Masergy Communications Inc. today announced
WAN Encryption,
a managed service that protects data end-to-end while in transit for
software-defined WAN connectivity between applications and users.
WAN Encryption is the latest addition to Masergy's robust managed network functions, which
includes routers, firewalls, session border controllers and WAN
optimization delivered on premise, via software and in the cloud. Masergy's
unique managed encryption solution offers customers the choice of
either a hardware-based option or a virtualized network function running
on the Masergy Intelligent Bridge (MIB).
WAN
Encryption permits enterprises to leverage traffic from both dedicated
WAN services and the Internet while maintaining full control over
encryption policies and keys. This service is for customers who need to
send highly sensitive data over public or private networks with strong
encryption and service flexibility.
Organizations
can add managed WAN Encryption to Layers 2, 3 or 4 of their networks on
a per-application basis. Key features include:
-
Software-Defined Traffic Protection
-
Simple Policy Management
-
Powerful Key Controls
-
Certificate Management
-
Easily Audited Security for Privacy Compliance
The
new service leverages Certes Networks' patented Crypto-Flow
technology, which is among the strongest commercially available
encryption solutions for protecting enterprise applications traversing
any network. CryptoFlow ensures communications integrity and provides a
foundation for advanced access control that shrinks an enterprise's
attack surface.
"In
this era of increased threats, Masergy has teamed with Certes Networks
to bring an essential layer of protection to business critical
applications," said Tim Naramore, CTO, Masergy. "WAN
Encryption provides a managed service approach to encryption policies
and key management, which reduces the complexity of managing a
sophisticated safeguarding process."
"Application
security is a pressing concern for organizations today, and with new
threats constantly being discovered, having flexible, adaptable
software-defined security in place is essential," said Satyam Tyagi,
CTO, Certes Networks. "We
are delighted to be working with Masergy to help more organizations
combat these threats with our unique CryptoFlow Solutions."
