AWS has expanded Direct Connect capabilities in Lagos, Nigeria, offering 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps dedicated connections with MACsec encryption at the Rack Centre LGS1 data center.

AWS expands Direct Connect services in the Philippines, offering 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps dedicated connections with MACsec encryption at the ePLDT data center near Makati City.

Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within the Digital Realty ATH1 data center near Athens, Greece. By connecting your network to AWS at the new location, you gain private, direct access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and AWS Local Zones. This site is the first AWS Direct Connect location within Greece. This Direct Connect location offers dedicated 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps connections with MACsec encryption available. The Direct Connect service enables you to establish a private, physical network connection between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment. These private connections can provide a more consistent network experience than those made over the public internet. For more information on the over 147 Direct Connect locations worldwide, visit the locations section of the Direct Connect product detail pages.

StealthCores launched StealthMACsec, a comprehensive IEEE 802.1AE compliant MACsec engine that brings advanced side-channel countermeasures to Ethernet network security. Building on the proven security foundation of StealthAES, StealthMACsec delivers line-rate processing up to 10 Gbps on FPGA and even faster on ASIC while maintaining the highest levels of protection against sophisticated attacks. As Ethernet networks become increasingly critical to defense, industrial, and embedded systems, the need for link-layer security has never been greater. StealthMACsec addresses …

AWS Direct Connect now supports IEEE 802.1AE MAC Security Standard (MACsec) encryption on Partner-owned interconnects terminated on supported physical devices. Partners using supported devices can now encrypt the Layer 2 connection between their edge network device and the Direct Connect device at over 100 Points of Presence globally where MACsec is supported. MACsec is designed to deliver native, near line-rate, point-to-point encryption at Layer 2 between AWS’ network device and the Partner’s edge device on the other end of that connection. Partners who enable the feature can now encrypt all customer traffic traversing the secured link. The Direct Connect User Guide provides instructions for how to set up MACsec on supported 10Gbps and 100Gbps interconnects. Partners can request MACsec-capable interconnects and manage the new feature through the Direct Connect Console or supported APIs.
