What is Cross Domain Solutions?

Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) are a set of hardware and software components that provide a secure way to transfer data between networks operating at different security levels or domains. They are commonly used to share information between classified and unclassified networks, or between networks with different security policies, while mitigating the risk of data leakage or unauthorized access. CDS solutions typically employ security policies, content filtering, and inspection mechanisms to ensure that only authorized data is transferred and that no malicious content is introduced.
