SafeNet, Inc., a global leader in information security, today announced
the availability of its SafeEnterprise Conversion Encryptor (SCE), the
world’s only encryptor designed to secure
Ethernet LAN PHY traffic over SONET/SDH networks at 10Gbps (OC192) speed.
Companies running 10 Gbps Ethernet LANs face challenges when
transporting encrypted data between sites via carrier or private lines
because 10 Gbps Ethernet often is not available from the carrier. SONET
is the best alternative for high-speed networking, but the SONET network
requires costly bridges to convert from 10 Gbps Ethernet LAN to SONET.
“The SCE is a single security solution that
eliminates bridging costs by integrating from lower cost Ethernet LAN
network into the SONET network architecture,”
said Andy Solterbeck, SafeNet’s chief
technology officer. “With the SCE, companies
will greatly improve network operations and performance without
compromising security. There is no other conversion encryptor like it on
the market.”
With the SCE, companies looking to utilize dark fiber can combine the
advantage of Ethernet simplicity with the robustness and distances of
SONET transport. The SCE integrates seamlessly into any 10Gbps SONET
network. It comes in a four rack unit high chassis with redundant 100 to
240 auto sensing AC power supplies and the flexibility of 10 Gbps small
form-factor pluggable transceivers. The SCE also meets required
regulatory standards.
Another advantage of the SCE is its ability to be remotely managed using
SafeNet’s SafeEnterprise Security Management
Center (SMC). SMC allows network administrators to centrally manage
SafeNet’s entire family of network encryptors
from a single console, helping companies to not only lower management
costs but also to easily produce a data security audit trail to meet
auditing requirements.
The SCE supports the highly secure, federally endorsed AES algorithm for
protecting Ethernet LAN network traffic over the 10 Gbps SONET network.
Its industry-standard physical security provides tamper-proof storage of
encryption keys and user passwords, and features tamper evident
construction.
