New Product Enhances Security In Satellite Control Center Applications
Colorado Springs, CO (SPX) Jun 24, 2008 RT Logic has reported the successful PL4 (Protection Level 4) C and A (Certification and Accreditation) of the RTGuard Cross Domain Solution product. RT Logic's RTGuard is a cost-effective, low-risk, CDS (Cross Domain Solution). The PL4 C and A allows RTGuard to be quickly deployed in satellite control centers. The system provides secure, bidirectional transfer of control and status information across red/black boundaries for satellite control center applications connected to the AFSCN (Air Force Satellite Control Network) and/or dedicated remote tracking stations. RTGuard offers a transparent, high-assurance CDS for existing and new satellite programs using RT Logic's Telemetrix systems such as the T505 and T508, and newer systems including the T501 and T500GT. "To achieve centralized control and status of remote ground equipment, network-based control and status messages must eventually cross security boundaries," said Rob Andzik, RT Logic's Product Manager for RTGuard. He continued saying, "Past approaches include 'sneaker net,' firewalls, optical isolation, and even waivers that often solve only part of the problem and are no longer the most effective solutions. RT Logic's RTGuard represents a significant leap forward by providing an accredited, low-cost, off-the-shelf solution with direct application in numerous control center environments. RTGuard's turn-key design means that there is little to no impact to existing hardware and software." RTGuard employs a single, proven AFSCN Core Rule-Set to monitor formatted message traffic between security domains. High-performance RTGuard components enable efficient and complete validation of all messages from multiple, concurrent front-end strings. Rule-sets for other message protocols such as scheduling, switch control, and file transfer may be added adjacent to the AFSCN core rule set, thereby creating a full-system guard solution tailored to an individual control center's requirements.
