OPERATION CENTER DESIGN

ENABLE INSTANT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND MITIGATE THE INSIDER THREAT

�� Each desk is hardwired with access to only four of multiple required networks

�� Switching is limited to the four computers hardwired to the desk, not allowing collaboration with other desks or the video wall

�� Cannot share control (Keyboard, Video and Mouse) of a computer required for true collaboration

�� Changing classification level requires the movement of equipment (hours)

�� Desks are cluttered, distracting and resulting in an unproductive work environment

�� Excessive equipment leads to an increase in temperature of the room, resulting in distraction

�� If a computer fails, the desk is considered “down” until IT interrupts to repair the issue

�� Shorter life, lower availability of equipment versus back-racking in a secure IT environment

Obstructs Instant Situational Awareness

Facilitates the Insider Threat

�� Computers and cabling are not properly air-gapped according to IA directives

�� Computers, USB ports, and network ports are located with the user – who is the Insider Threat!

AN ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT THINKLOGICAL... AN ENVIRONMENT WITH THINKLOGICAL...

Enables Instant Situational Awareness

�� Access to any networks, at all levels of classification

�� Access to any collaboration (desks, video walls, conference rooms)

�� Lower the classification level of a room in minutes, not hours

�� Uncluttered, less noise, more productive and e�icient work environment

�� Higher availability, longer life of computers and lower total cost of ownership

�� Less equipment as a result of pooling resources

�� Adaptable and future ready system

�� Full redundancy and resiliency

Mitigates the Insider Threat

�� Computers, USB port, and network ports are not accessible by the user

�� Air gapping requirement moved to the rack room

�� The only matrix switch approved and certified to information assurance accreditations such as NATO, NIAPC, Common Criteria EAL4, US DOD DISA JTIC UCR and Tempest
