WHY ENCRYPT SENSITIVE NETWORK DATA? DATA NETWORK BREACHES HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING THE DATA ITSELF. CERTIFIED ENCRYPTION HARDWARE DEDICATED TO DATA SECURITY - IS THE ULTIMATE DATA PROTECTION. CLOUD, DATA CENTRE, BIG DATA AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES NEED THE BEST DATA PROTECTION AND MAXIMUM NETWORK PERFORMANCE. The need to protect government organisations sensitive information within their systems is clear. But, the need to protect transmitted network data has not been so obvious. Leading data security organisations highlight that many organisations do not sufficiently protect network data once outside their direct control. Who really knows what happens to their data while transmitted to another location? Network data is easily and cheaply monitored, tapped, stolen, tampered with and redirected by cyber-criminals. In its 2012 Global Data Security Report, awarded information security experts Trustwave noted that 62.5% of data theft occurred while in transit. It also pointed to increasing cyber-criminal focus on data in transit. Furthermore, data travelling through networks is not just exposed to risks of cyber-attack; there are also genuine risks of transmission to wrong locations. Human error and technical equipment failings are real risks that can manifest more often than you would think. The common issue that organisations face is a breach of data privacy and/or integrity as well as criminal damage such as the loss of valuable intellectual property, whatever the original cause. However, these risks can be eliminated - and security assured - by automatically encrypting the data while it s in motion. Your network data commercial, government or industrial data, voice, video, or all three should be encrypted to protect your organisation and its stakeholders. Importantly, data security advisors highlight that almost all network data should be encrypted. They argue that in large volumes, even low value data, when aggregated, can be useful to cyber-criminals and any network breach has potential to be harmful to reputations and stakeholders trust. In the past, data encryption came at a huge cost of network performance due to latency and encryption overheads. Senetas then developed zero-latency encryptors with zero overhead and impact on network assets maximum network performance and maximum data protection. Two serious network breach issues have been identified by data security analysts the seemingly harmless breach today may be very harmful in the future; and that most breaches remain undetected in the long-term. Australian manufacturer, Codan Ltd., only became aware of an earlier network breach when it discovered the theft of its products intellectual property, which had led to a massive decline in market share due to counterfeiting reported to it by its dealers years later. It s often assumed that data networks are safe. The reality is they are not. Cyber-attacks, human error and equipment failings are all hazards that can lead to sensitive data getting into unauthorised hands. Ultimately, it s the encryption of data that provides genuine assurance that the encrypted data is useless to unauthorised parties the last line of defence. The optimal solution is not the protection of the data network; it s the protection of the data itself. By encrypting the data, you can be assured that however accessed by an unauthorised party, it is protected by that last line of defence. This is why governments and defence forces around the world have encrypted information for hundreds of years. Typically, data networks used to transmit information are known as Layer 3, but when you encrypt Layer 3 networks, it s at a serious cost of 50% to 70% of network performance. On the other hand, Layer 2 networks do not suffer the same lost performance. They are used when high data volumes and performance needs demand more bandwidth and improved cost efficiency, together with best practice data security.

NETWORK TOPOLOGIES SENETAS ENCRYPTORS SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING DATA NETWORK TOPOLOGIES AND DATA SPEEDS FROM 10MBPS TO 10GBPS. POINT-TO-POINT CONNECTIONS Senetas encryptors protect data transmitted between network links at two locations via a fibre link or a managed Ethernet connection. This direct transmission of encrypted data between the two locations is a point-to-point solution. POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT CONNECTIONS In the case of multiple locations such as branch offices connected to a single central head office site; the point-to-multipoint connections may be used. The branch locations may exchange data with the head office and optionally among each other. The access speed and the encryption for each site may vary and be chosen among 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps or 10Gbps. VISIT WWW.SENETAS.COM FOR A RANGE OF DOWNLOADABLE DOCUMENTS 7

MULTI-POINT CONNECTIONS If there are many locations that communicate freely among each other, this is referred to as a multi-point or mesh environment. Hence a full multi-point solution may be optimal. Such a full multipoint solution looks similar to a large distributed LAN where all encryptors see each other at Layer 2. Similar to the point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections, Senetas encryption does not have any impact on the network functionality nor other network assets, thus allowing all services including multicast and broadcast applications to continue to operate unaffected. DATA STORAGE INTERCONNECTION Senetas encryptors also support the encryption of data transmitted between and among multiple data storage networks. The combination of the SONET/SDH encryptors and TDM multiplexors allows the encryption of data transmitted across links between and among multiple data centres.
