Network Security and Data Protection by CipherOptics

MPLS and VPLS Network Security - Private Is NOT Secure!
Companies trust their network service provider to deliver reliable data transportation across the WAN. MPLS, VPLS and Metro Ethernet networks are emerging as popular choices for organizations looking to reduce costs while increasing bandwidth and application and network performance. However, companies erroneously believe that because they are leasing a "private" network, that their data is protected from unauthorized inspection and other forms of data leakage. While the network may be private, security is not inherent with MPLS and VPLS technologies. The private network most companies lease is simply a virtual "lane" on a shared infrastructure of the service provider's massive network. Standard Service Level Agreements (SLA) make no guarantees regarding the security of your data stream. Unless you are encrypting your data transmissions, your data is sent in clear text, over networks you don't own, don't control and cannot monitor.

What about when your data travels beyond the physical boundaries of your Service Provider's network? You may trust your Service Provider to keep your data safe within their own network, but do you trust the smaller 3rd party networks, or those controlled by foreign governments that your data often travels over?

Your customers, partners and shareholders expect you to keep their data safe wherever it travels. The hard truth is that any compliance failure, data loss or brand damage resulting from a data breach is not the responsibility of the service providers; it's yours. This reality means companies can outsource the connectivity, but not the risk.

Forward-thinking security professionals know that encrypting data before it is transmitted over a 3rd party network is the only way to control who sees it. These security professionals rely on CipherOptics to provide scalable network-wide encryption and help them regain control of their information.

Fortunately, with the CipherOptics CipherEngine™ solution and family of Security Gateway products there is no longer a need to choose between performance and security. CipherOptics' solutions ensure data security over any network without affecting user experience or operational requirements.
