CyberUK 2016: Amulet Hotkey PCoIP Zero Clients Certified as Secure by UK Government

May 2016 by Marc Jacob

Amulet Hotkey Ltd. announced at CyberUK in Practice 2016 show, that their PCoIP zero clients have been certified as secure by CESG, the National Technical Authority for Information Assurance within the UK. Amulet Hotkey is the only PCoIP zero client vendor to receive a certification of this type. Amulet Hotkey’s DXZ4 and DXZC PCoIP zero clients combine innovative design and manufacturing to deliver simple, stateless and highly secure clients for both mission and business critical environments.

Amulet Hotkey DXZ4 and DXZC clients have now been formally recognized by CESG, the body tasked with assisting Government Departments with cyber security, as being compliant with their Commercial Product Assurance (CPA) scheme for Remote Desktop at Foundation Grade. This is a result of a joint effort between Amulet Hotkey, Teradici Corporation, Roke Manor Research Test Lab, and CESG to rigorously test against a stringent set of requirements developed to assure security compliance for remote desktop devices in nations such as the UK and US. Achieving approval for use at the “OFFICIAL” level, both the DXZ4 and DXZC are recommended for government and public sector organisations, including government departments, the police, hospitals, emergency response, command and control centres and local councils.

The certification allows government, public sector, as well as security conscious enterprise to enjoy the security and rich desktop experience of Amulet Hotkey PCoIP Zero Clients when connecting to remote 3D graphics workstations or virtual and cloud desktops.

Amulet Hotkey DXZ4 and DXZC Clients provide key benefits including:

• CESG CPA Certification – The DXZ4 and DXZC series of PCoIP Zero Clients running firmware 4.8.0 are certified as secure for Remote Desktop Security Characteristic version 1.0 at Foundation Grade. CESG Certificate number: RDT5722298

• Flexible deployment– The DXZ4 and DXZC support a variety of users across multiple locations connecting to remote physical or virtual 3D workstations, VMware Horizon virtual desktops and applications, or Amazon Web Services Workspaces cloud desktops.

• Mission Critical Design – The DXZ4 and DXZC are engineered for security, reliability, and strict emissions control. The DXZ4 is the only zero client available with redundant network ports for standard RJ45 copper connections, or SFP slots for either copper or fibre modules.

• Extensive Endpoint Security - Only display pixels are sent to the client allowing application data to remain locked down in a secure data centre. No sensitive data reaches the endpoint since there is no Windows or Linux OS to patch or upgrade, no hard drive or application data storage. Many other security features including: unique USB security authorization, smartcard, proxcard and security token support, controlled SSL certificate trust store, 256-bit/128-bit AES and NSA Suite B encryption cyphers feature/menu lockdown options as well as IEEE 802.1x network authentication.

• Exceptional user experience – The DXZ4 and DXZC support dual, quad and octal display configurations for a range of users from mainstream office desktops to the highest performance 3D graphics workstations.

• Lower power – less than 10W at the desktop eliminates heat and noise to improve the work environment while reducing operational cost.
