Real-World Use Case: Deploying Secure Multi-Domain Access From a single device
In various scenarios, government, Department of Defense (DOD), and military personnel often need simultaneous access to the internet and unclassified information, alongside access to classified mission-critical information via IL5 or IL6 on-premises. To complicate matters, these individuals may also need to access multiple security domains, including the internet or high-threat networks, which would require them to either have an additional physical laptop, or even a second or third government-furnished equipment (GFE) device.
In this real-world use case, we’ll explore how Hypori's recent partnership with Garrison, a security solutions company specializing in hardware enforced (#hardsec) isolation technology for secure browsing, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and other cross-domain access requirements, successfully addresses these challenges. In this scenario, the joint solution empowers a DOD team with secure multi-domain access from their mobile devices while deployed internationally.
The Challenge: During a deployment to “Swaziland,” a DOD team faced an unexpected setback when mechanical problems forced them to change planes, resulting in the loss of their essential equipment, including laptops and communication devices needed to access classified information for their mission.
The Solution: Fortunately, the team overcame this challenge by downloading a secure, virtual GFE application on their GFE mobile devices. This innovative solution provided them with multi-domain access to secure networks from “Swaziland”.
The Benefits:
Fast Access – 1-Click Provisioning: Download the application and enter a one-time password (OTP) to gain access swiftly.
100% Separate, Zero-Trust Virtual Mobile OS Workspaces: Seamlessly switch between different instances and security enclaves (i.e., NIPRNet, SIPRNet) from the same device.
Secure Communications with the Department of Defense Information Networks (DODIN): Ensure reliable and secure communication channels.
Secure Operations Security (OPSEC) Footprint: Prevent classified and unclassified information from being accessed by adversaries.
No Data Spillage: Maintain a secure environment to prevent unintended information leakage.
No Data at Rest on the Device: Uphold a high level of security by ensuring no data resides on the device.
This real-world scenario showcases how cutting-edge technology can provide secure, efficient, and flexible solutions in challenging deployment situations.
Hypori + Garrison Solution
Brian T. Kovalski, Hypori Senior Vice President of Federal, explains the possibilities this joint offering opens for DOD and other Commercial Solution for Classified (CSfC) users, “We’re excited to work with Garrison to provide this innovation joint solution. GFE users will get the access they need while reducing unauthorized data exposure and spillage.”
David Wallick, Garrison Security Consultant says, “We are excited to field the combination of leading-edge, proven, certified, assessed, and authorized technology to bring mobile multi-domain collaboration to the mission.”
