HIAWATHA, Iowa, Aug. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Crystal Group Inc., a leading designer/manufacturer of rugged computer and electronic hardware, will introduce Crystal Group PASS™ – Platform Agnostic Security Solutions – at the Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DoDIIS) Worldwide Conference in Omaha, Nebraska, August 12 - 15 at the CenturyLink Center. Crystal Group PASS is advanced cybersecurity technology designed for a wide range of computationally-intense, network complex and expanded data storage applications operating in severe environments.

"Global cybersecurity threats are greater than ever, driving the need for secure, rugged and rigorously tested computers, networking gear and storage devices," noted Jim Shaw, Crystal Group's executive vice president of engineering. "Crystal Group PASS provides the defense intelligence community with the operational cybersecurity necessary to protect data in critical computer systems deployed in the most demanding situations, whether in the field, in an office, or positioned in a military vehicle."

Crystal Group PASS includes the world's first rugged FIPS 140-2 compliant data-at-rest storage devices; ruggedized Ruckus ICX switches with NIAP certified IP-security modules for network encryption and Media Access Control Security (MACsec); and exclusively conformal-coated Seagate 2.5", dual-port SAS drives that are compatible with any Crystal Group platform:  server, workstation, and JBOD or RAID storage system.

To further protect data at rest and in motion, Crystal Group manufactures its products in vertically integrated, NIST compliant, AS9100D certified, U.S.-based facilities, tracing every component – from the raw materials through production processes to the delivery of the final warrantied product – to ensure an end-to-end U.S. supply chain of custody and help prevent security vulnerabilities.
