Vanguard 7300 Series platforms do not support SAM encryption. Certain SAM 
specific menu items in Examine, List, Copy, Delete, Stats and Configuration

• Supports DES, Triple-DES (168-bit) and AES
• High performance and secure connections for VPN applications
• Maximized usage of bandwidth by decreasing frame size (sends more data 

over the WAN link thus reducing the number of links)

• Increased application performance and service availability with a hardware 

based solution

• Integrated Vanguard solution
