1 Virtual Privacy vs. Real Security

2 Certes Networks at a glance Leader in Multi-Layer Encryption Offices throughout North America, Asia and Europe Growing installed based with customers in 37 countries Developing high performance security solutions for wide-area networks, data centers and public cloud CERTES

3 Product Milestones and Industry Firsts First 1Gbps Ethernet Encryption Appliance First Release of CipherEngine First Multi-Layer Encryption Appliances First Variable Speed Encryption Appliances First Multi-Layer 10Gbps Encryptor CERTES

4 Customers and Partners CERTES

5 Where is your data NOT protected What is your security solution for here? Perimeter Security Defense in Depth Your Carrier says the WAN is secure because it s Virtually Private This may have been true in but today it s a dangerous & outdated concept CERTES

6 Who is it we are defending against? 9600 Baud Baby! CERTES

7 Does Privacy Equal Security? The SP says the network is secure A Product Director said security was built in to MPLS based on the following: Traffic streams are kept separate There are controls around provisioning and management There are gateways between the Public Internet and the MPLS Because they have tools to identify malicious activity CERTES

8 What is MPLS? MPLS is primarily a packet forwarding technology Traffic forwarding is based on label A packet can have multiple labels Other services have been added over the years Layer 2 or 3 VPNs Traffic Shaping Monitoring Services 1. A label is added to the packet at the edge of the MPLS network MPLS backbone 3. The label is removed when reaching the customer network 8 2. Packets are moved across the backbone using labels. The labels are swapped out by backbone routers CERTES

9 MPLS is not secure! MPLS Facts: MPLS does not provide Protection against mis-configurations Protection from attacks within the core Confidentiality, authentication or data integrity Customer Security TC TC = Traffic Class The MPLS header contains no security The IP Packet (Data Payload) is left in the clear CERTES

10 Virtual Privacy is not Real Security VPN s segment data - Privacy and Virtual Privacy are not the same as Security! MPLS (VPLS) Data is sent in the clear Metro Ethernet - Data is sent in the clear Internet Internet VPN Threats to Data in Motion Human/Machine errors often result in your data being sent to other VPN customers Man in the middle, BotNets and DDoS attacks Undetectable Data Sniffing, and Theft Easily circumvented branch firewalls leave HQ and DCs vulnerable CERTES

11 The trade off between performance and security Performance Security Modern Networks Require Any to Any Connectivity Scalability High Speed-Low Latency Performance High Availability Architectures (load balancing, DR) Layer 2-4 Services Traditional Network Encryption Limited to Point to Point connections Exponentially complex with scale Induces latency and chokes throughput Requires manual fail over procedures Masks Headers CERTES

12 Group Encryption Provides Security and Performance Our Modern Approach to Encryption Define Polices based on you existing Network or Application Topologies Topologies Applications Mesh Voice Hub and Spoke Video Multicast Control Data Hybrids FTP or other protocols Create the Keys needed to support the Policies CipherEngine uses standards based security protocols AES 256 SHA-1 IPsec Performance Security Enforce the policies without creating tunnels Preserve native routing/switching protocols and paths Layer 2 - encrypt by VLAN Layer 3 - preserve IP routs and subnets Layer 4 - maintain traffic shaping and Netflow/Jflow while encrypting By designing encryption for modern networks, we made it easy to install, and transparent to paths and performance CERTES

13 Transparent Network Security Back-up Data Center Primary Data Center Traffic If With encryption the CipherEngine Primary flows from is DC required, fails the both remote Nothing DCs a relationship (and office the to is created associated the Happens! primary between CEPs) data center. routers, are defined limiting Hubs load and balancing all of the Branches are defined as Packets Using spokesdead are peer load detection balanced at a new the head tunnel will endbe nailed up to the secondary after 90 seconds of lost packets. Because the headers remain in the clear, load balancing works with encryption. In the event of failure at the Primary In the event of a failover, traffic is rerouted with minimal packet loss because DC traffic fails over to the secondary site with minimal packet loss and no user there are no tunnels, and the Secondary intervention DC already had the correct key Remote Office Remote Office Remote Office Unencrypted traffic Encrypted traffic Remote Office CERTES

14 Case Studies

15 Financial Services Compliance driven requirements for encryption over WAN Multiple Data Centers connecting to 155 Member Banks throughout world Required low latency performance with AES 256 encryption Must support DUAL CARRIERS (no IPsec tunnels) Data Center #3 Data Center #2 Data Center #4 Data Center #1 Provider B Member Bank 155 CipherEngine Provider A Redundancy designed into the network architecture Encrypted traffic load balanced across carries under single policy No SLAs reduced or violated Member Bank 1 CERTES

16 Manufacturing and IP Protection Concerned about last mile security Policies defined and encryption keys generated and managed from Headquarter in the U.S. Multiple real-time application on an accelerated WAN Multiple China Locations China Telecom CipherEngine Hong Kong Location U.S. Headquarters Hong Kong Telecom KDDI Telecom Leased MPLS Service Tata Indiacom SingTel Deutsche Telekom Singapore R&D Germany Location Japan Location India Location 30 fully meshed sites - growing to 300 L4 encryption solution offers stealth encryption - not detectable by the carrier CERTES

17 Metro Ethernet Encryption Phased roll-out from 4 meshed sites to 26 total locations Native Layer 2 encryption for new Metro Ethernet service Encryption is segmented by VLAN IDs Policies and key manages by CipherEngine located in Headquarters Simple expansion as new sites are added CipherEngine VLAN 5, 6 Metro Ethernet Network VLAN 7 VLAN 5 VLAN 6 CERTES

18 Utilities, Smart Grid and SCADA Networks Delivers hydroelectric power to one of the largest grids in the country Solution secures Command and Control traffic as part of disaster recovery plan Required low-latency Layer 2 encryption Back Up Site Recovery Site Private Layer 2 Network Control Center Hydro Plant Critical Infrastructure includes all utility, communication and rail control grids Policy prevents the DOE from doing press releases, but they have provided direct references to other utilities CERTES CIPHEROPTICS

19 Video Content and IPTV Providers Protection of easily replicated digital assets Low Latency AES 256 Performance Multicast Support Longer term migration to Cloud TV services IPTV Source 5 Local (City) Distribution sites Layer 3 Backbone NC CipherEngine FL LA Mo FL CERTES

20 Government Customer required security for mission critical services Deployment to support 288 load balanced connections to WAN Required Low Latency performance using AES 256 Headquarters supported load balanced 1G interfaces w/ low latency 288 Embassies MoFA Headquarters Leased MPLS Service CipherEngine Redundant CEPs located at each site Full Mesh encrypted traffic between sites CERTES

21 Managed Services Hub and Spoke topology More than 130 branches being served Each credit union has own VPN back to SP data center Concerned about protecting customer financial data between credit union locations and SP data center All branch locations configured in this manner Backup Internet Router Internet Internet to MPLS Gateway Leased MPLS Service Branch Location Headquarter Data Center Credit unions deployed CEP10s within their ATM machines Demanded encryption from AT&T as part of an MPLS migration CERTES
