Aten 4-Port USB HDMI Secure KVM Switch with CAC (PSD PP v4.0 Compliant)

Overview

The ATEN PSD PP v4.0 Secure KVM Switch CS1184H4C is engineered for environments demanding the highest levels of data protection. It meets the National Information Assurance Partnership’s Protection Profile for Peripheral Sharing Device, Version 4.0 standard. By isolating multiple computers of varying security classifications, it enables seamless sharing of a keyboard, mouse, monitor, speaker set, and Common Access Card (CAC) reader without risk of data leakage.

Multi-Layered Security

• always-on chassis intrusion detection that locks down the unit if physical tampering is detected
• tamper-evident labels for visible alerts of unauthorized access attempts
• non-reprogrammable firmware to prevent any unauthorized modification
• restricted peripheral connectivity that rejects unapproved human interface, video, or authentication devices
• manual port selection only via front-panel pushbuttons or Remote Port Selector (RPS) 1 to eliminate remote attack vectors
• LED indicators for real-time status of peripheral filtering and overall KVM security state
• strict audio filtration mechanisms to block any covert audio channels
• rugged metal enclosure for enhanced physical durability

Data Channel Isolation and Unidirectional Data Flow

The CS1184H4C ensures true data path isolation so that no information can traverse between connected systems. Data flow is strictly unidirectional from the console devices to the selected computer, and each switch event fully cuts off connectivity to other ports. Analog audio is supported for speaker output only, with the same unidirectional isolation applied.

User Data Protection

Every keystroke and mouse action is automatically purged once transmitted, with an additional purge triggered on every port-focus switch. This guarantees that no residual user input remains in the switch’s memory, safeguarding against any potential data remnants.

Security Management

Administrators gain granular control over peripheral authorization through comprehensive configuration options:

• filter CAC ports to accept or reject designated USB authentication devices
• restrict keyboard and mouse ports to block specific USB HID devices
• audit KVM log data for security events and policy compliance
• enable or disable CAC functionality on a per-port basis

Superior Video Performance

This secure KVM switch delivers pristine video up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz). ATEN’s Video DynaSync™ technology synchronizes resolutions across different computers, eliminating display corruption during source switching and optimizing the console’s visual output every time.
