Certes Networks

CERTES NETWORKS

Certes Networks has been providing stable solutions since 2002.

The company was founded in 2002, based in Pittsburgh, USA. It currently has 50 employees and its operations are global. The main goal is to effectively secure Data in Motion: “Any application, over any network, to any device – SECURE”. Certes Networks is more than 7,000 devices operating worldwide in corporate networks. Key industries: financial / banking, government institutions, healthcare, education. Since 2014, the company’s new management has set a new goal for the company – “commercialization” of its products

leader in communications security technology

The only vendor to offer a network encryption solution for ISO/OSI layers 2, 3 and 4, physical and virtual networks

why certes?

Independent, tunnel-free, transparent to networks and applications

  • Performance is not affected even for "real-time" applications, VoIP, video, multicast;
  • It works with network equipment from any manufacturer;
  • It is link-independent - ideal for multi-carrier configurations;
  • It supports any network topology - P2P, Hub&Spoke, Full Mesh, Multicast;

Centralized management: all apps, all data, all connectivity

  • Security without hindrance: point-and-click implementation and automatic key exchange;
  • Super simple implementation and administration;

Flexibility for networks and applications

  • Simultaneous operation in L2 and L3 modes;
  • Simultaneous support of private (MPLS/Metro Ethernet) and public (Internet) services;
  • Flexible licensing model matched to actual bandwidth used (customer pays for actual bandwidth needed, very easy to upgrade supported bandwidths);

Secure end-to-end communications for networks and applications

  • CryptoFlow Mobile and vCEP allow traffic to be encrypted all the way to the application server;
  • Borderless - increasing the reach of application traffic on untrusted networks;

Easy troubleshooting and centralized auditing

  • Layer 4 encryption - troubleshooting without disabling encryption;
  • Audit - compliant with PCI-DSS, HIPAA, Data Protection, GLBA, etc...;

Protecting the flow of information slows down innovation in the it environment

Lack of unification between application servers and end devices: Hop by Hop, App by App
  • Internet, Wireless LAN, WAN, LAN …;
  • Email, HR System, Payroll, Insurance, Business, Unix …;
Causes problems that impinge on the security of processed information
  • Lack of adaptability to the application movement;
  • Administrative charge related to the transfer of terminal equipment;
  • Safety management complications: Heartbleed, keying, certifications;
  • Impeded response to vulnerabilities: App by App, Server by Server, Network by Network;
  • Impeded proactivity: reconfiguration requiring multiple administrators, across multiple domains and management panels;
  • Additional man-hours spent on configuration, adding new locations, protecting new application servers;

Lack of unification in encrypting traffic from server to end device creates problems

Challenge

  • Lack of unification: different VPNs, different encryption technologies, multiple administrative panels, extended response times;
  • Performance: encryption reduces network performance twice, increases response time of application servers;
  • Scalability: no central point of administration complicates expansion and troubleshooting, complex tunnels;
  • Lack of flexibility: firewall-level encryption with static tunnel ends; often overlooked by mobile devices, complicated cloud traffic protection;

Certes solution

  • Complete: centrally managed, end-to-end encryption, Layer 2, 3 and 4 support by a single solution;
  • No latency: encryption at the speed of the transmission medium without introducing latency;
  • Isolated: Separates security from network, management, applications; automatic topology configuration; encryption as a resource;
  • Holistic: End-to-end protection of any network and any application: CryptoFlow VPN;
