Network security

Speed is great. Prevention is better. Protection of IT infrastructure is one of the most important network provider selection criteria. A network partner is your first line of defense against evolving cyber threats.

Enterprise networks don’t risk – they secure

  • Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) - Enterprises are moving away from traditional perimeter-based security and adopting Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), which assumes no implicit trust and verifies every access attempt regardless of origin
  • Integrated SASE solutions - Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is becoming the preferred model, combining WAN capabilities with comprehensive security functions 
  • Real-time threat detection and AI integration - Providers are expected to offer both threat detection and response systems that can identify and mitigate threats in real time 
  • Visibility and monitoring - Enterprises require centralized visibility into network activity, with analytics and reporting tools that help detect anomalies and ensure compliance 
  • Scalability with security - As businesses grow and adopt technologies like IoT, edge computing and AI, they expect providers to offer scalable security solutions that adapt to evolving technologies.

We protect your mission-critical data

Security is a fundamental pillar of our networks and services. In an increasingly uncertain world, effective mitigation of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks is an important goal for enterprises looking to protect their businesses against increasingly sophisticated and destructive cyber threats (see our latest DDoS report). From the optical fiber upwards, Arelion offers a multi-layered approach to security - using built-in security mechanisms and proactive detection routines.

Our enterprise-grade network security

As the #1 ranked Internet backbone provider, Arelion manages and mitigates DDoS threats as a matter of course. Our platform proactively deals with terabit-scale attacks well before they get the chance to impact our network or our customers. Learn more about DDoS attacks and how to recognize and stop them.

In 2019, Arelion announced the implementation of RPKI – a pioneering technology which validates and secures critical route updates or BGP announcements for our global Internet backbone. Read more about RPKI here
