A system and method involve determining that one or more data packets received from a first device on a communications network are one of data at rest and data in transit, performing one of an encryption operation and a decryption operation on the data packets, and storing the data packets in a memory device if they are data at rest or transmitting the data packets over the communications network if they are data in transit. If the data packets are data in transit, the method may involve, prior to transmission, encapsulating information into a frame of the data packets to indicate they are data in transit. The data packets may be compressed prior to encryption. The determination that the data packets are one of data at rest and data in transit may be based upon a value of at least one data field of the data packets.
