Internet Protocol Data Encryptor
Significant cost savings can be achieved by switching from private, leased lines to public Internet Protocol (IP) networks. This is seen as an attractive option for many mission-critical applications such as those of financial institutions, corporations, and governments. These cost savings can come with a high risk of data compromise that occurs at exposure points within unprotected public networks. This risk has increased the demand for highly secure, reliable end-to-end IP packet data encryption.
TCC's Cipher X 7200 IP data encryptor has been engineered to protect mission-critical communications; to enable organizations to take advantage of the lower operational costs and circuit redundancies of publicly operated and managed IP networks. The Cipher X 7200 IP data encryptor provides strategic level protection from these external threats, and from internal threats that can occur on private, dedicated networks.
Defending against malicious threats to sensitive information from cyber attacks, as well as the ever increasing sophistication of traffic intercept, requires the latest advancements in communication security and encryption. The Cipher X 7200 IP data encryptor has served TCC customers' security needs for over a decade. During that time, new advances in encryption algorithms have led to the development of the FIPS-197 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, now offered by TCC on the Cipher X 7200.
TCC’s Cipher X 7200 IP data encryptor offers a 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) encryption algorithm, incorporated within a hardware-based crypto processor module, ensuring low latency and maximum performance.
The Cipher X 7200 IP data encryptor requires little user training to install, configure and operate, minimizing operational cost to end-users. Security policies are intuitively easy to enforce; each secure IP connection is configured as a transparently established, secure association (SA) session. Once configured, insertion of Cipher X 7200 IP data encryptors into the IP network is operationally transparent; no changes to the IP network are required.
Secure key and device management of each Cipher X 7200 IP data encryptor can be performed remotely via TCC’s Keynet™ remote management system using secured (AES-256 protected) client-server connections.
Incorporating a Keynet™ centralized management function into the network makes the security policy configuration and periodic key management operations fully automatic.
The Cipher X 7200 is also available in a ‘Multicast’ version that supports encrypted broadcasting capabilities such as secure video teleconferencing.
