SafeNet Network Encryption Solutions Safenet High-Speed Network Encryptors Combine the Highest Performance With the Easiest Integration and Management
SafeNet Network Encryption and Isolation Solution SafeNet Network Encryption and Isolation Solution uses dedicated security engines that are separate from the network infrastructure. This approach has intrinsic advantages compared to integrated solutions. Whether you are operating a traditional enterprise data center or moving your data and processing into the cloud, data confidentiality and infrastructure isolation are assured without impacting the day to day operations of the network. Infrastructure security is administered separately from the network administration function allowing separation of duties even when operating in the cloud. SafeNet technology operates at the highest performance levels without negatively impacting network capacity or speed and without adding network complexity. The encryption devices and their management function exist as a network overlay that is highly reliable, highly resilient, easy to deploy and maintain, and can be rapidly expanded as needs change. SafeNet Network Encryption Solutions Proven reliability, highest throughput, and lowest latency make SafeNet s network security devices the ideal solution for protecting data in motion, including time-sensitive voice and video streams. SafeNet s network security devices provide the fastest and easiest way to integrate robust, FIPS-certifi ed network security to protect data for enterprise and government organizations. With SafeNet Network Encryption Solutions, You Can: Protect your data from evolving threats - Sensitive data is being transmitted through networks, more transactions are being conducted over networks, and more value is moving through networks, which means that even a small breach can result in staggering data leakage with associated reputation, privacy, and financial losses. Become compliant with mandates - Beyond the obvious needs for encryption in safeguarding against security threats, many organizations need to ensure and demonstrate compliance with a host of mandates, including governmental, industrial, and regional policies. Encryption mechanisms need to support these efforts and provide advanced audit reporting. Provide business continuity and disaster recovery - Organizations need real-time transmissions of sensitive data to disaster recovery sites. Encryption solutions ensure the information remains totally secure without slowing down the network and interfering with other business functions. (Provider A) 10G (Provider B) 10G Data Center Secondary Data Center Disaster Recovery Site Secure branch office connectivity - Sensitive and regulated data is constantly traversing the network from headquarters to branch offices. Organizations need a lower cost encryption solution capable of scaling. Branch Offices 10G/100M 100M 75M 50M Headquarters 10M VLAN 1 VLAN 2 VLAN 3 VLAN 4 VLAN 5 etc... 5M Safeguard data in private clouds - Organizations are moving to cloud-based services; just about every enterprise will have a hybrid mix of services including on-premise, private cloud, and public cloud in place at any given time. Network encryption ensures trusted communications across the organizations cloud-based applications while boosting user productivity, lowering costs and increasing business agility. Cloud
Benefits Reduced Cost SafeNet s Network Encryption solutions are simple to deploy and require little maintenance, thus reducing implementation and operational costs. Because SafeNet s Network Encryptors encrypt at Layer 2, bandwidth effi ciency is greatly improved. Maximum Performance SafeNet Network Encryptors are able to protect massive amounts of data with high yhroughput, zero latency, and minimal protocol overhead. Enterprise Scalability Layer 2 Encryption It s a little known fact that network encryption solutions can have profound impact on the network s scalability, maintenance and cost. Layer 3 encryption solutions like IPsec introduce latency and frame loss, and may reduce available bandwidth to as little as 27%. Applications like VoIP and video may be a problem, and network equipment has to be super-sized just to keep up with normal traffic. Why Encrypt at Layer 2? SafeNet offers advanced Layer 2 encryption solutions that eliminate the challenges and obstacles presented by Layer 3 encryption approaches. Minimal Cost Simple Management Maximum Performance SafeNet Network Encryption solutions signifi cantly reduce equipment requirements and costs. In addition, encryption policy is effortless. Central Control and Remote Management - SafeNet s Security Management Center (SMC) SafeNet s Network Encryptors can be centrally controlled or managed across multiple remote stations using SafeNet s SMC. With SMC s point-and-click, easy-to-use interface, and confi guration wizards, it s simple to visualize, confi gure, modify, and manage network security 5 minute installation and deployment. SMC enables organizations to implement a broad range of security policies that can limit access to specifi c devices or provide unlimited access to the entire network. Simple policy for fast setup and integration Minimal ongoing maintenance Better bandwidth utilization (up to 50%) Layer 2 (Ethernet) IPv4 transparent to encryption policy Encryption can have no effect on high layer IP routing design Protects legacy Layer 3 protocols Layer 3 (IPSec) Low Overhead Needed for new bandwidth intensive applications No GRE or complex QoS schemes Low Latency microseconds vs. milliseconds Performance Ease of Integration & Maintenance Depth of Security Reliability Cost Throughput up to 10Gbps No performance degradation for small packet traffic (real-time VoIP, video) Virtually no latency No bandwidth wasted for security overhead Easy to integrate, plug and-play Virtually no maintenance required Separates physical network from security FIPS 140-1/2 and CC certified hardware Supports latest encryption standards such as AES-256 Highly resilient Changes in IP layer doesn t affect Layer 2 security Cost-effective security solution requires only minimum number of encryptors to secure entire circuits Throughput up to 1Gbps Poor performance especially for small-packet traffic (real-time VoIP, video) High latency, especially for small packet traffic Up to 90% of bandwidth wasted by security protocol overhead Hard to integrate into IP networks due to IP address management issues Changes in network setup impact security Provides more granular security options which leaves room for errors in security implementation (e.g., unencrypted connections) Changes in IP network (e.g., IP address changes) can interfere with security setup Fast IPSec encryptors are expensive
