BALTIMORE, June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In order to
help enterprises protect more sensitive data as it moves between
data centers and across their networks, SafeNet, Inc., a global
leader in data protection solutions, today announced a new range of
high-speed encryption (HSE) products that enable companies and
other organizations to deploy best-in-class high-speed encryption
more cost-effectively for data in motion. The new SafeNet solutions
can help reduce high-speed encryption costs by as much as 50
percent and are the first commercial Layer 2 Ethernet encryptors of
their kind to offer transmission security (TRANSEC), mitigating the
risk of communications interception and traffic analysis.

The new CN4010 and CN6010 Series encryptors, together with the
existing CN6100 and CN6040 Series encryptors from SafeNet, combine
certified best-in-class security, no data overhead, near-zero
latency and the performance for the most time-sensitive and secure
communications required by global financial networks and the
world's largest Internet companies at speeds from 10 Mbps to 10
Gbps.
"There is a perception that high-speed encryption can be
expensive, as small and large businesses look to protect not just
data center traffic but other aspects of their network traffic,"
said Prakash Panjwani, senior vice
president and general manager, Data Protection Solutions, SafeNet.
"Our new high-speed encryption offerings erase that misconception
by giving customers a single platform to 'encrypt everywhere'— from
traffic between data centers and the headquarters to backup and
disaster recovery sites, whether on premises or in the cloud. With
our comprehensive network traffic encryption solutions, customers
can better protect their data from eavesdropping, surveillance, and
overt and covert interception at an affordable cost, without
compromising security or performance."
SafeNet HSE products can be used to support a wide range of
network encryption applications, including:
- Point-to-Point or Multi-point Connections: Companies can meet
growing bandwidth requirements while mitigating commercial
infrastructure wiretapping risks.
- Data Center Interconnect/Disaster Recovery Sites: Operations
with multiple data centers or organizations that need real-time
disaster recovery enjoy transparent network redundancy and
high-availability.
- Secure Office Connectivity: Centralized management enables
simple, secure management of multiple sites, and also includes
automated VLAN or bypass options.
- Multi-tenanted infrastructure: Centralized management enables
localized administration, with granular policy control, VLAN
separation, and multiple certificate support
- Securing Cloud WANS: As more and more sensitive data moves to
the cloud, the network needs to ensure high-speed/low latency
communications while ensuring security.
Benefits of SafeNet's HSE include:
- Maximum Value: They provide the lowest overhead costs by
delivering maximum data network performance; lowest management
overheads; 99.999% reliability, longevity, interoperability,
backward compatibility, and quick installation.
- Convenience: They require minimal rack space and are optimized
for efficiency, including low power consumption and maximum rack
space utilization through minimal combined space/power needs.
- Assured Security: They are designed to be FIPS 140-2 Level 3
and Common Criteria certified, offering the highest levels of
security assurance. They are also listed in the NATO
Information Assurance Product Catalog for the protection of
restricted information, demonstrating the solution's capabilities
to deliver security without compromise.
- Easy Management: The HSEs can be easily dropped into a network
regardless of topological complexity, and require minimal attention
after deployment. They have near-zero latency and zero impact on
network bandwidth. They also have no impact on other network
assets, offering centralized management and 99.999 percent
uptime.
- Field Upgradability: SafeNet's high-speed encryptors are
designed to be upgradeable in the field to meet Metro Ethernet
Forum (MEF) use cases, and scale to meet growing bandwidth demands.
The scalable encryptors can provide throughput from 10 Mbps to 10
Gbps.
SafeNet is an exclusive international master distribution
partner for Senetas Corporation (ASX:SEN) in developing, delivering
and supporting high-speed network data encryption solutions.
