Legacy Encryption Can’t Keep Up with Modern Cloud Demands

Zero Trust demands encrypted data paths everywhere. Legacy VPNs and cloud-native defaults can’t keep pace—creating security and compliance gaps for HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CISA ZTMM where cloud, hybrid, and cross-region traffic remain insufficiently protected.

Legacy encryption designs fall short of the zero trust and compliance requirements in frameworks like CISA ZTMM 2.0 and NIST 800-207.

A single IPsec tunnel on AWS or Azure VPN gateways tops out near 1.25 Gbps, turning encryption into a performance bottleneck as cloud traffic scales.

Shatter performance barriers of IPSec

Aviatrix HPE delivers distributed, software-based encryption for multicloud traffic—turning cloud compute into high-performance encryption engines without hardware limits. HPE scales to 100+ Gbps hybrid throughput and up to 1 Tbps+ cloud-to-cloud using parallel tunnels and ECMP. Consistent, governed encryption supports CISA ZTMM 2.0, NIST 800-207, HIPAA 2025, and PCI DSS 4.0 requirements.

  • Multi-Tunnel, Multi-Core

    Our patented architecture builds parallel encrypted pathways that break past the single-core limits of traditional VPNs.

  • Automation & Intelligence

    The Aviatrix Controller automates provisioning, tunnel orchestration, policy enforcement, and lifecycle operations — removing complexity.

  • Centralized Key Management

    The Controller centralizes key rotation and governance across all gateways, ensuring modern cryptographic agility at scale.

Encryption for the Zero Trust Era

Establish a secure, scalable network fabric where encrypted traffic flows at cloud speed. HPE provides end-to-end protection across clouds, regions, and workloads—supporting encryption-in-transit expectations in CISA ZTMM 2.0, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other compliance frameworks.

Provisioning

Automated Provisioning

The Controller detects instance size and automatically provisions the optimal number of parallel tunnels—removing manual tuning and ensuring consistent, high-speed encrypted connectivity.

Automated Provisioning

Intelligent Load Balancing

Traffic flows distribute across active tunnels using cloud-native ECMP to provide multi-tens to hundreds of Gbps of encrypted throughput and optimal resource utilization.

Intelligent Load Balancing

High Availability and Failover

Tunnel health is continuously monitored. Any degradation triggers seamless failover, maintaining encrypted availability across gateways without operator intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pattern Image
  • Will HPE encrypt all my cloud traffic, or only certain paths?

    HPE encrypts all major runtime paths across clouds, regions, and services—including cross-cloud routing, inter-region flows, east–west communication, metadata endpoints, and control-plane traffic that TLS, cloud VPNs, and MACsec do not protect. This provides full-path encryption aligned with zero trust and modern compliance frameworks.

  • Do I need special hardware to use HPE?

    No. HPE is 100% software-based and runs on standard cloud compute in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and OCI. For hybrid connectivity, Aviatrix Edge enables 100+ Gbps encrypted site-to-cloud performance without requiring proprietary hardware or MACsec-capable switches.

  • How is HPE different from what I use today (VPN, TLS, MACsec)?

    Cloud VPNs and IPsec tunnels cap near 1.25 Gbps and don’t scale. MACsec encrypts only a single physical link. TLS protects applications, not cloud routing or service-to-service flows. HPE encrypts the entire runtime fabric, scaling from tens to hundreds of Gbps up to 1 Tbps+ cloud-to-cloud.

  • Will HPE help me meet zero trust and compliance requirements?

    Yes. HPE provides consistent, enforced encryption-in-transit aligned to CISA ZTMM 2.0, NIST 800-207, HIPAA 2025, PCI DSS 4.0, and FedRAMP expectations. Centralized key rotation and governance ensure encrypted coverage across clouds and regions for audit-ready operations.

  • Will HPE add latency or impact my applications?

    No. HPE uses distributed gateways, multi-core processing, parallel tunnels, and ECMP routing to avoid bottlenecks. Tests show minimal added latency even at multi-hundred-Gbps throughput, making HPE ideal for AI pipelines, analytics, replication, and real-time workloads.
