The Problem

Managing a system of widely dispersed UniGuard and Port Authority unit protection systems can prove a daunting challenge. When a technician requires console access through a remote device he needs a list of these devices.

The Solution

The SSM, Secure Session Manager, can use the DDM database to provide connections to UniGuard/Port Authority units at remote locations from multiple workstations. This eliminates the need to keep a separate list of each unit individually. The system provides only connection information to the technician and blocks out any security functions.

Security

The SSM uses the CDI client encryptors (UniGuard or SSE) to provide FIPS based security to the remote devices. Any DDM security functions are blocked out to the NOC technician allowing only a connection to the device or a reset of a locked up device.
