“## How do Element Cross-Domain Solutions work? By significantly enhancing information assurance through a controlled interface that enables or restricts access and information transfer between separate domains. To protect the high-side environment, input is typically sanitized through a protocol break and output is protected by authorized monitoring and content scanning. The CDS operates according to bespoke, predetermined security policy which is agreed with the data controller on a case-by-case basis. Typically a CDS is built to specification and embedded within custom hardware. Element works with all cross domain hardware vendors.”
