RTCS also offers cross domain mobility with TTC Remote Access Implementation to enable remote authorized users to access multiple classified or sensitive networks from a laptop in the field. TTC Remote Access Implementation (RAI) boots from an encrypted USB memory stick or SD card. No sensitive data is stored on the device and the software leaves no trace once the memory stick is removed. TTC RAI is the company’s first mobile cross domain solution used by government agencies.

July 9, 2012 - Raytheon announces secure transparent access to worldwide classified networks via the cloud “DC Spanning” enables cross domain access to geographically dispersed networks

DULLES, Virginia – July 9, 2012 – Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions (RTCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN), today announced that Trusted Thin Client® (TTC), is now being used by the Intelligence Community to access classified networks at remote locations throughout the cloud. TTC is a cross domain solution that enables secure access to multiple classified networks and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments from a thin client and single network connection.

TTC consists of client and server software. The server component, or Distribution Console (DC), runs on a server at the data center and allows the TTC clients to securely access user desktops, data and applications from a VDI environment at each network security level (Secret, Top Secret, etc.). DC Spanning enables TTC client access across the wide area network to other DCs in the cloud. This provides immediate access to distant VDI environments at security levels not available locally.

“Placing a DC at each network’s physical point of presence, and connecting all of the DCs through the TTC network, provides users with the ability to connect to remote networks and VDI sessions. This gives them secure transparent access to previously unreachable classified networks worldwide,” stated George Kamis, Chief Technology Officer for Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions.

DC Spanning can also be used to expand the number of network connections provided by a single DC. “If the physical limitation of DC hardware is 12 network interface cards or networks, DC Spanning can increase that to 25 or more while still maintaining the benefits of load distribution and local/regional failover capabilities. Low bandwidth networks, such as tactical and satellite communications are also supported.”

Once the TTC is in place end users will no longer require a separate desktop configuration for each network accessed. TTC provides simultaneous, yet separate, access to the Defence Restricted Network and the Defence Secret Network using one desktop configuration. With this reduction, hardware can be reallocated, reducing the need to purchase new assets. Additionally, end user workspaces are less cluttered and more energy efficient, requiring less wiring, cooling and power to operate.

RTCS develops and deploys a suite of cross domain solutions that enable government agencies to share and access information securely across multiple classified networks at different classification levels. Its certified and accredited solutions help customers protect sensitive and classified information, while ensuring that the right information gets to the right people at the right time.

December 14, 2011 - Raytheon announces commercial availability of High Speed Guard

Company now offers secure, rapid, bi-directional data transfers in a COTS solution

Herndon, VA – December 14, 2011 / PRNewswire / — Raytheon Company’s (NYSE: RTN) High Speed Guard cross domain technology is now commercially available as on off-the-shelf product. High Speed Guard, previously offered as a service, has been on the U.S. Department of Defense’s Unified Cross Domain Management Office baseline list of approved solutions since May of 2010.

“The commercialization of HSG provides significant advantages to customers,” stated Ed Hammersla, chief operating officer for Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions. “Now they can purchase a product license and maintenance contract and will receive all new product enhancements as well as customer support.”

The new HSG 3.0.3 release lowers data center maintenance cost and improves monitoring by enabling consolidated network management. Previously, customers would pay for each additional feature that was added to the product. Now, through commercialization of HSG, customers can benefit from product enhancements at no charge as part of a standard maintenance agreement. Another advantage of commercialization is that HSG will no longer be sold as an appliance. This allows customer’s freedom of choice in selecting a hardware platform on which to run HSG.

High Speed Guard enables complex, bi-directional, automated data transfer from one network to another. HSG has demonstrated transfer rates of more than 9 gigabits per second on dual processor commodity servers, running a hardened Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® operating system with a strict Security Enhanced Linux (SE Linux) policy.

Other cross domain solutions from Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions include:

• Trusted Thin Client® -- which eliminates the need for separate workstations or laptops to access multiple networks at various classification levels.
• Trusted Gateway System™ -- which provides built-in manual review and automatic validations, enabling safe, simultaneous data movement between networks.
• WebShield -- which enables secure web search and browse-down capabilities from high side networks to lower level networks.

June 21, 2011 - U.S. Joint Forces Command Deploys Raytheon's CENTAUR System at Empire Challenge

First system awarded under IDIQ contract delivered to U.S. Central Command

PARIS, France – June 21, 2011 / PRNewswire / -- U.S. Joint Forces Command sponsored the use of a Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) cross-domain and multi-national data sharing capability at this year's Empire Challenge exercise, May 23 to June 3, at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.

The Cross-Domain Enterprise All-Source User Repository (CENTAUR) capability was formally evaluated during the last two Empire Challenge exercises. Since last year's exercise, Raytheon was awarded an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract with a ceiling of $68 million by the U.S. Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) Multi-Service Execution Team Office for CENTAUR. The first order was awarded for delivery to U.S. Central Command. Under the terms of the IDIQ, Raytheon will procure, deliver, install and sustain CENTAUR components throughout a two-year contract ordering period with an additional year for sustainment activities.

"With CENTAUR, U.S. and multi-national forces can operate in a near-real-time, common environment," said Todd Trapp, director of Tactical Intelligence Solutions for Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems. "It can save mission-essential hours and sometimes days depending on the scenario, allowing multi-national forces to securely share valuable intelligence data."

CENTAUR is a suite of products for machine-to-machine, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information sharing between U.S. security domains and multi-national partners' security domains.

Before CENTAUR, if intelligence officials wanted to share information, an analyst had to submit a request via phone to another analyst to create a CD and manually push its content to another domain. Pushing intelligence from one domain to another, between classified and unclassified systems, also means working through a guard that validates whether the transfer can take place by enforcing defined releasability policy. CENTAUR automates this process and enables Web-based queries to electronically transfer information. The Raytheon High-Speed Guard CENTAUR component validates security, ISR information markings and data structure prior to transferring the information between security domains.

A CENTAUR system is currently being used at Fort Gordon, Ga., and other systems are being tested at various domestic and international locations.

April 18, 2011 - Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions Launches Mobile Cross Domain Access Solution to Support Remote Government Workers

Trusted Thin Client^® Multilevel Access Solution Now Available to Remote Government Workers

HERNDON, Virginia – April 18, 2011 – Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions (RTCS), a leading developer of cross domain and cyber security solutions, today announced a new implementation of its Trusted Thin Client^® (TTC) solution to support remote government workers who require secure access to multiple sensitive networks while outside of a traditional office environment. The TTC Remote Access Implementation (RAI) provides field agents and other remote workers a means of securely connecting to back-end networks with no risk of data loss or compromise, while performing their job responsibilities.

The RTCS Trusted Thin Client enables users who require access to information residing on multiple sensitive networks, to work from a single endpoint versus having multiple endpoints connected to each network. Network separation ensures that classified or sensitive data is not compromised by advanced persistent threats or ends up in the wrong hands. The user's endpoint can be a thin client device, a virtual machine within a workstation, and now, with RAI, a virtual machine securely running TTC from a locked down device such as an encrypted memory stick. Data and applications reside solely at the organization's network data center and are accessed, viewed and changed through secure remote connectivity. The solution protects the data and ensures that no evidence of data resides on the system when shut down.

"As government organizations and our military require mobility to fulfill their missions, cross domain solutions are increasingly important to our nation's security," stated Ed Hammersla, Chief Operating Officer for Raytheon Trusted Computer Solutions. "Workers are no longer confined to a desk, but are doing their jobs from home or completing a mission in the field. RTCS' Remote Access Implementation option ensures the same level of security as if one was working from their offices, therefore protecting sensitive and classified information. The desktop image has been demonstrated to fully boot and be useable within 90 seconds so there is no delay in enablement."

July 1, 2010 - Trusted Computer Solutions Receives Patent for SELinux Policy Translation Methodology

Cross Domain Solutions from Trusted Computer Solutions Now Patent Protected in Linux Environments

HERNDON, Va. – July 1, 2010 – Trusted Computer Solutions (TCS), a leading developer of cross domain, operating system and network security solutions, today announced their official receipt of a patent for Security Enhanced (SE) Linux® Sensitivity Label Translation from the US Patent and Trademark Office. The patent application was filed on 29 June 2005 and was issued as US Patent No. 7,657,834 on 2 February 2010. "This five year process has now culminated in a grant of patent rights by the PTO. We are very proud of our excellent researchers and developers who created this significant innovation," stated Ed Hammersla, Chief Operating Officer for TCS. Use this link to access the complete patent.

In order to address the needs of the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) for workstations that could process highly classified data from multiple classified networks, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and The MITRE® Corporation, a federally funded research and development organization founded in 1958, created the Compartmented Mode Workstation (CMW) Labeling: Encoding Format. This software handles encodings for sensitivity labels, information labels, clearances, channels, print banners, and accreditation ranges. CMW systems, such as Trusted Solaris™, use the internal CMW representation for security decisions. As a result, early cross domain solutions, including many from TCS, and other multi-level applications were built using these platforms.

TCS invested a great deal of time and resources into the open development efforts of a trusted version of Linux, known today as SELinux to provide cross domain users with platform choice and the ability to run on a mainstream, open source operating system. SELinux is embedded in the commercially available mainstream operating system known as Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® version 5.

Before the SELinux Sensitivity Label Translation technique was developed, no means existed to readily translate from the internal CMW label representation to an SELinux policy representation, which greatly limited system interactivity. The Sensitivity Label Translation system provides the method to perform this translation, thereby addressing a significant need.

"The receipt of this patent is a result of innovative thinking and technical leadership," stated Hammersla. "All of which contribute to further strengthen our leadership position in cross domain solutions."

April 12, 2010 - Trusted Computer Solutions Partners with Government Computer News to Host Free eSeminar: "The National Security Challenge: Cross-Domain Information Sharing"

Director of the Unified Cross Domain Management Office to Discuss How Agencies are Working to Share Information Across Multiple Secure Networks

HERNDON, Va. – April 12, 2010 – Trusted Computer Solutions (TCS), a leading developer of cross domain and cyber security solutions, today announced that the company has partnered with Government Computer News (GCN) to host a complimentary eSeminar titled "The National Security Challenge: Cross-Domain Information Sharing" featuring Marianne Bailey, Director of the Unified Cross Domain Management Office (UCDMO). The event will take place on Wednesday, April 14 at 2:00 p.m. ET and will be moderated by GCN's Senior Technology Editor, Rutrell Yasin. During this session, Ms. Bailey will discuss the unique challenges facing government agencies as they work together to share critical, but not necessarily classified, national security information.

As recent events such as Northwest Airlines Flight 253 have highlighted, some of the most critical components of the intelligence enterprise lie not in the gathering of information, but in its dissemination. The intelligence community has built numerous models for sharing classified information, including the use of wikis and working groups, but it's now apparent that unclassified information from across the government is also critical in connecting the dots. This eSeminar will outline how agencies are working together to cross the divide and meet the national security challenge. Specifically, the presentation will address:

• How the UCDMO is standing at the nexus of information sharing across the intelligence community
• What processes and best-practices can be established to streamline the flow of information
• The need for real-time information exchanges during critical operations
• How information gathering and information analysis functions can be bridged during a crisis
• Lessons learned for agencies across the government
