    ensures RoCE resilience and efficiency at scale.

    Secure Your Infrastructure


    In an era where data privacy is key, ConnectX-6 Lx adapters offer advanced, built-
    in capabilities that bring security down to the endpoints with unprecedented
    performance and scalability. ConnectX-6 Lx offers IPsec inline encryption and
    decryption acceleration. ASAP2 connection-tracking hardware offload accelerates
    Layer 4 firewall performance.

    ConnectX-6 Lx also delivers supply chain protection with hardware root-of-trust


    (RoT) for secure boot and firmware updates using RSA cryptography and cloning-
    protection, via a device-unique key, to guarantee firmware authenticity.
