Remote access for the Federal Armed Forces

The dynamically changing work environment of the Federal Armed Forces requires great flexibility and access to data and applications from any location.

With ECOS Technology, innovative institutions such as the Federal Armed Forces are able to allow the use of private PCs while complying with all requirements imposed by VS-NfD, and EU/NATO-restricted. This ensures highly secure remote access.

Administration efforts and costs are also considerably minimized compared to existing solutions.

Workflow for the Bundeswehr:

Application scenarios of the Federal Armed Forces:

Reservists

In difficult situations or planning of missions, reservists are often recalled to join operations because of their experience and special skills.

Accessing highly sensitive data from a private PC requires a sealed and protected environment for a secure connection.

Operations abroad

During military operations abroad, officers, crews, field officers and mobile observers only have a limited number of PCs at their disposal.

It is therefore crucial to have quick and secure access to authorized data and applications at headquarters from any PC, should the need arise.

Civil-military cooperation

When collaborating with local facilities, it is necessary to access centralized data for hospital resource planning, equipping security forces, or administrative tasks.

In-house equipment is not always available and local infrastructures are a valuable substitute. Such remote access to data requires a secure connection with low bandwidth and minimal hardware requirements.

Balancing duty and family

Part- and full-time home workstations in administration are a great relief for employees to reconcile duty and family life, which translates into higher productivity.

Tight budgets, however, cannot meet the growing demand for service-grade notebooks. Solutions are needed that integrate private PCs while complying with the regulations for processing documents subject to VS-NfD.

Military hospital

Hospitals typically have a very complex infrastructure regarding IT and medical equipment.

To guarantee trouble-free operation around the clock, smooth access for maintenance purposes is essential for both internal IT and external service technicians.

Medical specialists need access to patient files from home as well to prepare diagnostic reports without delay in case of bottlenecks. Protectiong sensititve data is therefore just as crucial as security aspects.
