Announcement of "ISS Terminal" PC

On June 18, 2020, Astra Linux Group of Companies and SETERE (Security Technology Research) announced the creation of the Integrated Secure Access Terminal Management System (ISU Terminal PC) software system based on the Astra Linux Special Edition special purpose operating system.

PC "ISS Terminal"

According to the company, the solution is designed to organize remote workstations employee places in compliance with the requirements information security of and in accordance with the recommendations from FSTEC of Russia letter N 240/84/389 dated 20.03.2020. The software package is suitable for commercial companies, state organizations and large backbone enterprises, including entities. critical information infrastructure Security data and channels communications are provided by Astra Linux Special Edition, which as of June 2020 has certificates of all regulators and is compatible with the tools of creation and verification, and, electronic signature anti-virus ON Kaspersky Endpoint Security as well as DR.Web tools. cryptographic protection

The PC "ISS Terminal" has a wide range of capabilities. Among them - creating an image of the OS boot disk according to the specified template in two modes. The first is standard, with a pre-installed package of application software for working with mail and documents. The second option does not include pre-installation of this software and is suitable for using a remote workstation as a "thin client," "terminal" or in "kiosk" mode.

PC "ISS Terminal"

You can configure the base image of the operating system boot disk. You can record the initial default settings: download system distributions, including antivirus, software and the settings required by the user.

It is possible to multithreaded the images of bootable OS disks to such physical media as USB Flash, USB tokens JaCarta, etc., while it is possible to assign unique IDs of issued media to each user, place his personal keys and settings inside the image.

The software package also provides for loading and analysis of system logs of startup sessions of boot images from media issued to users.

PC "ISU Terminal" based on Astra Linux

If the media is lost, has become inoperable, or you need to install an operating system security update, the image of its boot disk along with personalized settings can be reconfigured and overwritten.

Using the ISS Terminal software, you can create pre-configured boot images of a protected operating system for use in physical thin clients, for example, on the TONK TN 1200 platform, as well as on personal computers laptops and with media on Flash disks or/. SSDHDD

The PC "ISU Terminal" on the USB Flash media is loaded on almost any PC or laptop with the x86-64 processor architecture, turning it into a terminal with secure access to the organization's information resources. In this case, the user can only work with the system and application software that is defined by the template specified by the administrator. During the remote connection session, the PC "ISS Terminal," on the one hand, does not affect the user's files and his home operating system, and on the other, excludes the possibility of using any third-party files and programs. If necessary, you can use the Astra Linux Common Edition general purpose OS as the base operating system.

The product has already been tested, as of June 2020, pilot projects for its implementation are underway. At the same time, SETERE specialists are already working on further modernization of the software complex and administrative tools, testing its compatibility with various hardware and software.

The software package developed by us allows us to accelerate the deployment of remote workplaces in the organization, complying with the recommendations of the FSTEC of Russia. For example, using the ISS Terminal PC, you can prepare a thousand terminals based on USB Flash boot media to organize remote work of employees in thin client mode in two to three working days, while performing such a procedure individually for each user (installation and configuration of the operating system, configuration of system and application software, setting personal parameters) can take much longer. said Oleg Ivchenkov, Deputy General Director of SETERE

Automation of employee workplace setup greatly simplifies work and reduces the cost of maintaining the organization's IT infrastructure. The emergence of solutions of this class reflects the real demand of customers for the massive installation of the Astra Linux operating system for user jobs. Moreover, when setting up a "remote" special importance is given to the availability of technical support and ensuring information security. explained Roman Mylitsyn, Director of Innovation, Astra Linux Group of Companies
