Products Overview
SPI has developed two multi-domain security products, the Sentinel multi-domain computer security product and the MAGIC multi-domain network security product. Both products are examples of the SPI corporate goals for providing enhanced Information Assurance products that also decrease Information Technology acquisition, operations, and support costs.
The Sentinel technology currently has three awarded U.S. patents on the physical apparatus and security processes. MAGIC also has a U.S. patent. Both the Sentinel and MAGIC technologies were recognized by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) as the winner in a competitive $1M bid for the best multi-domain access control solution for Navy PC and network environments.
Sentinel™
SPI developed the Sentinel Computer Security System as a Multi-Domain Security appliance for installation in any PC running any software. The Sentinel also addresses the "Insider" threat, as well as, external threats from hackers and malware. Its security capabilities have been validated by the NIST/NSA National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Validation Process at an EAL 4 assurance level. The Sentinel gives your organization total control of when, where, how, and which employees can access its computers, networks, and files. In addition, the Sentinel provides safe storage and access to valuable information at multiple levels of classification or sensitivity, and enables your organization's computers to connect securely to sensitive and classified networks.
The Sentinel allows an organization to control access to multiple levels of classified and sensitive data and specific data processing resources such as Computer Network Ports, USB Ports, and Portable Media Drives (CD/DVD) based on a policy of “Least Privilege”. This minimizes the threat to secure data from attacks from "Insiders" that slip by physical and administrative security checks. Furthermore, since only ONE computer is needed to protect multiple levels of data, there are significant cost, space, and energy savings over the current practice of using multiple computers to provide multi-domain capabilities by assigning each domain to a separate computer. It is also much less expensive and more secure, user friendly, and efficient than software virtualization solutions that require expensive specialized hardware, software, and new infrastructure to support multiple virtual domains.
MAGIC™
The Multi-Category Access Guardian for Internet Communications (MAGIC) system was developed to control remote access via the Internet to data and data processing systems based on very specific user access rights and data access requirements that are easily defined and can be easily modified and adjusted for new applications. The MAGIC system defines and controls user access rights for up to 256 security levels and 65,535 security categories. It is transparent to database applications, which allows it to be a perfect access control enhancement for legacy databases by enabling new modes of access without risky modifications to the database structure or design.
The MAGIC system is designed for medium assurance applications in the Federal Government and Industry by providing sophisticated access control capabilities for Virtual Private Network (VPN) products and PKI applications. MAGIC is a software based technology that can be used with virtually any modern Operating System including Windows, Unix, and Linux.
