//Government secure Grade Network Security For the ultimate in Cyber Defence
// CATAPAN Government Grade Network Security L-3 TRL has over a decade of experience in developing and supporting sophisticated IP encryption devices for Government Grade Network Security, helping to defend against the cyber threat. With award winning products, L-3 TRL s CATAPAN developments remain at the forefront of many sensitive and highly classified government networks. We have enjoyed long-standing relationships with UK Government agencies and commercial service providers through supporting their wide ranging network architectures, providing real-time effective assistance in the safety critical area of Cyber Defence. The world we live in Since the World War I era, when poor radio communication procedures resulted in severe national security compromises, the British Government set up a special organisation to study the methods of cipher communications and to advise on the security of codes and ciphers. Today this organisation, known as CESG, provides advice and services to protect the UK Government s voice and data networks. As the National Technical Authority, CESG also provides a service to help private organisations develop cryptographic products for use by government agencies, known as CAPS (CESG Assisted Products Service). All cryptographic products in line with UK Government standards must go through a certification process and each product is graded accordingly. All L-3 TRL CATAPAN Government Grade Network Security products have been CAPS approved to the highest assurance standard of up to, and including TOP SECRET. In today s world where technology is developing at an ever increasing rate, the use of public networks to communicate has become essential to modern day life. The accessibility of these networks has created an infrastructure where sensitive and highly confidential information can be sent and received from anywhere in the world, providing a vital method of communication to and from some of the most remote and isolated areas. Businesses, Critical National Infrastructures (CNIs) such as banks and electric/gas companies, and even governments rely upon these networks to function, yet the combination of attacks on the network, gateway and host means they are increasingly reliant on an untrusted, unprotected and unsecured network. The threat to communications being intercepted and network systems becoming compromised is constantly evolving and increasing.
Legacy Systems The importance of interoperability The tools and standards we use to communicate are constantly evolving with the advances in technology. As this happens, the areas harnessing this technology must also change to ensure the continued growth of public networks. Legacy systems with serial based communications often have poor change management, poor access control and are technically complex, requiring extensive use of internal resources. IP bearer systems offer alternatives to legacy systems enabling organisations to maintain pace with technological advances, better availability of services, faster throughput and a lower total cost of ownership. used to set up Security Associations (SA) allowing the auto generation of keys, reducing the burden on government resources. All CATAPAN products are designed to support PRIME IKE, ensuring a smooth transition from the current government standards, enabling easier deployment of products and services into organisations mobile and enterprise infrastructures. Our CATAPAN family of encryption devices are in-field reprogrammable and fully interoperable; providing flexibility, economy and security to all users. The next generation IP security (IPsec) framework allows both scalability and interoperability; this framework standard requires a shared security policy and authenticated keys for services. PRIME Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is the new protocol The threats we face The increase in use of public networks The growing need to share information coupled with the internet s standards-based web interface and the increasing number of applications has resulted in the requirement to use public networks. The threat to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical and sensitive information has significantly increased with cyber warfare often being the hackers and terrorists choice of attack. The ability to eliminate the risks associated with the use of public networks must be assured in today s threat environment. The requirement to communicate and share information, confident in the knowledge that the enterprise is securely protected end-to-end, is paramount. When developing a security strategy, an organisation will need to consider and protect against not only current attacks and threats but the evolving unknown. At L-3 TRL, we have developed a comprehensive range of products, services and packages to provide our customers with the complete secure network solution up to and including TOP SECRET.
