Layer 3 encryption – secure data transfer at the IP level
Why encryption at the IP layer?
Layer 3 encryption at the IP level protects sensitive data directly at the network layer. It’s ideal for businesses that need to transfer their data securely over public or shared networks, such as the internet.
Layer 3 vs. Layer 2 EncryptionWhile Layer 2 encryption only works within local networks, Layer 3 encryption protects data traffic across networks – regardless of the underlying infrastructure. This enables secure communication between locations, data centers, and remote workers.
Benefits of Layer 3 Encryption- End-to-end protection: Secure data traffic across the entire transmission network
- High flexibility: Independent of physical networks and transmission technologies
- Scalability: Easily adaptable to growing corporate structures
- Suitable for industrial use: Solutions like RAD SecFlow are optimized for use in harsh environments
- Financial sector: Secure sensitive financial and customer data
- Authorities & Public Institutions: Protection of confidential information over public networks
- Critical infrastructures: Robust solutions for utilities, transport and water management
- Telecommunications & Network Operators: Providing secure connections for customers
With the RAD SecFlow, we offer a Layer 3 encryption solution that has been specially developed for industrial requirements and critical infrastructures. Thanks to its compact design (DIN rail mounting) and extended temperature range, the SecFlow is ideal for demanding environments.
