AYLESBURY, U.K. - Dec. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- Next generation of Ectocryp Blue released by Airbus Defence and Space meets highest UK data security standards

Airbus Defence and Space has developed a next generation version of its Ectocryp Blue high grade data encryption technology that enables government and military users to communicate Secret and above information over public networks. Developed at its Newport site in South Wales, the latest version of Ectocryp Blue will meet highest security standards and make it easier for users to set up and manage networks.

Ectocryp Blue is an Enterprise-level product developed by UK experts to meet CESG's rigorous standards for network layer cryptography (PRIME Suite A). The new PRIME standard is CESG's preferred strategic solution for encrypting communications carried over IP networks. It enables users at Secret and above to create secure complex networks using multiple devices which are secure.

The release of the next generation of Ectocryp Blue builds on the success of its predecessors Ectocryp Blue (HAIPE*), Ectocryp Yellow (PRIME) and other Ectocryp solutions that are used by governments and armed forces across the world to protect sensitive data and minimise the potential for cyber attacks. All existing Ectocryp systems are fully upgradable to the new PRIME interoperability standard and upgrades can be done onsite in order to minimise disruption to existing networks.

Dr Phil Jones, Head of CyberSecurity at Airbus Defence and Space in the UK said  "We have built a proud UK heritage in the development of cutting edge encryption technology used across the country.  This latest model is state of the art, complies with the highest Government standards and gives users more ease of use and flexibility."
