Metro Ethernet Security

Layer 2 WANs offer many advantages over the technologies they are replacing, but there are security concerns that must be addressed by organizations migrating to, or currently using, these services. In order to avoid data leakage or any other form of unauthorized access or usage, organizations need to take an active role in protecting their data transmissions over the service provider's Metro Ethernet, VPLS or other Layer 2 WAN link.

Fortunately, with CipherEngine, companies that want the advantages of Metro Ethernet no longer have to worry about its inherent lack of data security. CipherEngine's unique approach to policy and key management gives you unprecedented encryption manageability, transparency and flexibility on your existing Metro Ethernet network.

The CipherEngine solution allows organizations to easily encrypt data in motion, using a global policy and key manager along with both hardware and software-based encryption enforcement points. The CipherEngine data protection solution offers best-of-breed performance, elegantly simple installation and management, and breakthrough scalability. CipherEngine gives you the power to protect data in motion wherever, however and whenever you want, without changes or disruptions to your Metro Ethernet network, your infrastructure, or your operations.
