Cross Domain Solutions for Classified and Sensitive Networks

Networks that carry classified or sensitive data must remain isolated by policy, but the missions they support still depend on information crossing those boundaries and users reaching across them. Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) close that gap by enforcing security policy at the boundary, controlling what data crosses, in which direction, and who can reach across, so the separation stays intact while the mission moves forward.

Everfox provides a suite of Cross Domain Solutions that enable organizations to move and access data across network boundaries, enforce one-way flow in hardware, strip threats at the point of transfer, and give operators access to multiple networks from a single workstation.

Cross Domain

Access Products

Everfox Cross Domain access products let operators reach multiple networks from a single workstation. Each addresses a different access scenario: on-site, remote, coalition, or hardware-isolated. Deploy one where it’s needed, or layer them to scale with the mission.

Consolidate multiple classified networks to one endpoint

Cross Domain

Transfer Products

Everfox Cross Domain transfer products move data across classification boundaries through content inspection, format validation, or hardware-enforced one-way flow. Each product below is built for a different combination of throughput, data types, and enforcement methods.

Move data across classification boundaries

Threat Protection Products

Everfox threat protection products deconstruct incoming files and rebuild them to known-good specifications, removing threats that signature-based detection cannot catch. Each product below deploys differently: standalone, at the Cross Domain boundary, via API, or as a SaaS integration.

Strip threats before they reach the destination network

Why Everfox

What separates Everfox
in Cross Domain security

  • Access and Transfer, One Vendor

    Portfolio breadth that matches the mission: guard, transfer, hardware-enforced, and multi-network access products from one Cross Domain provider.

  • NCDSMO Baseline Listed

    The broadest NCDSMO baseline-listed Cross Domain portfolio from a single COTS solution provider, designed to work together across a single boundary or an entire architecture.

  • 25+ Years Deployed

    Among the most widely deployed Cross Domain Solutions across Defense, intelligence, civilian federal agencies, Five Eyes (FVEY) partners, and critical infrastructure programs.

Use Cases

What Cross Domain Solutions Make Possible

Cross Domain Solutions support missions where data must cross classification or trust boundaries under policy and without compromise. The same architecture that protects defense intelligence cycles also secures critical infrastructure networks, enables coalition data sharing, and builds the pipelines that move training data into sensitive environments.

Regulated and Global Use Cases

  • Critical Infrastructure Critical Infrastructure and OT Security Operational technology networks stay isolated while sensor telemetry, control system updates, and compliance data cross to enterprise IT with policy enforced at the boundary.
  • Flags Coalition and Partner Data Sharing Allied nations and partner organizations share finished intelligence with releasability enforced at the boundary. Sources, methods, and sovereign data stay protected on each side.
  • Secure Pipelines for AI and Analytics Secure Pipelines for AI and Analytics Training data and models move into sensitive environments while validated outputs flow back to the systems that consume them. Provenance and classification are preserved throughout.

Defense Use Cases

  • ISR Collection and DIssemination ISR Collection and Dissemination Finished intelligence reaches decision-makers faster because collection, analysis, and dissemination cross classification boundaries at network speed.
  • Time-Critical Threat Response Time-Critical Threat Response Sensor data reaches response systems across classification levels before the engagement window closes. Network-speed transfer where seconds determine the outcome.
  • Multi-Domain Workstation Access Multi-Domain Workstation Access One workstation provides access to multiple classified and high-threat networks. Analysts and operators work across authorized domains without switching devices, reducing hardware footprint and increasing operational tempo.

Cross Domain Solutions FAQ

A Cross Domain Solution (CDS) controls how data is accessed, moved, and protected between networks that policy requires to stay separate. A CDS enforces security policy at the boundary, controlling what data crosses, in which direction, and who can reach across, so the separation stays intact while the mission moves forward.

A Cross Domain guard inspects content, applying filters and policy rules before data crosses the boundary. A data diode enforces one-way data flow in hardware, making reverse communication physically impossible. Guards are right for boundaries that need bidirectional transfer with deep inspection and threat protection. Diodes are right for boundaries where no return path can exist. Everfox builds both and often they are paired together for specific operational environments.

Cross Domain access lets a user reach data and applications on multiple networks from a single endpoint without the data leaving its source network. Cross Domain transfer moves data between networks through content inspection, format validation, or hardware-enforced one-way flow. Most mission programs need both. Everfox provides access solutions alongside transfer guards and data diodes under one portfolio.

Defense programs, Intelligence Community agencies, civilian federal departments, FVEY and coalition partner networks, critical infrastructure operators, and organizations running sensitive analytics environments. Everfox Cross Domain products operate from enterprise data centers to tactical edge deployments. Explore Everfox cybersecurity solutions for government and defense.

Yes. Everfox Cross Domain products deploy in enterprise data centers, cloud environments, and tactical environments. Zero Trust architecture addresses trust within and across networks, but it does not replace the classification boundary. A Cross Domain Solution enforces policy at that boundary, controlling what data crosses, in which direction, and in what form, regardless of the underlying infrastructure.

Everfox, formerly Forcepoint Federal, builds on a 25-year heritage in trusted high-assurance cybersecurity. All product capabilities, NCDSMO listings, and customer relationships carried forward under the Everfox name.

A firewall controls traffic between network segments based on ports, protocols, and IP addresses. A Cross Domain Solution enforces security policy at classification boundaries, controlling what content crosses, in which direction, and in what form. A CDS often inspects and validates the data itself, not just the connection carrying it.
