Pitch CDS Gateway

Cross Domain Security for Simulation

Pitch CDS Gateway is a ground-breaking off-the-shelf software for secure, HLA-based distributed simulation. It enables you to control the release of data between two different HLA federations of different security classification. Run exercises between different domains, such as secret, restricted and open. Pitch CDS Gateway is a proxy application that can be used together with different security devices to match your requirements and policies. It also includes powerful tools to monitor and log the data exchange.

Features

Different Assurance Levels

Pitch CDS Gateway enables data to be passed over security devices that support higher or lower levels of assurance. Use data diodes, FPGA based guards for high assurance. Use regular firewalls for low assurance. Depending on the configuration, both low and high assurance requirement can be met.

Release, Obfuscate, Filter and Log

Data release and obfuscation can be controlled using the built-in policy language. It is also possible to use plug-ins for advanced or dynamic filtering. All runtime events and release of information can be logged, as required, for example using standard logging tools like Syslog.

Control Any Simulation Data

Pitch CDS Gateway enables controlled release of data represented using any Federation Object Model (FOM), such as standard FOMs (SISO RPR FOM, NATO NETN FOM, SISO Space FOM, etc), customized FOM or your own tailored FOMs.
