Fast, simple, transparent network security
Securing data in motion is moving to the forefront of security priorities as organizations migrate from costly leased lines lower cost to IP networks. This move is happening to reduce networking costs, and to increase bandwidth affordably. However, there are inherent vulnerabilities in IP that make your network susceptible to security breaches, including eavesdropping, tampering and denial-of-service attacks.
The CipherOptics SG100 data protection gateway delivers the best in throughput and network transparency with virtually no latency, protecting data in motion over Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) IP networks. Deployed in many security-conscious networks, the CipherOptics SG100 outperforms router and firewall add-on solutions in price, performance and network transparency.
| Feature |
Benefit
|
Fast Ethernet
wire-speed throughput |
No encryption bottlenecks; enables up to 190 mbps full-duplex Fast Ethernet with AES encryption |
| Virtually no latency for encryption and decryption cycle |
Ideal for latency-intolerant applications, such as voice-over-IP, video conferencing and storage networking |
| Ease-of-installation; bump-in-the-wire implementation |
Ease of setup, policy definition and network installation. No complicated router or network re-configuration, or programming, required.
Completely transparent; the unit does not affect network traffic and doesn' t require intensive management or maintenance |
| Network compatibility |
Easily integrates into existing IP networks |
| Streamlined IPSec policy definition |
Single-screen policy configuration and centralized policy management |
| Jumbo frame support |
Encrypts jumbo frames without degrading network performance |
| Coarse packet filtering |
Can be set up to drop all packets not coming from encryption counterpart, protecting against denial-of-service attacks and potentially obviating the need for additional perimeter security devices |
| MPLS and VLAN tag support |
Transparent operation in a service provider or corporate environment |
| Data authentication |
Protects from “man-in-the-middle” attacks. Data that started in clear text is hashed to insure data has not been altered, manipulated or corrupted in transport. Key in financial and medical imaging applications |
| Role-based management |
Allows for granularity of device and security policy management |
| Purpose-built appliance |
Low cost of ownership; low maintenance |
