Ingrian Partners With nCipher

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Ingrian Networks, the leader in Active Application Security solutions, announced it has extended its strategic relationship with nCipher Inc. (LSE:NCH), a leading provider of cryptographic IT security solutions, to empower customers with a new, unsurpassed level of protection for information delivered across the Internet. As a result of this collaboration, Ingrian now delivers the highest level of SSL security and private key protection available in a single security platform.

This breakthrough capability, now available in Ingrian’s i215 and i225 secure networking platforms, is the result of collaborating with nCipher to ensure its cryptographic modules are compliant with the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) 140-2 Level 3 specification for protection of private cryptographic keys. This new specification significantly enhances the security of SSL transactions and virtually eliminates the threat of cyber attacks via SSL tunnels.“Sensitive business data is only as secure as the private keys that protect that data,” said Rod Murchison, VP of Product and Corporate Development at Ingrian Networks. “If a cyber attacker gets the master key, it can unlock a lot of sensitive data and be very costly to businesses. This new FIPS-compliant technology offers customers the most advanced security available for private cryptographic keys and SSL transactions. It’s the level of protection that a growing number of customers want and expect from Ingrian platforms.” Ingrian Networks Inc.nCipher Corporation Ltd.
