One of the top concerns government officials and military personnel have with mobile devices is the issue of data security. Government agencies and military units have historically been slow to adopt mobile as a trusted solution for in-office / on-base and in-field operations. However, trusted mobile devices like rugged tablets can be secured with a closed network to provide a secure solution, and deployed throughout a military unit or government organization.
These purpose-built tablets have a high level of flexibility and security, and are housed in a military grade case that provides durability and portability. The result is a rugged tablet capable of delivering exceptional security options to safeguard government and military data while enhancing user experience at every level.
Secure, real time data access is one of the biggest selling points for rugged built tablets for military and government use. The CAC functionality means that cards can be read and access granted at varying levels of clearance, providing an invaluable option for crucial information and data requirements with an extra layer of access security.
If different team members need to use the same tablet on a mission or to work on a sensitive project, user access is built-in on an individual basis. There is no need to reconfigure for each individual; instead, the card reader accurately and dependably allows access based on card information about the user on a case by case basis.
When it comes to additional security, each tablet is equipped with a full complement of encryption capabilities and security suite options which include but are not limited to:
- Lock-down features to protect against malicious attacks, allowing the tablet to be locked or even wiped in case of loss or theft. Instant media blackouts or sanitizations can also be arranged when sensitive information is being transmitted during a time of crisis.
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Software Security provides the latest in device security.
- Device Guard permissions are included for TPM 2.0 supported applications
- Proprietary hardware security, including Bluetooth, RFID and Wi-Fi auto-disable function, and remote radio capability disablement in an emergency
Each DT Research rugged tablet is custom-built for end user satisfaction and efficiency, and designed to both increase productivity and lessen the risk of security issues. This allows the continual development and deployment of tablets which meet demanding MIL-STD-810G parameters, and are IP65 rated – capable of superior vibration, impact, and water resistance, as well as being NIST compliant and operational in extreme temperatures.
Rugged tablets deployed with other secure devices on a secure, closed network can limit risk of security breaches and ensure data is protected at all times, making them ideal for government and military use.
