Third-generation SSL/TLS Solutions Provide Up To Twice
the Performance for Advanced Encryption Compared to
Competitors -- at a Lower Cost
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A10
Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a Secure Application Services™ company, today
introduced third-generation SSL/TLS hardware solutions to help
organizations overcome the challenges of providing advanced SSL
decryption and encryption for both application acceleration and security
visibility. The rapid adoption of highly secure and compute-intensive
standards, such as Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) with Perfect
Forward Secrecy (PFS) and App Transport Security (ATS), require
organizations to meet this demand or risk losing increasingly
security-conscious customers.
The Internet has seen an explosion of SSL encryption with up
to 70 percent of traffic now being encrypted. Cipher suite analysis
also shows more than 85
percent of encrypted traffic is using ECC and PFS. There are many
reasons why encryption adoption is climbing. For example, websites with
encryption garner more favorable page rankings in Google searches.
Another example could be a lack of ATS support potentially affecting app
listing in the Apple
App Store. Ignoring encrypting traffic can directly impact a
business’s revenue.
The third-generation SSL processors are available in select A10 Thunder®
hardware appliances. Existing customers can upgrade select Thunder
appliances. Unlike
competitive solutions, A10’s “SSL modularity,” helps existing
customers scale to accommodate future traffic without a forklift upgrade
to replace their existing appliance, offering true investment protection
and savings. A10’s new SSL solutions are available for Thunder ADC
(Application Delivery Controller), Thunder SSLi (SSL Insight), and
Thunder CFW (Convergent Firewall) product lines.
A10 Thunder ADC’s application delivery and server load balancing
functionality ensures application acceleration by offloading
compute-intensive SSL/TLS processing from web servers. This ensures fast
and secure responses to customer requests. A10 Thunder SSLi provides
visibility into encrypted traffic for a wide range of security vendors
by eliminating the SSL blind spot, protecting enterprise users from
attacks.
“Organizations cannot risk losing business by having to choose between
security and performance, and now they don’t have to,” said Raj Jalan,
CTO of A10 Networks. “High-profile data breaches have made one thing
clear: The need for stronger encryption is here to stay. Our latest
encryption solutions support the latest ciphers at scale, maintaining
performance alongside the ability to offload traffic or allow for the
inspection of encrypted traffic for potential threats.”
Solution highlights include:
-
High-performance encryption processing
-
Hardware-assisted processing of advanced ECC ciphers using
third-generation of security processors.
-
Advanced cipher support processing in hardware, for example:
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 and more.
-
Scalable performance and lowest TCO
-
Supported products
-
Thunder ADC, Thunder SSLi, and Thunder CFW product lines support
the new third-generation security processors.
-
SSL Modularity
-
Select Thunder ADC, Thunder SSLi, and Thunder CFW hardware
appliances can be upgraded as required, avoiding fork lift
upgrades.
Availability
Third-generation SSL options are available now for the following Thunder
ADC, Thunder SSLi, and Thunder CFW appliances:
-
Thunder 3040S, 3230S, 3430S, 4440S, 5330S, 5440S, and 5840S.
