The modern business landscape is awash with interconnected devices and services. The rise of enterprise cloud services (where businesses store and access data remotely) created a complex web of traffic flowing beyond the traditional confines of a company network. Coupled with the explosion of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, this has multiplied the number of potential entry points for a network.
Further muddying the waters is the trend of BYOD, where employees use their personal devices for work. This introduces a range of security risks, as IT departments have less control over these devices and the data they carry. We also cannot forget that the Internet of Things throws another layer of complexity onto the network. These "smart" devices, from industrial sensors to office thermostats, connect to the internet and generate additional data traffic.
The issue? Traditional WAN services, designed for a simpler time with fewer devices and centralized data, struggle to cope with this surge in complexity. Bandwidth limitations lead to sluggish performance, which hinders productivity. Additionally, on-premises security appliances, once the bulwark of network defense, are often siloed and can't effectively monitor and manage the ever-expanding network perimeter. Blind spots where unauthorized access and cyberattacks sneak through undetected are created. Businesses become vulnerable to data breaches, malware infections and other security incidents that can have crippling financial and reputational consequences.
BBT.live's cloud-based NSaaS platform, BeBroadband as a Service, for example, addresses these challenges. It eliminates the need for expensive, complex WAN optimization and security appliances, and offers a full range of functionalities, including SASE, SSE and Zero Trust Network Access, along with Unified Threat Management and Next Generation Firewall capabilities.
By unifying security policies across cloud and physical data centers, BeBroadband as a Service simplifies operations and creates a secure environment. Businesses will utilize everyday internet access and mobile device connectivity with low latency, regardless of user location.
