Owl’s accredited, hardware-enforced one-way transfer enterprise solution designed for filtered file transfers.
Secure, Deterministic Cross Domain File Transfer
In intelligence and defense operations, files must sometimes flow from networks of lower security levels to networks of higher security. Specifically, files often must be transferred low-to-high (L2H) from unclassified networks into classified networks, up to Top Secret. In these cases, a reliable and accredited cross domain solution (CDS) must be utilized to ensure validation of the files and the protection of the higher security network.
The OCDS-FT15 is a certified and accredited cross domain solution, which has passed NCDSMO testing and has received authorization to operate (ATO). It was designed as a one-way data transfer solution moving files from unclassified domains to Top Secret networks. The OCDS-FT15 features two servers packaged in a single 1U rack-mountable enclosure – the OCDS-1000 hardware platform.

Key Features
The OCDS-FT15 software is based on a STIG compliant, CLIP enforced, EAL4+ Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) foundation. It’s capable of scanning and file validation filtering to ensure only authorized content is transferred by the dataflows. The OCDS-1000 is a dual-node platform that includes two processing environments separated by Owl’s patented hardware-enforced, one-way transfer diodes. These combined technologies provide dataflow protection for the highest threat environment connections.
