Overview
Aryaka
Aryaka offers a unified SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) platform designed to simplify how you connect and protect your global workforce. By combining a private core network with advanced security features, the platform eliminates the unpredictability of the public internet. You can ensure your business-critical applications perform consistently for every user, whether they are working in a branch office or from a remote location.
The solution solves the complexity of managing multiple point products by integrating SD-WAN, firewall-as-a-service, and secure web gateways into a single managed service. You can scale your network infrastructure rapidly without the typical headaches of hardware procurement or manual configuration. It is particularly effective for mid-to-large enterprises with international operations that require high-performance connectivity and robust protection against evolving digital threats.
Portnox Cloud
Portnox Cloud helps you secure your entire network infrastructure without the headache of managing on-site hardware or complex appliances. You can gain full visibility into every device connecting to your network, whether they are managed corporate laptops, personal mobile devices, or unmanaged IoT hardware. By moving network access control to the cloud, you eliminate the need for local servers and simplify the way you manage authentication across multiple locations.
You can enforce strict security policies and automate responses to non-compliant devices in real-time. The platform integrates directly with your existing cloud identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace to streamline user onboarding. Whether your team is working from a central office or a home coffee shop, you can ensure only authorized users and healthy devices access your sensitive digital assets.
