The all-in-one solution for a secure workplace on the road and in a home office

What makes a secure workplace? The requirements profiles of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) provide information on how to work securely with classified information or other sensitive data. This requires a holistic security concept that the SINA Workstation fully implements in a BSI-compliant manner. This means that authorities and companies do not have to assemble the components for a secure workstation and VS-compliant operation themselves, nor do they have to have the configuration approved by the BSI. Even companies without VS-NfD requirements benefit from this holistic approach, in which everything from the client to the infrastructure is coordinated: because this maximizes not only security, but also convenience.

A VPN client is considered an indispensable subcomponent of a secure mobile workplace. SINA uses advanced encryption technology to create a secure environment for transmitting sensitive information and classified information over potentially insecure networks such as the Internet. Using an IP-sec secured VPN tunnel, employees can access their company or administrative network with the SINA Workstation while on the move. The data transmission is encrypted to prevent eavesdropping.

All hard disk accesses and network connections are automatically encrypted by the workstation and thus cannot be read by unauthorized persons. This allows you to ensure data security without having to securely lock away the computer after each use.

Access to devices and interfaces is carried out under the control of the SINA security operating system. It has been proven that USB sticks, for example, are a popular gateway for malware. The workstation's interface control regulates the release. This means that, depending on the security policy you have chosen, users must first consciously and deliberately release USB devices before they can be used at all in a working environment such as Windows. In the case of a strict policy, SINA interface control prevents the connection of USB devices altogether.

Two-factor authentication is required to ensure that only authorized users can log on to the computer. The SINA Workstation can only be unlocked if a security token - in the form of a smartcard or USB token - and the corresponding PIN are inserted.

Your devices, including all security components, can be remotely maintained and administered centrally via the SINA Management Center. If all employees have to be sent to the home office and need mobile hardware quickly, the administration tools are also designed for a mass rollout, regardless of location, large numbers of SINA workstations can be set up simultaneously. In the event of a security incident, you can take the entire IT or individual devices offline. The workstation also offers great advantages in "disaster recovery": If the entire IT is to be restarted after a security incident, it may take several weeks until each device is checked and allowed to access your company network again. With the SINA Workstation, this process can be automated remotely, drastically reducing the recovery time.

SINA technology is unique: the user's operating system (such as Windows or Linux) is virtualized and embedded in the SINA security operating system. This means that the working environment is strictly separated from the firmware and hardware - so potential malware cannot spread through it. But the virtualization technology creates even more new possibilities in everyday work: several (different) operating systems with different security levels can be used in parallel on a SINA workstation. For example, classified information can be processed or critical networks and systems can be controlled on one system, while a session for a video conference with external parties is running - strictly separated from this. The strict separation of individual sessions means that other business or even private uses can take place on a device in parallel. Windows and Linux can also be used side by side.
