- Germany's IT security specialist genua at the AFCEA trade fair
- Mobile Workstations, Firewalls & VPN Gateways für classification level German VS-NfD
- Data Diode for the Highest Level of Confidentiality "SECRET"
- Virtualized On-Premises & Cloud Solutions
Kirchheim near Munich, May 14, 2025 – genua GmbH, a German IT security specialist, part of the Bundesdruckerei Group and supplier to the German Armed Forces, will present groundbreaking solutions for securing mission-critical and highly sensitive digital infrastructures at the 38th AFCEA trade fair (May 27–28, 2025, Bonn).
Under the motto “Digital Sovereignty – Securing Software Defined Defense with Key Technologies Made in Germany,” genua will demonstrate how organizations in the defense sector and in the industry that requires security of information can significantly increase the flexibility and resilience of their IT with both hardware-based and virtualized, on-premises and cloud-enabled IT security solutions.
Expert Presentation on Securing Software Defined Defence
In keeping with the main topic, Arnold Krille, genua GmbH, and Dr. Alexander Koenen, Xecuro GmbH, both companies of the Bundesdruckerei Group, will present reliable security solutions for software-defined defense infrastructures in their presentation "Digital Fortresses: The Future of Security with Software Defined Defense and Secure Infrastructures" (May 27, 5:05 p.m., Addis Ababa 3 lecture hall).
At the genua booth S25 in the New York/Geneva hall, visitors can gain a detailed insight into hardware-based and virtualized IT security products, including:
The VPN Software Client genuconnect enables VS-NfD-compliant data communication over untrusted networks. BSI-compliant crypto algorithms and proven IPsec technology, combined with a smart card, protect user data to the highest level. Through complete, transparent integration with Microsoft Windows 10 and 11, genuconnect offers optimal usability, including automatic connection establishment without user interaction. The solution guarantees the highest levels of security, functionality, and flexibility when using laptops or tablets. The VPN Software Client genuconnect protects the connections of these mobile devices from unauthorized access and scales seamlessly with growing infrastructures. The German Armed Forces already rely on the genua solution and are currently rolling out an installation with up to 250,000 endpoints. The secure, backdoor-free VPN technology is made in Germany and approved for the classification levels German VS-NfD, NATO RESTRICTED, and RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED.
genusecure Suite is the highly secure, powerful solution bundle for the VS-NfD-compliant mobile workplace. It combines the VPN software client genuconnect with hard disk encryption and smart card middleware. genusecure Suite is fully integrated with Microsoft Windows, meets all BSI requirements for secure teleworking, and simultaneously offers the full performance of sophisticated IT tools for seamless collaboration. VS-NfD-compliant workplaces can be set up easily and as needed.
The only two-tier high-security firewall rated "highly resistant" by the BSI, genugate integrates an application-level gateway and packet filter. The included web application firewall (WAF) reliably fends off attacks on web applications, while the highly secure update mechanism protects against attacks using quantum computers. genugate is approved for the classification levels German VS-NfD, NATO RESTRICTED, and RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED. Furthermore, the firewall is certified according to Common Criteria (CC) EAL4+ with AVA_VAN.5 (Advanced Methodical Vulnerability Analysis).
In addition to the proven hardware appliance, genugate Virtual is also available as a virtualized, quickly scalable variant for dynamic deployment scenarios – the only virtualized firewall with classification level German VS-NfD approval.
The highly scalable, backdoor-free firewall & VPN appliance genuscreen creates highly encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs) for VS-NfD-compliant data communication over public networks. With the new GEO-IP Filtering feature, country-based control of network access is now possible. genuscreen acts as the central component for terminating the VPN client genuconnect. The VPN component, including quantum-resistant key exchange for IPsec/IKEv2, and the firewall component are approved for German VS-NfD, NATO RESTRICTED, and RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED. For use in cloud environments, the solution is now also available as genuscreen Virtual.
genua's vs-diode guarantees high-performance one-way data transfers into SECRET-classified networks from non-classified or lower-classified networks. Possible applications include connecting e-mail systems, mirroring databases for GIS and information systems, streaming video and radar data, or transferring data for antivirus and software updates. Like all its products, genua developed vs-diode according to the security-by-design paradigm for the highest security requirements. This high-security IT tool is approved for the German SECRET, SECRET UE/EU SECRET, and NATO SECRET classification levels.
