Frequently Asked Questions
What does NIAP certification mean for our government office's security requirements?
NIAP (National Information Assurance Partnership) certification at EAL2+ ensures the switch meets stringent US and allied government security standards for classified information environments. It is required for certain government and military desktop applications.
Can we use this secure switch alongside commercial KVM equipment, or must the entire system be certified?
The CS1184 is designed for secure government environments and works best within certified infrastructure. Mixing certified and non-certified equipment may violate security protocols; consult your security officer before integration.
What is the purpose of the tamper-evident tape included with this switch?
The tamper-evident tape allows inspectors to verify the switch has not been physically opened or modified since deployment. It is a security audit requirement in government facilities.
Does chassis intrusion detection alert us if someone opens the switch?
Yes, the intrusion detection system monitors the chassis and logs tampering attempts. This provides an additional security layer for high-security environments.
What does restricted non-HID USB connectivity mean for our USB security policy?
Restricted non-HID USB control limits USB functionality to standard Human Interface Devices (keyboards and mice). This prevents unauthorized data transfer through the switch while maintaining normal input device operation.
Are there environmental or operational restrictions for this secure switch?
The CS1184 is designed for secure facility deployment with standard operating conditions. Contact Procure.ae about specific installation or operational requirements for your facility's security clearance.
How long does Procure.ae take to deliver certified secure equipment to our government facility?
Procure.ae supplies certified secure KVM switches across the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis. Lead times for certified equipment may be longer; contact Procure.ae for your facility's delivery estimate.
Does Procure.ae provide certified installation and compliance verification?
