Public-sector IT executives face increasing pressure to deploy flexible solutions that enable international, national and local government agencies to share data and access critical information quickly and securely. Ensuring that government network resources are widely available as well as highly secure has become a top priority.

AEP Networks has an impressive record developing products that protect sensitive information for government agencies and critical infrastructure sectors. AEP provides secure connectivity for a wide range of government users in the United States, United Kingdom and throughout Europe and Asia.

With a broad range of solutions that meet key government certifications, AEP addresses the demands for secure communications, network encryption and remote access across the full spectrum of government requirements, including Criminal Justice, Homeland Security, Foreign Diplomatic Service and Criminal Intelligence agencies. Whether users are in government buildings, program offices, secure facilities, or connecting with mobile technology from field locations, AEP Networks provides them with the application and network protection necessary to keep sensitive information secure.

Criminal Justice and Criminal Intelligence networks comprise complex and technically challenging access scenarios. Such environments must protect both home workers and field operatives across a range of security levels, from Sensitive-But-Unclassified (SBU) levels all the way to Secret and above. And the access itself encompasses simple "access-to-base" scenarios to geographically dispersed, inter-agency dynamic connections.

Criminal justice and intelligence professionals, working under difficult circumstances, need technologies that are easy to use, robust and readily available, yet secure enough to work over some of the most vulnerable transports, including WiFi, GPRS, Internet, and broadband. At the same time, network administrators must manage complex, cross-domain authentication and highly granular access policies to ensure that users interact with only the specific resources that they have been cleared to use.

AEP Networks has proven experience in providing secure network encryption and remote application access for Criminal Justice and Criminal Intelligence national and international networks in the USA and Europe. At the highest level, our network security and key management products are approved to FIPS 140-2 Level 4, with higher-level UK Government approval on our Net product range.

Diplomatic support in the Foreign and Home Offices can mean travelling to locations where reliable and secure network infrastructures just do not exist. In uncertain environments, you need to be certain that your link to the outside world is always available. With AEP Networks, the limitations of traditional communications barriers disappear ... regardless of location. From voice, data, video and internet, we can provide connectivity to anywhere, from anywhere and in any environment.
