Financial institutions now have a heightened layer of protection with the introduction of the 5K PSD PP v4.0 Universal Secure KVM Switch Series by ATEN International. This innovative solution addresses the critical security needs of fast-paced financial environments where operators frequently navigate between trading terminals, internal networks, and customer data platforms.
The new series, certified to the NIAP’s PSD PP v4.0 standard, is specifically designed to enforce hardware-level separation between networks. This separation is crucial in ensuring that sensitive customer information, trading data, and internal systems remain isolated from one another at all times. With the potential for mis-routing and USB-borne threats, the deployment of this technology significantly reduces operational risks.
Enhancing Security and Compliance
According to Nicholas Lin, Senior Vice President of ATEN International, the PSD PP v4.0 Universal Secure KVM Switch Series sets a new standard in secure connectivity. The product combines robust data protection with superior 5K visual performance. “The new 5K PSD PP v4.0 Secure KVM Series provides certified isolation, secure USB control, and clearer system identification to reduce fat finger risks,” Lin stated.
The security features include zero-retention switching, which prevents confidential financial data from lingering between sessions, and secure USB filtration that blocks unauthorized devices before they can pose a threat. These measures are essential for compliance in environments where precision is paramount.
The series supports both DisplayPort and HDMI combo connectors, delivering 5K clarity that enhances the ability of traders and analysts to view multiple data streams simultaneously. The customisable port LED colours and system labels facilitate clear differentiation between various operational networks, further reducing the risk of errors.
Flexible Deployment for Multiple Environments
The ATEN PSD PP v4.0 Universal Secure KVM Switch Series is versatile enough to accommodate both 2-port and 4-port models, with options for Common Access Card (CAC) and non-CAC configurations. This flexibility allows financial institutions to securely manage multiple networks using a single keyboard, mouse, monitor, speaker, and CAC reader, without compromising compliance or performance.
Designed to meet the stringent requirements of the PSD PP v4.0, this series effectively safeguards against unauthorized data flow through unidirectional transmission and hardware-based isolation. Its tamper-proof design ensures that sensitive information remains protected at all times.
As financial institutions continue to face increasing pressure to enhance their security frameworks, the introduction of this new KVM series offers a significant advancement. The combination of enhanced security and improved visual performance positions the ATEN PSD PP v4.0 Universal Secure KVM Switch Series as a critical tool for trading floors, risk teams, back-office operations, and branch networks aiming to safeguard their operations in a rapidly evolving landscape.
