“Enterprises are eating up more and more bandwidth by deploying applications such as voice and video over IP out to their branch offices. These same enterprises are realizing that this data, some of it traversing multi-carrier networks, must be secured. CipherOptics’ 10Meg encryption solution helps meet this need,” said IDC Security Analyst Charles Kolodgy. “With this CipherEngine-enabled 10Meg product, CipherOptics rounds out its overall portfolio to provide customers with a full set of scalable network-wide encryption capabilities with robust key management and policy control. Additionally, the CipherEngine solution enables companies to protect their data without impeding the performance or operation of the network.”
