MPLS Network Encryption

MPLS Encryption

  • Protect Sensitive Data
  • Simplify Security Management
  • Improve Network and Application Performance

Virtual Privacy vs. Actual Security

While many people believe MPLS and other "virtually private" WAN technologies are secure, the fact is that MPLS and most other WAN technologies offer no inherent data protection, data integrity or protection from mis-configurations.

Certes Networks allows you to secure your data over MPLS or other "virtually private" networks without impacting application performance or network services. Our MPLS encryption solutions, powered by TrustNet Manager™, allow organizations to protect their sensitive data without changing the underlying infrastructure, application flows or network services. Our Layer 4 encryption capability even allows you to maintain Netflow/Jflow, and Class of Service (CoS) based routing while encrypting and authenticating data on an on-going basis.

TrustNet Manager is a web-based security management platform that simplifies security management while preserving network performance and functionality. This powerful suite of security management applications gives you the ability to secure your MPLS network, achieve regulatory compliance, and reduce the cost of deploying, managing and maintaining the encrypted network.

TrustNet Manager makes it possible to secure the MPLS network without losing any of the performance or services that make MPLS the WAN technology of choice for many organizations. This is security without compromise.

MPLS Use Case

Click to open larger diagram

Problem:
A regional bank needed to secure all of the traffic on their MPLS backbone. Their network included 250 sites fully meshed running VoIP and other high-speed banking applications

Solution:
A Certes Networks encryption appliance was deployed at each branch location at the LAN/WAN edge.Scalable group encryption replaced inefficient hub-and-spoke topology constructed from point-to-point tunnels.

Benefits:

  • One policy can govern the entire encryption deployment
  • No impact to latency sensitive application
  • Encryption support requirements are a fraction of what they were
