Certes Networks And IDQ Team To Bring Multilayer Network Encryption

OEM relationship expands IDQ’s capabilities and Certes Networks’ reach into European markets

Oct 07, 2011 | 01:11 PM | 


Pittsburgh, PA, October, 5, 2011- Certes Networks, the leader in multi-layer encryption solutions for high performance networks, announced today that it has signed an OEM agreement with ID Quantique SA, a Geneva based leader in conventional and quantum encryption technologies. ID Quantique (IDQ) will bring Certes Networks’ technology to market as the Arcis family of multi-layer security products. This enhanced capability will allow IDQ to expand its product offering to include transparent network encryption of IPSec and MPLS networks and offer new features such as persistent authentication to ensure data integrity.

“Our partnership with Certes Networks allows IDQ to expand into new vertical markets, such as the protection of critical infrastructure, while also being able to better meet the needs of our existing financial and enterprise clients to secure multi-carrier and multi-layer networks for compliance and audit,” said Gregoire Ribordy, CEO of IDQ. “Our new Arcis product line perfectly fits our philosophy to align high performance with security.”

Certes Networks' innovative policy and key management solution and multi-layer, wire-speed encryption appliances can secure any network without impacting the underlying infrastructure or application performance. This groundbreaking solution eliminates the tradeoffs that have traditionally accompanied network encryption and allows organizations to follow the best practice of separating security from infrastructure management roles. The solution architecture also enables secure cloud migrations, allowing companies to adopt cloud networking at their own pace.

"The need for scalable, high performance network security continues to grow within European markets and the rest of the world," said Thomas Gill, CEO of Certes Networks. "Our partnership with IDQ provides us with a strong European channel that can support the increasing demand for multi-layer encryption while maintaining the highest standards for customer service and support. "

Vulnerability Management Reports

report Choosing the Right Vulnerability Scanner for Your Organization
Vulnerability scanners can be used to help detect and fix systemic problems in an organization's security program and monitor the effectiveness of security controls. However, a vulnerability scanner can improve the organization?s security posture only when it is used as part of a vulnerability management program, in which products, processes and people are working together to find, identify, prioritize and mitigate threats. Here are some tips on choosing and implementing vulnerability scanners in your enterprise.

report Using Google to Find Vulnerabilities In Your IT Environment
Attackers are increasingly using a simple method for finding flaws in websites and applications: they Google them. Using Google code search, hackers can identify crucial vulnerabilities in application code strings, providing the entry point they need to break through application security. Sound scary? It is, but there is good news: You can use these same methods to find flaws before the bad guys do. In this special report, we outline methods for using search engines such as Google and Bing to identify vulnerabilities in your applications, systems and services--and to fix them before they can be exploited.

report Security Pro's Guide to Patch Management
It's no longer sufficient to patch just Windows, Office and IE. With the massive array of applications now residing on enterprise PCs, and the proliferation of mobile and cloud-based applications, your business is far too vulnerable to exploitation unless you have a solid strategy for patch prioritization, deployment and quality assurance. Follow these steps to put your plan in place.
