Weston, FL and Long Crendon, UK – 15 September 2009: Thales, leader in information systems and communications security, announces that its Datacryptor high-speed SONET/SDH and Ethernet Layer 2 hardware-based network encryptors have received Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 3 certification, ensuring customers have the utmost confidence in the range of advanced cryptographic solutions.

“Governments and enterprise businesses face unprecedented challenges in ensuring the confidentiality of data as it is processed and exchanged across data centers and the use of cryptography in the form of encryption offers the most convenient way to protect sensitive data in transit over high-speed backhaul and backbone connections,” says Franck Greverie, Vice President, Managing Director for the information systems security activities of Thales. “Thales has long championed best practices and industry standards and Common Criteria certification for our Datacryptor products demonstrates our commitment to achieving internationally recognized standards and compliance requirements. It is vital that our customers have a high level of confidence in the products they buy and independent review of a product’s security properties is a powerful tool in building that confidence.”

Anything we can do to improve the security of the network and the other parts of the infrastructure has to be a good thing for the end user community, managing the need for such security will depend on the nature of your businesses and applications, but the more we innovate in this space, the more opportunities that can be realized in securing the relevant parts of the network in line with the business need.
