Adva Network Security Layer 2 Encryption Technology Achieves German BSI Approval

Robust data protection at the network edge is becoming essential for public authorities, critical infrastructure, defense and

Adva Network Security announced that its flagship 10Gbit/s edge solution with ConnectGuard Ethernet encryption has been approved for the transmission of classified data by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). With BSI c******** to transport VS-NfD and NATO RESTRICTED (NR) information, the FSP 150-XG118Pro (CSH) enables customers to deploy a secure network access device guaranteed to meet stringent regulatory requirements. With comprehensive demarcation capabilities and an optional server blade, the device offers several additional advantages, such as precise synchronization and NFV hosting. Its approval by the BSI will be a major boost for customers with high security standards.

Achieving BSI approval makes our Ethernet access device a preferred choice for transport of classified data

“We work with public authorities, critical infrastructure operators and enterprises whose networks are particularly threatened by cyberattacks as they often contain the most sensitive and mission-critical data. Today’s announcement will be big news for them. Now it’s possible to securely harness a 10Gbit/s edge solution with a unique set of capabilities such as next-generation timing delivery, network virtualization and comprehensive service assurance,” said Michael Roth, GM of Adva Network Security. “We were the first in the industry to attain BSI c******** for our Layer 1 technology. Now it’s the turn of our Layer 2 solution. As a qualification, BSI approval is one of the most challenging in the industry. Achieving it not only highlights the power of the protection offered by our device, but also our commitment to security in all our business processes.”
