Module description

The Certes Encryptors, or Certes Enforcement Points (CEP), are purpose-built encryption appliances that provide multi-layer data protection and application segmentation. CEP appliances provide Ethernet frame encryption for Layer 2 networks, IPsec encryption for Layer 3 networks, and data payload encryption for Layer 4 MPLS networks. CEPs operate transparently to the network infrastructure, which ensures all data is encrypted without impacting network performance.
