Assured Information Sharing

Operating in today's coalition-rich environments demands that appropriate data and information can be shared across security boundaries without fear of compromise.

Tresys pioneered the use of Linux for CDS and brings deep expertise to bear on the unique security challenges posed by connecting differing security domains. Tresys has extensive experience in the development of multi-level clients and servers, custom guards, and one-way message transfer devices. Areas of expertise include: specific CDS security requirements (e.g., DCID 6/3, DOD 8500.2, DOD Instruction 8510.01 – DIACAP) for appropriate operating environment / networks (e.g., Top Secret, Secret, and Coalition classifications); operational CDS objectives (e.g., system monitoring, integrity measurement, auditing); administrative role separation and functional/compliance review of CDS applications; and CDS data flows and rules development techniques.

Organizations that require secure connection of multiple security domains can tolerate zero errors or disruption in the handling of highly sensitive information...very few companies can meet that challenge.

Tresys is an industry recognized leader in multilevel security (MLS) and multi single level (MSL; or multi-enclave) security challenges. Coupled with our strong CDS background, Tresys has proven expertise and experience in the development of multi-level clients and servers, the deployment of effective platforms, and support for security policies and rules development. Areas of expertise include: specific MLS/MSL security requirements (e.g., DCID 6/3, DOD 8500.2, DOD Instruction 8510.01 – DIACAP); security requirements for MLS or MSL requirements addressing TSABI (Top Secret/SCI and Below Interoperability), TABI (Top Secret and Below Interoperability), SABI (Secret and Below Interoperability); operational objectives required for system monitoring, integrity measurement, auditing, and administrative role separation; and functional and compliance constraints of MLS or MSL applications.

Proliferation of virus software and/or malware via removable media, such as USB thumb drives and other USB peripheral devices, has exposed the enterprise to yet another attack vector.

Cleansing media in an unobtrusive manner requires the ability to rapidly develop and deploy the tools to catch the attacks, clean infected files, and ensure operations proceed at pace. Tresys understands the mission critical requirements for pragmatic and fast file sanitization. Areas of expertise include: cleansing of multiple file types (e.g., Microsoft Office, imagery formats, compressed files, and text files); proper quarantine of malicious files; auditing; data at rest protection; and cleansing multiple of removable media (including encrypted media).

Mission critical environments need to share information quickly and securely, and they need to do it every time without interruption.

Tresys' deep content inspection and data filtering services are focused on finding and removing steganography and obscured information, removing active code, and scanning/removing meta-data. Services include augmenting existing applications and solutions, developing new content filtering applications, and complete system development - including complete in-line solution development. Coupled with our file sanitization and CDS expertise, Tresys experts deliver solutions that stop the transfer of zero-day exploits and malware while ensuring efficient and rapid transfer of mission-critical data.
