Map Encryption

NTM offers encryption for NTM files and Orion Network Atlas files.

Encrypt maps

With NTM, you can protect stored and exported maps with a password. This secures detailed network information contained in maps from being used by unauthorized persons. NTM uses FIPS-compliant encryption to secure map data in native NTM map files.

  • You can use maps from earlier versions of NTM but you will be prompted to change all SNMP v3 credentials which are not using FIPS compliant algorithms.
  • "Proxy maps" created in previous versions of NTM and Network Atlas are not compatible with new version of NTM running in FIPS mode. If you need to use such older maps, you must disable the FIPS requirement on the operating system.
  • If you change the FIPS requirement in your operating system, either by disabling or enabling FIPS, you must restart NTM if it is running at the time.
