NSA certifies General Dynamics' Taclane-10G encryptor
The US National Security Agency (NSA) has certified General Dynamics Mission Systems' new Taclane-10G in-line network encryptor, as announced by the company on 6 April.
The NSA certified the Taclane-10G to secure information at the Top Secret level and below. With this certification, US government organisations can now order the new encryptor.
The Taclane-10G is the latest cyber defence product by General Dynamics. According to the company, the product can encrypt the equivalent of a high-definition feature film in moments and transmit it through a network at the Top Secret level and below. It also provides the ability to send and receive multiple coalition and US data files simultaneously without operator intervention.
Chris Marzilli, president, General Dynamics Mission Systems, said: 'The NSA certification of Taclane-10G is another step forward for General Dynamics Mission Systems' cyber defence capabilities. General Dynamics keeps our customers connected while ensuring their security and advancing their operations. Securing sensitive and critical information is yet another example of how we support our customers.'
A Taclane-10G trade-in programme is available through 31 December, allowing users of the current HAIPE in-line encryptor to switch to Taclane-10G.
