OmniSwitch is the switch of choice to deliver the 零信托网络安全 governments demand.

In today’s high-tech world cybersecurity has become one of the federal government’s most critical concerns — particularly in light of the recent incursions into U.S. 两个州和流氓演员的基础设施. 什么是偷来的潜艇, employee, customer, or taxpayer data, 或者是赎金的控股公司网络, the critical nature of cybersecurity is front and center and with it, the recognition that networks once thought secure — are probably no longer.

For U.S. 政府部门和机构, 使用最安全的设备, 这不仅仅是批评, 但现在是生存的问题. For agencies to continue to operate and to support the missions they are assigned, 网络攻击必须盛装打扮.

In fact, cybersecurity has become so critical, an advanced micro-segmentation, 零信托网络安全 建筑已经成为“黄金标准” LAN networking.

The ALE approach

Fortunately, the 阿尔萨斯-路德-全能的产物家族 这是网络安全的前线, delivering the capabilities required to ensure federal and critical networks have the security required to meet today’s challenges. The OmniSwitch family serves critical needs in civilian and defense networks supporting aircraft landing systems, 核动力装置操作, 关键导航系统和高质量, real-time video surveillance for both security and new operational management models. Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitches have been embedded in federal networks for more than 20 years without a single security incident report. Combined with the OmniSwitch’s extreme durability (confirmed by multiple destructive barge tests), these performance characteristics are just part of the reason the OmniSwitch is JITC Certified, on the Department of Defense (DoD) Approved Product List (APL), 然后解开了 U.S. Navy.

简单就是安全

This is true because simplicity reduces the potential for errors which can leave areas vulnerable. 我们相信建立一个网络会更容易, 更多的自动化已经建立在它的基础上, and the fewer steps or systems needed to support the network, 网络越安全. The OmniSwitch also takes simplicity to the next level with:

• Security by default

•没有软件包用于采购和跟踪

• JITC approved switches

•操作系统和管理模块的保护

• IoT containment for unapproved devices

• 深包检验(ppe)

•单一管理系统

•快速操作

• 短期路径桥梁(SPB)

• Multicast capability with SPB and wire-rate speeds for top-tier video

超越安全标准

The OmniSwitch is designed with a number of capabilities embedded to assure network security. One of the most critical is the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise secure code. Secure code goes above and beyond the required standards with the goal to deliver what may be the most secure switch available today. ALE’s secure code provides independent verification and validation (IVV) with source code analysis, 白色盒子和黑色盒子测试, as well as searching for vulnerabilities in external interfaces by a company specialised in cybersecurity. Additionally, the company performing the validation testing retains the AOS code after validation testing and, over a secure connection, is able to provide the software directly to specific government customers.

Additional security is provided through software diversification. The ALE software implements address space layout randomisation (ASLR). Each switch boot dynamically generates a unique memory layout.

产品也通过美国航空公司安全交付.S. 供给链过程，它指定了OmniSwitch模型 TAA Country of Origin (CoO) U.S. 在U中使用所有可操作的软件.S. -based facility.

这些步骤-独立软件验证, software diversification and secure delivery of software products — which are unique to ALE, bring a new level of security and confidence to network switch standards.

Bringing it all together

The Alcatel-Lucent杂食网络管理 single management system oversees the entire network including data center, edge, wireless and other vendor switches. All ALE switches can be updated with the latest code at the same time with a single action. The OmniVista Unified Policy Authentication Management module is a unified access management platform that includes both a customisable captive portal and a RADIUS server, 以及多种授权方法, 零信任网络架构中的关键.

Many real-time networks that operate in extreme environments, use the OmniSwitch  ‘市场上最严格的开关只有硬开关支持SPB. Today’s federal networks are likely to have multiple locations that require support in extreme environments. The OmniSwitch is a full-featured hardened switch — with all the capabilities of other switches in the network.

Keeping it simple for government agencies means one operating system, one management system, 安全代码和可持续性. 所有这些元素都结合在一起支持你.S. 海军超过两届, 交付总成本的所有权(TCO), with what we believe may be the most secure switch on the market.
