Patton®… Let’s connect!
GAITHERSBURG, Md. and HERNDON, Va., May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Patton®—American manufacturer of secure networking solutions —en Honesty– a leader in national security software engineering – have joined forces to deliver a revolutionary new 10-Gigabit data diode kit for secure, unidirectional data transmission.
NSA certified security. The secure data transfer solution combines Patton’s NSA-listed 10G SFP Data Diode modules with Probity’s NSA-listed Fastback software. Designed for defense, intelligence, utility and industrial automation environments, the solution eliminates the cost and complexity of traditional diodes.
Hardware meets software. Patton’s rugged 10G SFP modules enforce unidirectional optical data flow, while Fastback software enables orchestration and protocol support.
“Pairing Patton’s US-made 10G data diode SFPs with Probity’s Fastback software provides a deployable, NSA-listed solution with high performance and guaranteed reliability. No proprietary chassis or long lead times,” said Robert Mohr, federal sales director at Patton.
Better together. The combination enables secure transfer of logs, telemetry, files, video and operational information, while preventing reentry paths for cyber threats across trust boundaries.
“Patton’s proven 10G SFP hardware eliminates expensive specialized devices that bring long lead times, rising costs and uncertain supply chains,” says Dave Ryberg, Probity sales director.
Extensive connectivity. The data diode solution provides the industry’s most complete set of interface capabilities and protocol adapters for integrating customer data endpoints (S3, GCP, SFTP, file system, UDP, TCP and SMTP), plus push/pull, streaming and request-driven operation.
Operational excellence. The secure solution supports real-time monitoring, SIEM aggregation, cross-domain export and video transmission of missions. The Patton data diode can be installed directly into standard SFP+ equipment for rapid deployment.
Key benefits of the solution:
- Hardware-enforced security – physical separation in one direction on the optical layer
- 10G performance – supports video, telemetry and large data sets
- Fast implementation – uses standard SFP+ interfaces – no specialized chassis
- Proven integration – Fastback protocol suite enables quick configuration
- Trusted supply chain – Designed and manufactured in the USA with NSA/NCDSMO credentials
Why an NSA Listing is Important to the Industry
- NCDSMO verifies cross-domain security for moving data between trust zones
- Align with CISA guidelines for critical infrastructure protection
- Supports NSA Raise-the-Bar and joint NSA-CISA recommendations
- Helps reduce risk, strengthen segmentation and enable secure data sharing
