The Challenge
Balancing security & speed
As network speeds rise and compliance tightens, legacy encryption threatens performance, scalability, and customer experience with latency and inefficiencies.
Key Security challenges facing telecom providers:
- Growing Threat Landscape: Cybercriminals are targeting vulnerabilities in 5G, fiber, and carrier networks
- Regulatory Compliance Pressures: Data protection laws mandate end-to-end encryption.
- Quantum Computing Risks: Future threats could render current encryption obsolete
- Performance vs. Security Trade-Off: Traditional IPSec and VPN solutions slow down networks
- Rising Energy Costs: Software-based encryption solutions consume excessive power
The Solution
Fast, secure, future-proof
- Near-Zero Latency: High-speed encryption designed for carrier-grade performance
- Seamless Network Integration: Works with existing SD-WAN, MPLS, and cloud networks
- Regulatory & Compliance Ready: Meets GDPR, NIST PQC, and emerging global standards
- Reduced OPEX & Power Consumption: More efficient than traditional software-based encryption
- Centralized, Multi-Tenant Security Management: Enables secure segmentation for enterprise customers
