4XJS™

The security of Owl Cyber Defense one-way technology is routed in hardware (the best way) and therefore this one-way state cannot change. This security device provides protection and segregation between the two (or more) networks.

The security of the networks is enforced with the data diode, but some clients also need a way to control the data shared between them:

Generally, XML is used to format data in a standardised and readable way. What this means is that XML can be used for conformity checking, in that if a particular piece of data conforms to the data owners’ expectations (their SCHEMA) it is allowed to perform certain functions.

Many users have already adopted XML as a way of managing and monitoring data and adopt its use to support their release authority and data loss prevention systems. If the data conforms to the owners’ expectations it can be used as intended. If it doesn’t conform it can’t be used, the risk is highlighted, and the data quarantined for further analysis.

4Secure’s TrustedFilter™ XJS software is an XML schema and JSON inspection tool designed to easily integrate with the Owl Cyber Defense data diodes. When installed it maintains the clients’ use of XML schema and JSON inspection between the hardware-enforced one-way link.

This additional inspection capability ensures an enhanced cross-domain solution, capable of providing data loss prevention and a release authority to data flows out of the secure network, or providing assurance and conformity checks to the data entering the secure network. Both preventing data loss or ingression of the wrong data.
