Avocent SC680 Features & Benefits:

• NIAP Common Criteria validated to EAL2+.
• Software Security. U.S. designed firmware: allows only keyboard and mouse human interface devices (HIDs) to switch to the target computers. Devices considered unsecure, such as flash drives or other mass storage devices, cameras and all other USB devices, are strictly prohibited by the switch firmware.
• Physical security:Secure channels: Four fully secure channels isolated to 60db. Safely switch between computers operating at different classification levels ? without compromising network security.
  • Tamper-evident tape: A visual indication of an attempt to gain access to the internal components of the switch
  • Chassis intrusion detection: Prevents malicious tampering with the switch. If the cover is removed from the switch, the switch becomes inoperable and the LEDs flash
  • Locked memory: Prevents tampering and reprogramming of the firmware
• Clears buffer: Automatically clears the keyboard buffer immediately after data is transmitted through the switch, so no data is ever left in the switch
