Data Storage and Sovereignty

Manage data on-premises, in secure cloud storage or in a combination of the two to meet your needs for data sovereignty, compliance, performance and costs.



Optimise Cloud Performance

From cloud back-ups to follow-the-sun development and test projects, enable the enterprises to quickly and securely move data to Microsoft Azure with LAN-like performance.

Accelerates data migration to Azure by overcoming network bandwidth, latency and quality challenges inherent in sending data over the Internet.

Initial data migration 

Moving data into IaaS for the first time can often take days due to WAN constraints. Shrink days to hours.

Ongoing data replication / synchronisation 

When using Azure for remote replication and backups over the internet, high latencies and poor network quality inherent with Internet connections can cause lengthy data transfer times.
 

Multi-site, end-user access to Azure 
As customers look to leverage Azure for development and test, or collaboration between different geographies, remote users may experience long delays in downloading files due to high latency on the WAN.

> Anti-Malware with Web Reputation

Get timely protection against the constant malware attacks on your systems and data. Leverage the latest in global threat intelligence.






> Intrusion Detection and Prevention

Shield unpatched vulnerabilities like Shellshock and Heartbleed from attack with security policies that update automatically to ensure the right protection is applied to the right cloud servers at the right time.
 



> Advanced Host Firewall 
  • Network firewall, high availability, and VPN technologies, integrates a comprehensive set of next-generation firewall technologies, including Application Control, IPS, anti-malware, network access control enforcement, and comprehensive user awareness. Fully compatible with Microsoft Azure for establishing site-to-site and/or client-to-site connections to its cloud services, and creating a virtual DMZ in Azure to implement an additional high-security layer.
  • Create a firewall perimeter around each cloud server to block attacks and limit communication to only the ports and protocols necessary, with the ability to log and audit traffic for compliance reporting at the instance level.



> Secure site to site VPN Connection  


Secure connectivity from you to resources on Azure.



> Integrity Monitoring

Meet your compliance file and system monitoring requirements while ensuring unauthorised or out-of-policy changes - across files, ports, registries, and more—are detected and reported.




> Log Inspection

Use the centralised security console to identify important security events buried in multiple log entries; and, forward suspicious events to an SIEM system or centralised logging server for correlation, reporting and archiving.




> Application Scanning

Scan applications and platforms continuously. Expert testing and false positive removal guards against the latest vulnerabilities without the administrative pain.




> Encryption
Protects data at rest by allowing only authorised access to information in real time (uses FIPS 140-2 approved AES 256 encryption for data protection). Unique key management capabilities enable a highly secure methodology for data destruction, a key compliance requirement.






> Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Provides proven application security and data loss prevention for your applications on Microsoft Azure.

 


> Easy Administration

Administrators can manage security functions easily using an integrated console with a set of customisable policy templates and rules.

The integrated administrative console makes managing security for deployments on Azure easy by simplifying the security of cloud deployments:

  • Integrated Customisable Dashboard - enables administrators to see the health of their security environment at a glance.
  • Centralised Alert Function - provides immediate notification of events or activities that may require immediate attention.
  • Deep Security Events and Reports - provides 16 different types of reports including user reports, security module-specific reports, and general reports with custom filtering.
  • Customisable Policy Templates - allow users to enable and disable security controls on the fly, based on the specific rules they have assigned

> Email Archiving
Simplifying user access, email management, and eDiscovery/compliance.
  • Journal Archiving for Compliance - meet government and regulatory compliance standards, and adherence to retention and defensible deletion policies.
  • Searching - Easy-to-use search capabilities, from basic searches for misplaced email to advanced Boolean searches for eDiscovery requests.
  • Mobile Apps - Flexible and full-featured mobile apps for Android and iOS, enabling mobile users to search, download, respond to or even resend any of their email, even if deleted from the server.

> Load Balancing for Azure

Performance, Security, and Redundancy


  • Balance traffic and resilience between multiple Azure locations
  • Load balance VMs in Azure
  • Network Layer 4 load balancing
  • Application Layer 7 load balancing
  • SSL decryption / termination

  • High availability across on premise and cloud based application pools and intelligent global traffic distribution across multiple private cloud infrastructures and Azure becomes possible to support highly resilient, scalable and smart application deployments.
