June 2015 by Marc Jacob
Gemalto announced the release of its new SafeNet Multi-Link High Speed Encryptor (HSE) solution that provides the equivalent of 10 by 10 Gbps high-speed encryptors in one unit. With a total encrypted bandwidth of 100 Gbps, the CN8000 helps enterprises and service providers protect sensitive data transmitted across their increasingly large-scale data networks. The SafeNet CN8000 enables organizations to encrypt multiple network links and more traffic while providing unparalleled performance and security for organizations that operate large-scale, high-capacity networks.
As more large enterprises and service providers deploy additional network links at increased speeds across their networks to support growing bandwidth demands, the Gemalto SafeNet CN8000 enables cost-effective implementation of high-speed encryption across more network links - protecting their sensitive data from interception without compromising their networks’ speed and performance.
With a capacity of 10 x 10 Gbps encryptors and a total encrypted bandwidth of 100 Gbps, the SafeNet CN8000 delivers exceptional encrypted throughput in a compact and energy efficient form. As with other encryptors in the SafeNet HSE family, the CN8000 offers best-of-breed encryption and key management; near zero latency; zero network overheads and set-and-forget simplicity.
Designed to support the highest security criteria, the CN8000’s ten 10 Gbps multi-link design includes an important multiple tenancy feature, which provides flexibility benefits to organizations that require separating specific sensitive data and network links.
The CN8000 utilizes embedded quantum random number generation to guarantee high-quality randomness for protection against targeted crypto-attacks.
Gemalto has partnered with Senetas and Swiss company ID Quantique to develop, deliver and support the CN8000. Its performance capabilities are based on ten 10 Gbps encryption ports, in one compact 4U chassis.
Through its acquisition of SafeNet, Gemalto offers one of the most complete portfolios of enterprise security solutions in the world, enabling its customers to enjoy industry-leading protection of digital identities, transactions, payments and data - from the edge to the core. Gemalto’s newly expanded portfolio of SafeNet Identity and Data Protection solutions enable enterprises across many verticals, including major financial institutions and governments, to take a data-centric approach to security by utilizing innovative encryption methods, best-in-class crypto management techniques, and strong authentication and identity management solutions to protect what matters, where it matters. Through these solutions, Gemalto helps organizations achieve compliance with stringent data privacy regulations and ensure that sensitive corporate assets, customer information, and digital transactions are safe from exposure and manipulation in order to protect customer trust in an increasingly digital world.
