CipherOptics Announces Availability of CEP10, A New CipherEngine Compatible 10Meg Encryption Product

New Encryption Enforcement Point Delivers Affordable Security to
Branch Offices
RALEIGH, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
CipherOptics, a leader in network-wide encryption, today announces
the immediate availability of the CipherEngine Enforcement Point (CEP)
10Mbps product with the launch of the CEP10. This 10Mbps encryption
point provides up to 20Mbps bi-directional IPSec encryption for
network-wide CipherEngine encryption solutions and point-to-point data
protection applications.

"Enterprises are eating up more and more bandwidth by deploying
applications such as voice and video over IP out to their branch
offices. These same enterprises are realizing that this data, some of
it traversing multi-carrier networks, must be secured. CipherOptics'
10Meg encryption solution helps meet this need," said IDC Security
Analyst Charles Kolodgy. "With this CipherEngine-enabled 10Meg
product, CipherOptics rounds out its overall portfolio to provide
customers with a full set of scalable network-wide encryption
capabilities with robust key management and policy control.
Additionally, the CipherEngine solution enables companies to protect
their data without impeding the performance or operation of the
network."

With a CipherEngine compatible 10Meg solution, CipherOptics
customers can easily and affordably protect their data down to
branch/satellite offices with lower speed DSL, T1 and 10Mbps
connections. CipherEngine offers a first-of-its-kind, network-wide
security solution for any network, regardless of size, type, topology
or speed, all without having to change the underlying network
infrastructures; without negatively impacting network or application
performance; and, without increasing management or operational costs.

"The addition of the CEP10 product represents the next step in our
commitment to ensure that our customers can simply and affordably
protect data across their entire network," said Ron Willis, president
and CEO of CipherOptics. "Now with the ability to protect links from
DSL and T1 speeds up to 10Gbps, CipherEngine provides the highest
standard of data security and unprecedented scalability and
flexibility with regards to throughput, functionality and
manageability."
