Edge Network Security solutions

Connected controllers and sensors are redefining operations across cities, bases and battlefields. As the number of devices increase, so does the threat of a cybersecurity attack. Ultra I&C offers certified IT network segmentation equipment to secure data while protecting devices and infrastructure.

FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program), FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002) and HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) requires FIPS-140-2 validated encryption for all cryptographic functions. Ultra I&C’s edge network solutions meet these requirements and more with the following certifications:

  • FIPS 140-2 Level 2
  • Common criteria (NIAP VID #11080 & #11103)
  • Commercial Solution for Classified (CSfC)
  • DoDIN APL
  • WiFi & FCC
  • MIL-STD-810E

Ultra Intelligence & Communications’ Edge Network Security solutions are designed to secure information at the highest level from Defence to Critical National Infrastructure to Commercial Assets. Ultra also provides support services for both architecture and deployment.

CyberFence

  • Single or dual channel configurations, adjustable transmit power
  • Validated by FIPS 140-2, NIAP Common Criteria Network Device Protection Profile, Commercial Secret for Classified (CSfC) and DISA DoDIN-APL to encrypt device information over radio
  • Multiple operating modes
    Client: Ethernet-to-WiFi connection for legacy devices requiring certified encryption
    Access Point: Enforce FIPS 140-2 algorithms for WiFi devices
    Mesh Point: Extend WiFi network range with multiple units for maximum perimeter coverage
    Mesh Access Point: Seamless device network connectivity from anywhere within the Mesh network
  • Risk Management Framework (NIST SP 800-37 Revision 1, DOD 8510.01) and associated control/control interpretations (NIST SP 800-53 Revision 4, CNSSI № 1253) are used for the assessment and authorization of mission systems

WiFiProtect offers uncompromised voice, video, and data communications in stringent and hard to reach environments. It reduces overhead and deployment costs without compromising fail-safe security levels. This is best suited for vast ranges of network topologies and dynamic tactical applications.

Edge Security Module

A standalone COMSEC module ideal for rapid development of secure wired and wireless communication capabilities.

The Ultra's Edge Security Module is designed for easy integration into vulnerable edge-devices, including IoTs, IoMTs, IIoT, without disrupting network operations in critical infrastructure and tactical communications systems used by military, government, and industrial customers.

NIST certifications can take 16 months or more to complete. The Edge Security Module accelerates your development with FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria, and DoDIN APL certified cryptographic functions all self-contained within its own tamper boundary, eliminating any need for recertification.

This includes all CPU, memory, peripheral interface modules, and control circuits for bump-in-wire/stack encryption
