FIPS 140-3, the latest iteration of the Federal Information Processing Standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), outlines stringent security requirements for cryptographic modules. This standard is widely recognized across North America, Europe, and beyond as a best practice for ensuring encryption key protection and secure cryptographic operations.

As servers play a vital role in IT infrastructure across key industries such as government, banking, telecommunications, and cloud service providers, the security of these servers is critical. KAYTUS BMC firmware, with its newly certified cryptographic module, provides enhanced encryption capabilities, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data while facilitating secure remote management, fault diagnosis, and system configuration.

The certification obtained at DEKRA laboratories underscores KAYTUS's commitment to high-level data security. As a result, the KAYTUS V2 server family is fortified with state-of-the-art cryptographic security, offering protection for key services such as web interfaces, SSH, VNC, KVM, and virtual media services.
