The SecureKey VPN gateway lies at the heart of a secure cloud and hybrid network. As a network gateway, it is used to protect and connect private networks across the internet. The SK-VPN utilizes the strongest commercially available encryption standards to protect your network – IKEv2 security connections using certificate-based authentication along with IPsec tunnel mode encryption using AES-GCM-256. The SK-VPN supports the entire suite of Commercial National Security Algorithms (CNSA v1.0). The cloud presents a unique security challenge, one in which off-the-shelf Operating Systems and software do not provide sufficient protections. The SK-VPN was designed with security at the forefront and uses a customized Operating System and high-performance Data Plane to secure the VM in the cloud. The OS uses advanced security features including Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems, Integrity Measurement Architecture, Disk Encryption, Trusted Launch, and locked-down security settings that are not available in other commercial cloud products. Further, our SecureKey cryptographic software offers sophisticated security to protect your most valuable targets – network encryption keys and credentials. Along with Multi-Factor Authentication, Role Based Access Control, and Certificate + Password security for Management, the SK-VPN is one of the most secure VPN solutions for the cloud.
