Server rooms

Protection against stealing and destroying of digital information

Besides electricity supply and fire protection, mainly three threats can affect the security of server rooms. The first threat comes from electromagnetic attacks. The second one from eavesdropping (i.e. sensitive information leakage) and the third one comes from unintended and careless distortion. (E.g. cell phones or power transformer distort the data processing). We developed highly reliable electromagnetic security solutions for all types of data centers to protect against the theft of information obtained from servers installed in data centers and electromagnetic wave attacks which destroy or cause malfunctions of systems by transmitting strong electromagnetic waves from the area around a data center.

For only USD 1250, - per week criminals/competitors can hire equipment to destabilize or completely erase your servers. Please see this website where you can for example hire or buy EMP blasters and EMP guns. Server rooms emitting radiation contain sensitive information. This information leakage can be received and stolen up to 100 meter from the data center. We can also offer protection solutions against solar storms. Being a one stop shop, Holland Shielding Systems will offer the type of solutions specifically designed to meet your needs.

TEMPEST solutions providing a high level of electromagnetic security for servers and other devices used in data centers.

Holland Shielding Systems is your partner in the design and construction of TEMPEST rooms or buildings we can assist in the zoning and interpretation of the TEMPEST regulations. We also offer full TEMPEST / EMSEC protection with a wide range of Faraday cages and shielded rooms.

Encrypted communication devices are hacked every three years, full protection can only be assured in shielded enclosures.

Customer Benefits:

• Can be applied in new buildings and retrofitting existing buildings
• Compliant to NATO/BSI requirements
• Obstruct mobile phone / cellular communications
• Block out all wireless communication devices
• Protection from bugging attacks
• Quick service and delivery
• Guaranteed Customer Confidentiality

Computers, PC screens and even data lines emit electromagnetic radiation. At a certain range from the emitting source, it is quite easy receiving and decoding this radiation and to re-construct its information. Signals can be picked up with proper equipment from a distance of around 200-300 meters. If the signal captured by a conductive medium (such as a power or telephone line), monitoring can occur over a distance of many kilometers. TEMPEST, Telecommunications Electronics Material Protected from Emanating Spurious Transmissions. EMSEC (for Emissions Security) applications.

Confidential information whether governmental, military or even corporate can be secured with the use of our new developed Mu-copper wall-paper system or our stand alone prefab Faraday cages.

Compliant to the following standards:

• Emsec (for Emissions Security).
• NATO SDIP-27
• NATO AMSG
• USA NSTISSAM
• ASMG 720B, AMSG 788A, AMSG 784, VBV 32000 (B)

The U.S. and NATO Tempest standards define three levels of protection requirements:

NATO SDIP-27 Level A (formerly AMSG 720B) and USA NSTISSAM Level I

"Compromising Emanations Laboratory Test Standard"

This is the strictest standard for devices that will operate in NATO Zone 0 environments, where it is assumed that an attacker has almost immediate access (e.g. neighboring room, 1 m distance).

NATO SDIP-27 Level B (formerly AMSG 788A) and USA NSTISSAM Level II

"Laboratory Test Standard for Protected Facility Equipment"

This is a slightly relaxed standard for devices that operate in NATO Zone 1 environments, where it is assumed that an attacker cannot get closer than about 20 m (or where building materials ensure an attenuation equivalent to the free-space attenuation of this distance).

NATO SDIP-27 Level C (formerly AMSG 784) and USA NSTISSAM Level III

"Laboratory Test Standard for Tactical Mobile Equipment/Systems"

An even more relaxed standard for devices that operate in NATO Zone 2 environments, where attackers have to deal with about 100 m worth of free-space attenuation (or equivalent attenuation through building materials).

NATO SDIP-29 (formerly AMSG 719G)

"Installation of Electrical Equipment for the Processing of Classified Information"

This standard defines installation requirements, for example in respect to grounding and cable distances.

AMSG 799B

"NATO Zoning Procedures"

Defines an attenuation measurement procedure, according to which individual rooms within a security perimeter can be classified into Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2 or Zone 3. This determines which shielding test standard is required for equipment that processes secret data in these rooms.
