SecureNet delivers layer 2 connectivity for MSPs that is secure by design because it does not provide any point of Internet ingress or egress by default. Rather, SecureNet provides customers with private connectivity between their site locations with options to interconnect to the Internet, to private cloud services (including Activa IaaS and AI Cloud), and to Public Cloud provides including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Our focus in offering SecureNet layer 2 connectivity for MSPs is to empower MSPs to exceed traditional approaches recommended by firewall vendors.
SecureNet delivers security by design by empowering the customer to control where they allow external access, if at all, and it reduces both costs and complexity by avoiding the need to implement firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and other security measures only needed when the customer’s sites are connected using the public Internet.
The performance of SecureNet connections is also able to be guaranteed and managed directly, because both ingress and egress can be controlled, making it idea for critical communications and real-time applications.
How does SecureNet work?
SecureNet provides customers with a Layer 2 connection configured to their networking specifications, allowing for private control of Layer 3 and above addressing and routing to suit any requirement. Connections can be between customer sites, or between sites and data centre locations, with termination points available throughout Australia and New Zealand.
An illustration of the operation of SecureNet is provided below.
What are the benefits?
Customers benefit from the security by design of SecureNet, and are able to decide exactly where and how they allow any form of uncontrolled access. Private connections can be made to private and public cloud services, and to the public Internet, allowing firewall security to be consolidated to the minimum number of necessary locations on the network. This degree of control allows the customer to reduce costs and increase security, and the performance of connectivity is enhanced by eliminating the need to tunnel and encrypt inter-site communications that are no longer exposed to the public Internet.
MSPs benefit by reducing the attack surface of their customers and providing a communications solution that improves performance and control. The MSP can provide a direct connection to Activa DCaaS, to their own private cloud, or to public cloud providers, secure in the knowledge that those connections are never exposed to the public Internet and are inherently private and secure. In short SecureNet layer 2 connectivity for MSPs empowers your MSP to stand out from your competitors.
