BAE Systems introduces new programme to protect shared information
BAE Systems has introduced a data guard programme called XTS-400 that allows sensitive information to be shared across secure network boundaries to allow safe collaborative working.
The XTS-400 has received accreditation to Evaluation Assurance Level 5 augmented, which is the highest level of assurance on any system either sides of the Atlantic. This means that users such as the military or the emergency services who need to share information, but who do not all require the same access to data, can access material without time-consuming physical transfers between networks.
After the UK EAL certification was awarded, BAE Systems Programmes Director Mo Stevens said: “XTS-400 allows communities of interest the capability to share any information required, in often intense situations, with a high level of information assurance, thus reducing to a minimum the possibility of data loss. This is a significant step forward in demonstrating UK/US co-operation and interoperability.”
