Secure, hardware VPN

by Mark Rowe

KBC Networks’ ThruLink allows secure, real-time, video, voice and data to be transmitted over public networks such as the internet or 3G/4G. In use by security and bank users, the secure, hardware VPN uses a number of encryption techniques to enable use of public infrastructure, while protecting data. ThruLink applications include streaming live video from vehicles; sending data from remote sites, and replacing leased lines in large-scale surveillance networks.

The ThruLink series ranges from Standard to High Capacity Plus units, with optional embedded 3G/4G. The devices employ RSA 2048 authentication; AES, Blowfish and Camellia packet encryption (128-256bit) and HMAC-SHA1 to ensure packet integrity.

ThruLink devices can be configured over any type of WAN in a master–slave or mesh topology, and will fit within an existing infrastructure without requiring network changes, it is claimed. Multiple fail-over capability ensures unit and system redundancy. Management information, via the web-browser-compatible GUI, provides location and status information about every ThruLink device on a network. If a network connection fails, ThruLink will automatically re-establish the transmission path once the connection is restored.

The company is exhibiting at IFSEC 2015, stand B605.
