Ethernet Encryption Simplified

Ethernet networks offer many cost and performance advantages over other networking technologies. However, Ethernet is a shared infrastructure and lacks inherent security, exposing your company and customer data to the threat of unauthorized monitoring or theft.

Many organizations recognize the need to proactively protect their data transmissions over Ethernet links while others find themselves bound by increasing regulatory requirements for data security. The CipherOptics Ethernet encryption solutions mitigate the risk of data loss or theft while maintaining all the benefits of an Ethernet infrastructure.

CipherOptics Ethernet encryption solutions can be deployed quickly and easily in any Ethernet environment including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint networks. With encryption speeds ranging from 10Mbps to 10Gbps, CipherOptics solutions ensure data integrity without affecting the user experience or network performance. Our best in class data protection solutions are scalable, easy to install and simple to manage.

CipherEngine provides simple management for large-scale Ethernet encryption deployments. Our unique method of policy definition, key distribution and global encryption management makes encryption scalable, highly available and virtually transparent to all protocols and applications. CipherEngine makes encryption easy to deploy and simple to manage.

CipherEngine gives organizations the ability to encrypt multipoint-to-multipoint or point-to-multipoint Ethernet networks. It offers a variety of security options, including the ability to:

Group endpoints together for ease of configuration and scalability

Secure multicast application traffic

Encrypt based on VLAN IDs to create secure communities of interest

Preserve resiliency and maintain high availability

Whether the need is to encrypt a specific VLAN or all network traffic, including broadcast and multicast frames, over an Ethernet infrastucture, CipherEngine helps you achieve a high level of data protection, while maintaining network and application performance.

Ethernet Encryption: Point-to-Point

Point-to-point encryption over an Ethernet network.

For organizations that need to secure links between a few LANs, buildings, or remote locations, the CipherEngine Enforcement Points (CEPs) are a simple and affordable solution. These hardware accelerated encryption appliances provide high speed, low latency data protection and from 10Mbps to 10Gbps.

The CEP encryptors are:

Simple to install and manage - Installs quickly and is ready to use in minutes

Transparent to your network - No architecture changes or router upgrades needed

Wire-speed - Provides full duplex wire-speed encryption

Low Latency - Will not disrupt any latency sensitive applications

CipherOptics Ethernet encryption solutions allow companies, large and small, to protect their data while maintaining their existing network and application performance.
