Smart and Secure Classroom

Connecting a screen / smart screen / monitor / projector to your network can enable a deliberate or accidental attack.

Scenario: Screens can have malignant devices embedded in them at some point in the supply chain, prior to installation in the office. They can also become infected by an innocent mistake when a guest device is connected (such as a laptop).

Solution: Prevent an infected screen from contaminating your system using our Blocker Secure Diode which serves as a unidirectional gatekeeping device that enables you to stream video while protecting your network.

Securely switch between multiple PCs on different networks of different clearance levels, preventing information leakage, reducing the amount of equipment and space needed.

Scenario: In a classroom, multiple devices may be connected to the same smart screen: corporate computer (Ethernet/internet), guest device, cameras etc. Any of these can be a source of infection that, without gatekeeping solutions, can infect the entire network.

Solution: Fibernet offers a variety of secure KVM configurations to facilitate secure, smooth, no-delay, switching between devices. Configurations are designed according to the classroom needs: amount of sources, screens and whether or not the sources need to be distanced (computer in the data center connected to keyboard, mouse and monitor in the classroom).     

Prevent the audio speaker / microphone / “Madonna” organizational or individual system from being hijacked and used as a listening device for ambient eavesdropping.

Scenario: Security services and government institutions sometimes have classrooms in which confidential information is taught/discussed. High profile corporations may also have a need to protect intellectual property that is reviewed in smart classrooms. Audio systems are a potential portal of attack via which critical information can be stolen and used maliciously.

Solution:  Fibernet provides unidirectional gatekeeping physical cybersecurity with our Secure Audio 3.5mm solution and our Secure KMA Dongle that has the added feature of a timer that disconnects the microphone after the defined time period, preventing it being accidently left on and recording information it shouldn’t.

Keyboard / mouse /smart (bio) cards are points of potential weak defense. Prevent information leakage at these points when switching between systems / users.

Scenario:
Any peripheral connected via USB port can enable a deliberate or accidental infection of the system, for example when a guest brings a presentation on a disc-on-key (USB) or simply desires to charge a mobile phone.

Solution: Fibernet offers KM/KVM devices that recognize permitted peripherals and utilize unidirectional gatekeeping to enable the desired connectivity while preventing undesired information flow and/or leakage.
