High speed networks are the critical foundation that supports many of an agency’s most vital communications and operations. However, this foundation is at risk of surveillance and attack by increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals and well-funded nation states. These network connections, if unprotected, are proving to be highly vulnerable, leaving sensitive assets exposed. So, what is the best way to protect network traffic? Encrypt ev...
