Cloud-Scalable Cross-Domain Solutions for an Evolving Battlefield

The need to transfer information between defense systems is overlaid with the need to restrict information transfer based on security classifications. Information approved for a given security domain should only be transferred to systems authorized for that domain. Cross-domain solutions (CDS) are mechanisms for implementing appropriate transfers based on a defined security policy but reliance on software makes these CDS vulnerable to cyberattacks, while the centralized model limits their usefulness with high-bandwidth, many-sensor data streams. The next generation of CDS will look very different, delivering more security, higher performance, and greater flexibility. Learn about The traditional centralized CDS implementation, downsides, and security vulnerabilities, and how a bookend CDS model using FPGAs that will mitigate cyberattacks.
