TEMPEST

TEMPEST Level A certification refers to a standard concerned with preventing electronic eavesdropping and securing electronic systems from information leakage via electromagnetic emissions. Products that are TEMPEST Level A certified adhere to the highest level of these stringent security standards, which are primarily defined and required by NATO and various national security agencies.

The certification involves rigorous testing to ensure that devices like computers, monitors, printers, and other electronic equipment do not emit electromagnetic radiation that can be intercepted and used to reconstruct sensitive data. This makes TEMPEST-certified equipment essential in high-security environments such as military facilities, government offices, and anywhere else where safeguarding information is critical.

TEMPEST standards involve several levels of security, with Level A providing the highest degree of protection against electromagnetic eavesdropping. This level is typically required in scenarios where the risk of such interception is deemed extremely high. The design and manufacturing processes of these products often include shielding techniques, emission control measures, and secure cabling to mitigate risks of data leakage.

By using TEMPEST Level A certified products, organizations can ensure that their critical information remains confidential and secure from potential electronic espionage.

Fibersystem has over 50 different TEMPEST-products to prevent interception of information.
