Raytheon has released a much faster, more economical version of its High-Speed Guard powerful cross-domain information-sharing solution for government organizations. Raytheon now offers the industry’s fastest Guard.

Information Security Solutions engineers recently demonstrated the third-generation High-Speed Guard at the 2009 Unified Cross Domain Management Office (UCDMO) Conference in San Diego. Peak performance has been increased 625 percent, to 5 gigabits per second from 800 megabits per second, and hardware costs have been reduced by 75 percent.

Cross-domain solutions distribute information between varied security classification environments, providing effective interoperability and serving as a link to ensure that data maintains sensitivity levels throughout the information-sharing and transmission processes.

“This release is the next major step forward for High-Speed Guard,” said Steve Hawkins, vice president of Raytheon's Information Security Solutions business. “For more than 10 years, Raytheon has been at the forefront of cross-domain technologies to meet our customers' diverse needs, and we continue to be the fastest Guard on the market.”

High-Speed Guard 3.0 successfully passed the first round of certification and accreditation testing with no findings. Raytheon anticipates full accreditation by the end of the year.

Cross-domain information-sharing is part of Raytheon's end-to-end cybersecurity offering, which provides advanced cybersecurity systems to protect customers’ critical information and infrastructures from the most complex threats.
