Security Features
Riverbed Technology is the only vendor to offer end-to-end security in its WAN optimization solution. By offering a multi-layer security feature set, the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS®) enables the protection of data in motion and at rest. In doing so, Riverbed® helps eliminate any trade-off between security and performance for customers who want the best of both worlds.
Enhanced Acceleration and Support for SSL Traffic
Steelhead® appliances from Riverbed accelerate SSL WAN traffic to deliver LAN-like performance.
Riverbed is the first company to introduce true SSL acceleration (not SSL off-load) that doesn't require the distribution of certificates or private keys to the edge, yet does enable SSL traffic to be decrypted, optimized, and then re-encrypted before moving onto the WAN. When traffic reaches the other side of the network, the same process is repeated: decryption, decoding (the other side of the Riverbed optimization algorithm), and then re-encryption for delivery to the client. These optimizations are bi-directional, ensuring that all traffic is encrypted end-to-end from client to server, to or from branch offices.
Some other symmetric application acceleration solutions may claim to accelerate encrypted traffic, but they require the distribution of certificates or private keys to the branch office, which introduces significant security vulnerabilities, and isn't acceptable to most IT architects.
Riverbed continues to improve on its industry-leading SSL acceleration functionality by making it even easier to setup and manage. Features include auto-discovery of SSL peers, support for digital certificate domain-level wildcards, and manageability improvements for peer trust relationships. These features simplify SSL acceleration across the enterprise to enable greater scalability and reduce administrative overhead.
Appliance-to-Appliance Encryption
Steelhead appliances offer SSL encryption between appliances as an option. Turning this feature on ensures that the references and underlying data shared between two sites are encrypted before they leave the Steelhead appliances. If you already use a VPN to encrypt data between two sites, this feature may not be needed. Steelhead appliances support DES, 3DES, AES-128, and AES-256 encryption. Steelhead appliances can be required to authenticate with a Unified Trust Model using self-signed or certificate authorities.
Encrypted MAPI
This feature allows Steelhead to operate in secure customer environments where email encryption is used (often by default) between the client and host servers.
Data Store Encryption
RiOS also provides encryption capability for the data stored on disk in Steelhead appliances for organizations that require high levels of security or face stringent compliance requirements. Encryption standards supported include AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256 and keys are maintained in an encrypted key vault.
