Case Study: Nexova Cyber Range in Transinne Equipped with Secure IHSE KVM Systems
Nexova has set a new benchmark for high-quality training facilities and Security Operations Center (SOC) environments in its Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence in Transinne (Belgium). Through collaboration between Nexova (Cybersecurity Solutions Provider), Polymedia Europe (System Integrator), and Intronics, these spaces have been equipped with advanced Secure KVM systems from IHSE. This solution supports cyber training programs and simulations with a strong emphasis on security and operational efficiency.
Project Scope
For this project, three specific areas at the Nexova’s Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence were designed:- Security Operations Center (SOC): A facility accommodating 16 operators focused on crisis management and network monitoring.
- Large training room: Designed for 25 students and 1 instructor.
- Small training room: Designed for 10 students and 1 instructor.
Key Features of the IHSE KVM Solution
The IHSE KVM solution stands out for its reliability, speed, and high-resolution capabilities, making it ideal for applications where every millisecond counts. Below are the key features that made it the preferred choice for Nexova’s training rooms:
- Security:
- Proprietary format codecs and Secure Core matrix technology: Prevents data leaks and unauthorized access while ensuring ultra-low latency.
- Fiber optic connections: Ensure isolated and secure data transport.
- Operational Efficiency:
- Fast switching: Multiscreen control with a single keyboard and mouse for up to 8 sources optimized workflows and user experience.
- Workflow acceleration: Macro keys allow users to easily switch between tasks, replacing the need for a separate keyboard and mouse for each machine.
- Efficient control of classified screens: Operators can manage multiple screens securely with a shared keyboard and mouse.
- Crisis Management:
- LED indicators and audio feedback: Highlight critical screens during emergencies, enhancing response time and situational awareness.
- Modular Solution:
- The system is future-proof and can be easily expanded for new applications.
Seamless Integration with Draco System Designer
Using the Draco System Designer, Intronics optimized the IHSE infrastructure across the three training rooms. The Draco System Designer is a specialized software tool for configuring and planning IHSE KVM systems.
Added Value of Intronics
Intronics’ contribution to the project was characterized by:- Technical Expertise: Intronics provided not only equipment but also integration support, leveraging their detailed knowledge of IHSE systems.
- Proactive Communication: The flexibility and commitment of Intronics ensured the smooth progression of the project.
Conclusion
Thanks to the advanced IHSE KVM solutions, Polymedia’s expertise, and Intronics’ support, Nexova now boasts efficient training facilities with robust security features. Together, these companies delivered a comprehensive solution, with Polymedia also handling the furniture and design of the training rooms. This collaboration demonstrates how tailored solutions and technological innovation can bring complex cybersecurity training environments to life.About Polymedia Europe
