Equipped with the company’s Geospatial eXploitation Products™
(GXP), BAE Systems’ newest guard builds on the proven, reliable XTS
Guard 5 platform. XTS Guard 7 meets the National Security Agency’s
(NSA) recently released National Cross Domain Solution “Raise the
Bar” design and implementation requirements for filtering,
sanitizing, and decomposing data. Raise the Bar (RTB) is a
cyber-security initiative created by the NSA to combat escalating
threats while continually improving the status quo in the
cross-domain community.
“Our product is the guard of choice for Department of Defense
and other Intelligence Community enterprises,” said Douglas Steil,
general manager of Cyber Security Products at BAE Systems. “We
created a superior product predicated on design patterns outlined
by the NSA, and have proven XTS Guard 7’s readiness to deliver
operational success for a number of U.S. government entities and
agencies.”
Built to support the simple plug-in of leading content filters,
XTS Guard 7 offers easy and secure communication with coalition
partner countries. The product’s “STOP” operating system further
enhances security by allowing for data heterogeneity, reducing
vulnerabilities across the architectures defined by the NSA.
XTS Guard 7 protocols include Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), User Datagram
Protocol (UDP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and DSG, which is a persistent socket
proprietary protocol. The product’s architecture can support
multi-enclave and multi-compartment controlled information sharing,
with advanced administration and auditing. It supports up to 28
enclaves or domains, and is compatible with filters or Data Format
Description Language libraries. Additionally, the XTS Guard 7 is
available in a small form factor that handles up to 10 domains for
land, sea, and airborne vehicle deployments.
XTS Guard 7 is operationally cost-effective for customers
upgrading their current architectures and migrating to the
RTB-accredited design patterns. BAE Systems currently offers an
affordable upgrade path for existing and accredited XTS Guard 5
customers to the new XTS Guard 7 platform for customers requiring a
move to the Raise the Bar architecture. The company is the only
vendor to build and offer both the XTS Guard 7 and the
unidirectional data diodes required in RTB solutions.
