Abstract: A method of data transfer in a cyber-protected system includes inserting a removable media device into a removable media interface of a Secure Media Exchange (SMX) kiosk running a cyber-checking algorithm. The SMX kiosk includes a user interface, physical controls, input and output ports. An enclosure for physical protection prevents access to the physical controls, input and output ports configured with openings revealing the removable media interface and user interface. The cyber-checking algorithm inspects the removable media device for threats and adds encryption to the removable media device only if passing inspecting. The cyber-protected system includes networked devices coupled to communicate over a communications network including at least one SMX protected machine at a protected system node having a SMX algorithm and an encryption key. The SMX algorithm allows reading information from the removable media device on the SMX protected machine only if the encryption is confirmed.
