Access to console ports on Routers, Firewalls, Network Appliances, etc., cannot be protected by network security when out of band access is required. Secure Out of Band Management and Network security are mutually exclusive events.

The SAM-22 connects directly to console ports and provides the highest level of authentication regardless of the status of the network. This is done by maintaining an internal security database that is updated by a patented central database manager on an “as needed” basis. This internal database provides fast, reliable, AES, two factor authentication. Hardware Client authentication can be enabled by using a SAM-11 or SAM-22 Client(s) at the NOC center.

The SAM-44 has the ability to authenticate RSA tokens on board without needing access to the network. This allows for secure two factor AES authentication over dial-up when the network is malfunctioning.

A standard 10/100 network interface provides in band access to the device supporting real time event logging with telco line status (TLS) and PPP access to remote networks. RADIUS & SYSLOG are also supported.

DDM, Distributed Database Manager, can manage an unlimited number of CDI devices remotely from a single(ODBC) or multiple(SQL) workstations. This eliminates the need to update each unit individually when there is a database change. Audit trail reports are extracted automatically.
