ADVA FSP 3000 With Embedded ConnectGuard(TM) Encryption Technology Receives VS-
NfD and NATO Restricted Security Clearance
Munich, Germany. February 22, 2017. ADVA Optical Networking announced today that
its FSP 3000 platform with ConnectGuard(TM) encryption technology has been
approved for the transmission of classified data by the German Federal Office
for Information Security (BSI). The approval means that the ADVA FSP 3000 can be
used to transport data with security classifications up to the level of
"Verschlusssache nur für den Dienstgebrauch" (VS-NfD, "Classified: For Official
Use Only") as well as EU and NATO "restricted". The ADVA FSP 3000 with
ConnectGuard(TM) data protection encrypts data at the optical layer. It is the
first platform that supports Fibre Channel encryption at line speeds of up to
100Gbit/s to achieve BSI-approved status. Now, government organizations can
deploy the most robust security methods available in their transport
infrastructure. Data that requires restricted clearance, including EU and NATO
communication, can be encrypted at the lowest network layer on streams of
100Gbit/s capacity and beyond.
"Receiving the BSI's stamp of approval is a huge achievement. It shows the
strength of our ConnectGuard(TM) technology and underlines the faith that many
public institutions put in us to safeguard their confidential information," said
Christoph Glingener, CTO, COO, ADVA Optical Networking. "From now on, German
governmental organizations and companies will be able to leverage highly secure
transport layer encryption, even when transmitting enormous volumes of data.
With our ConnectGuard(TM) solution, they can rely on total network protection
without the complexities that previously came with encrypting data in-flight.
What's more, our technology is incredibly cost-effective, adds hardly any
latency and supports native transport of all data center protocols. Government
networks can now achieve maximum security combined with highest performance and
lowest cost."
The ADVA ConnectGuard(TM) network encryption solution is the most comprehensive
system available for the protection of data in-flight and the ultimate response
to the evolving threat of cyberattacks. It is the first BSI-approved solution
with this level of clearance to protect data at Layer 1, secure 100Gbit/s
streams and encrypt Fibre Channel links. With its Advanced Encryption Standards
(AES) algorithm, dynamic key exchange and strictly separated encryption domain
manager, ADVA ConnectGuard(TM) is compliant with the most stringent regulatory
requirements. Already successfully deployed in public sector networks on every
continent, it will now be available to safeguard Germany's most critical
national infrastructure, including energy and water supplies, healthcare systems
and transportation.
"Our ConnectGuard(TM) solution has been deployed in over 250 networks worldwide,
including many public sector transport systems. So it was no surprise that
government agencies requested approval to use it to protect their classified
information," commented Ulrich Schlegel, product line manager, ADVA Optical
Networking. "Our ConnectGuard(TM) technology is already certified with major
compute and storage vendors including IBM, Brocade and Dell/EMC. Now, Germany's
governmental institutions can harness the most simple, affordable and
comprehensive data protection available. The BSI's approval of ConnectGuard(TM)
for VS-NfD data is a robust response to aggressive and increasing cyber threats.
It will help to shore up the security of Germany's federal administration and
infrastructure. Our optical layer encryption solution will play an important
part in safeguarding the availability, integrity and the trustworthiness of the
country's most vital networks and be the foundation of German's digital
sovereignty for years to come."
