General Dynamics [GD] said April 6 that its new TACLANE-10G network encryptor has been certified by the National Security Agency to send data up to the top secret level, clearing the product for purchase and use by any U.S. government agency.
The TACLANE-10G would allow the U.S. military and its coalition partners to send and receive multiple data files simultaneously, paring back the need for additional encryptors. It can send a file as large as a high definition movie within moments.
“For more than 50 years, the U.S. government has trusted General Dynamics to secure government networks ensuring that sensitive and classified information remains out of the reach of unauthorized individuals,” said Nadia Short, the company’s vice president and general manager of cyber systems said in a statement. “The NSA certification recognizes and validates the TACLANE-10G’s ability to secure data through government networks worldwide.”
The TACLANE-10G is the newest encryptor offered by General Dynamics. The company is offering a trade-in program to incentivize customers of its current HAIPE encyptor to upgrade to upgrade to the TACLANE-10G. The program ends at the end of the year.
