard specializes in structured rapid, machine-to-machine data transfer with the industry’s fastest transfer rates of more than 9Gb/s and latencies as low as 1.3ms.
This newest version of High Speed Guard v5 introduces a redesigned platform to include:
- Two built-in redundant filtering capabilities, Rule Engine and Filtering Engine, for consistent policy enforcement across all transfer mechanisms
- Enhanced role separation
- Support for Secure boot
Forcepoint Trusted Gateway System specializes in the transfer of unstructured files, such as Microsoft Office and PDF files, facilitating critical information sharing with two-person human review workflow.
The highly enhanced Trusted Gateway System v5 introduces a completely re-architected solution with:
- Improved assurance that compromise of any single process will not pose a significant threat to the overall security of the system.
- More robust filtering and transformation capabilities leveraging trusted and proven 3rd party solutions such as Glasswall, Purifile, Aware and Sophos
- Complies with R.A.I.N. (Redundant, Always Invoked, Independent and Non-bypassable)
