Security Highlights:
Isolated channels ensure that data is not leaked between secure ports and outside world.
Uni-directional data flow from computer to peripheral prevents eavesdropping attempts through vulnerable devices.
Mechanical, electrical, and optical isolation to prevent hacking and data leaks in environments where security is critical.
Protected firmware keeps intruders from re-programming or reading the firmware.
Keyboard/internal cache wiping.
Chassis intrusion protection.
Equipped with internal anti-tamper switches and Tamper-evident seals.
Use the NIAP 3.0 KVM Protector, DVI-I, Audio, USB, CAC – featured on this page – to lock down and prevent data leakage between classified and unsecure computers through a shared peripheral device. The protector blocks the direct connection between the host PC or laptop and a peripheral device exposed to security threats, such as a printer, projector, speaker or any other peripheral device that shares access with a classified computer or network. The protector ensures that video, USB and audio data flow only from the computer to the peripheral – with no access to other classified or sensitive networks. This single direction data transmission provides a complete isolation of the secure computer, preventing all kinds of intruder attempts via cyber hacking, eavesdropping or device re-tasking.
Install the protector between your peripheral and computer by connecting the video, keyboard, mouse and audio port of the computer to the protector inputs as well as the DVI, keyboard, mouse or audio ports of your peripheral device. Doing this the computer and peripheral is completely isolated from each other.

Broad Secure KVM Switch portfolio for every application and every industry
The Secure KVM Switch range from Black Box is one of the widest in the industry. Different applications and industries have differing requirements of centralized computer access. This portfolio has a suitable solution for every configuration:
- KVM Switches with 2-,4-, 8- or 16- computer ports
- Single User or Matrix Switches with up to four simultaneous users
- 4K digital and analogue video options featuring consoles with up to four monitors
- Multiviewer KVM Switches featuring 4-in-1 displays
- KM Switches with dedicated computer-monitor connections and instant mouse switching
- Single-Port KVM Protector
All certified to the stringent security standard NIAP PP3.0.
Why secure KVM
Connecting peripherals such as keyboard, mouse and speakers to a PC introduces potential data leakage and hacking risks. There are no filters nor is there data detection and protection features between the PC and peripherals using traditional KVM Switches.
Tested and certified to the latest NIAP PP3.0 security profile
Secure KVM Switches are designed for use in secure defense and intelligence applications where sensitive data must be protected. The Secure KVM Switches from Black Box are NIAP PP 3.0 certified and equipped with the highest security features that meet today’s Information Assurance safe control standards. The switches contain unique hardware configurations that prevent data leakage between PCs and connected peripherals that eliminates any potential cyber threat.
Multi-level security for strict information assurance
An absolute isolation of the mechanical, electrical and optical signals including air gapping prevents hacking and data leakage between the ports and outside world. Each port of the Secure KVM Switch uses its own isolated data channels. Upfront switching on another target computer, the KVM switch erases the internal cache and keyboard data to ensure that no residual data remains in the channel. The fixed secure firmware/ROM is non-reprogrammable and keeps intruders from reading, reprogramming via unwanted firmware upgrades, or physically removing.
Always-on Tamper-proof design
The Secure KVM Switches feature active Anti-tamper switches, external hologram tamper-evident seals and a long-life internal Anti-tampering battery. If the cover is removed from the chassis, the KVM Switch becomes inoperable to protect against any attempt of physical intrusion.
Common Access Card (CAC Support)
The Secure KVM Switches are optionally available with a fully advanced and configurable CAC port that supports CAC devices like smart cards and biometric readers. Even further, authenticated admins can register and assign specific peripheral devices to the CAC port. Users can then switch the assigned device along with the KVM switching of the connected computers.
Ultra-fast Switching
Secure Video & Aux emulation allows for ultra-fast switching and restricts discovery of newly connected displays during switching operations this prevents unwanted and unsecure data from getting transmitted between the computers and the display. This shields systems from potential vulnerabilities
Digital and analogue video with secure EDID learn
NIAP PP3.0 certified Secure KVM Switches with DVI-I interfaces support VGA, single link DVI and dual link DVI with native resolutions up to 2560x1600 at 60Hz. Upon activation, the Secure KVM device will quickly and automatically learn or recalls EDID information for specific monitors.
