German armed forces buy SINA to help
harmonise their C4I systems
[Essen, 25 September 2014] The Federal Office of Bundeswehr
Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support
(BAAINBw) has commissioned secunet to provide several
hundred SINA components. The BAAINBw is procuring the SINA
technology to help with the renewal of crypto components in the
German armed forces' joint C4I system (FüInfoSysSK) as part of
the "HaFIS" harmonisation programme.
The armed forces' C4I systems support and safeguard the preparation,
management and evaluation of national and multinational deployments.
"HaFIS" is a comprehensive programme being implemented by the
German armed forces to harmonise and migrate these systems.
The items to be supplied include the SINA L3 Box H, which is used by
the armed forces – and particularly in their management information
systems – as a virtual private network gateway, and the multisessioncapable SINA Workstation H. These SINA systems are core IT
infrastructure components in high-security networks and they enable
the processing, transmission and storage of classified data up to and
including "GEHEIM", "NATO SECRET" or "MISSION SECRET" level.
The components will be delivered before the end of the current
financial year.
"The order from the BAAINBw for more SINA products attests to our
technological expertise in providing high-quality security solutions for
sensitive infrastructures," said Dr Rainer Baumgart, Chairman of the
Management Board of secunet Security Networks AG. "Our excellent
working relationship with the armed forces and the work we have done
to fulfil their specific requirements have had a significant influence on
the development of our products," he adds with emphasis. "This order
has also enabled us to achieve a key milestone in meeting our annual
targets."
