The accelerating pace of cyber threats, combined with the emerging risks posed by quantum computing, creates urgent challenges for the protection of mission-critical military and national security communications. The Senetas CN7000 Network Encryptor series is purpose-built to safeguard sensitive data in the most demanding operational environments—from battlefield deployments to critical infrastructure networks. Delivering quantum-resistant, crypto-agile encryption at up to 10 Gbps, the CN7000 ensures secure, authenticated, and uninterrupted data flows when and where they matter most. Unlike conventional IPsec-based solutions, CN7000 encryptors provide high-assurance protection at network layers 2–4, enabling low-latency performance, minimal bandwidth overhead, and support for flexible topologies. The platform incorporates the three pillars of Senetas high-assurance encryption: • Crypto Agility – support for evolving algorithms, including post-quantum standards. • Platform Agility – compatibility with both IT and OT environments. • Network Agility – optimized for high-speed, real-time secure data in dynamic topologies. The CN7000 also integrates the Cipher Software Development Kit (CSDK), enabling sovereign nations and defense organizations to implement, test, and deploy custom or sovereign encryption algorithms within the appliance or virtualized environments. This toolkit provides unique flexibility for governments seeking assurance over cryptographic sovereignty, without compromising performance or security.
