Security for mission-critical systems
Federal, state, and local agencies are facing new challenges that require improved operations, controlled costs, and better security for mission-critical systems and information. Thales' solutions protect mission-critical systems and data, ensuring that they are accessed only by authorized users.
Thales' solutions for US Government agencies include:
- Secure wide area network (WAN) communications - The Thales' DataCryptor family protects mission-critical data over high-speed synchronous optical networks/synchronous digital hierarchy (SONET/SDH) and Ethernet backbones.
Regulatory Compliance
The US federal government has issued a series of directives and mandates to ensure that data in transit is protected. The following key directives are driving the mandates for the use of robust encryption in financial industries:
-
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations mandate encryption of consumer data on leased lines and dedicated circuits.
-
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires all publicly traded company executives, auditors, and IT divisions to incorporate policies and processes to protect company financial data.
