NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

The Thales CV1000 (CV1000) is a hypervisor (or software) based encryptor that allows secure transmission of data between end points, physical or virtual. As data in motion is under constant attack, the CV1000 provides customers with a single platform to ‘encrypt everywhere’— from network traffic between data centers and the headquarters to backup and disaster recovery sites, whether on premises or in the cloud.

Virtualized encryption functions provide the scalability, simplicity flexibility, as well as much needed cost-efficiencies demanded by IT and data networks managers. The CV1000 gives IT and data network managers the ability to respond to changing business needs, meet the increasing demand for agility, and provides data protection across the extended and virtualized WAN—all the way to the network edge. The CV1000 provides organizations with an operational and expense friendly alternative to using a hardware appliance for securing data in motion across networks and meeting security and compliance requirements. By using a virtualized encryption appliance organizations can remotely scale up network encryption to meet increased capacity demands or quickly make policy changes across multiple networks, while eliminating the cost for additional rack space.

The CV1000 is the first high speed encryptor to offer Transport Independent Mode, meaning it is network layer independent (Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4) and protocol agnostic. By supporting Layer 3, the CV1000 offers network operators more configuration options using TCP/IP routing for securing critical data. Because it’s software-controlled, the CV1000 enables greater flexibility and responsiveness in network architecture, as well as opportunities to expand the network scale quickly. The CV1000 also supports Quantum Resistant Algorithms (QRA), which are essential today for long-term data protection of any organization’s most sensitive and long-life data today against tomorrow’s quantum threats.
