Security and resiliency are top priorities for all organizations today, particularly those dealing with compliance issues, such as banks and healthcare providers. We’ve all read about data breaches and other cyber-attacks damaging reputations; they also cause loss of productivity, loss of revenues and can result in substantial fines. According to Small Business Trends, 43 percent of cyber-attacks target small business, and 60 percent of small companies go out of business within six months of being attacked. With the need to securely off-load Internet traffic at the edge, and encrypt sensitive business data traversing public broadband circuits, stronger security features have become essential throughout the network. 

For many years, Ecessa has included a stateful Layer 4 firewall in our wide area network devices. This met the edge security requirements for many organizations, sometimes in conjunction with a purpose-built firewall at their headquarters. Technological advances and our 18-year tradition of innovation drove us to develop intellectual property that not only meets market needs for advanced security, but also offers the greatest customization options with unlimited technical support.

Ecessa recognizes every network is unique. Our goal is to empower network architects to easily create the exact solutions they need, with uncompromised security and resilience. 

Upgrading to Ecessa’s secure SD-WAN is your next strategic step in protecting your IT environments and ensuring your networks stay Never Down®.
