BlueSpace Version 4.0 Supports UCDMO Data Guards
Version 4.0 of Bluespace's MLS 2.0 software suite will be available in September. The core of the release is a new version of the Orchestration Gateway, the patent pending middleware packaged with all MLS 2.0 applications. The Orchestration Gateway communicates with any UCDMO approved data guard to handle all cross domain data transfers using XML. This approach enables customers to use existing guards or deploy a guard of their choice. The data guards have PL4 SABI & TSABI certifications (refer to the UCDMO baseline) and BlueSpace applications deploy as PL2 virtual appliances on each security domain, significantly reducing the C&A risk and timeline. To date, BlueSpace has utilized the AFRL ISSE guard, with plans to extend to Radiant Mercury and others.

MLS 2.0 Simplifies C&A
MLS 2.0 applications are deployed as PL2 single level appliances in each domain greatly simplifying deployment and C&A. PL4 SABI and TSABI certifications are handled by an existing or new UDCMO data guard. MLS 2.0 applications only require certification of the BlueSpace XML schema utilized by the data guard. Both static and state based validation of the highly constrained XML provides for a higher level of assurance than transferring rich content between domains. Read more... |

Sentinel: The Latest Addition to the MLS 2.0 Software Suite
In July, we released our latest MLS 2.0 application, Sentinel. Sentinel integrates with existing network monitoring & management (NMS) applications to provide a high-side view of NMS data - in effect taking the current capability to a multi-level capability. The application uses the Ozone Widget Framework (OWF) to facilitate a user defined operational picture (UDOP) with modularity to integrate with NMS applications from different vendors across security domains. A fused view across the cyber domain is critical in being able to identify attacks and monitor the health of mission critical systems and networks. Read more...
