1. What is Teldat’s primary SASE and Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) offering?
Teldat’s primary cloud security service is called be.Safe Pro SSE (Security Service Edge). This solution is delivered as part of a SASE platform and integrates Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) services.
2. How is the be.Safe Pro SSE solution deployed and delivered to customers?
The solution is delivered as a cloud-based service in a Security as a Service mode. This architecture enables rapid deployment, continuous updates, and unlimited scalability, contributing to a low or even zero cost of ownership. It also uses a scalable “pay as you grow” deployment model.
3. What are the key architectural components integrated within the be.Safe Pro SSE platform?
The architecture integrates key components such as Secure Web Gateways (SWG) and Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW). SWGs function as intermediaries between users and web content, analyzing and securing traffic. The deployment of NGFW as a service adds a robust layer of security capable of blocking attacks within the network and safeguarding communication.
4. How does Teldat ensure privacy and dedicated resources for customers using be.Safe Pro SSE?
be.Safe Pro SSE features a unique private cloud infrastructure for each customer, ensuring that no IP addresses are shared and allowing for cloud resources to be reserved. This per-client logical separation guarantees maximum availability, enhanced privacy, security, and reliability.
5. Is Teldat’s SASE solution dependent on Teldat SD-WAN or specific hardware?
No, the solution is hardware agnostic and is easy to configure. While it integrates seamlessly with Teldat’s SD-WAN solution as part of the SASE platform, it is also designed to be fully interoperable with non-SD-WAN technologies. It can support both Teldat and third-party routers through a simple IPsec tunnel configuration.
6. How does be.Safe Pro SSE address the security needs of remote offices and mobile users?
7. What specific security functions do the integrated Secure Web Gateways (SWG) perform?
SWGs analyze and secure traffic passing between users and web content. They safeguard networks by enforcing security policies that allow or block access to specific websites, applications, and file downloads. Typical features include URL filtering, anti-malware detection and blocking, and application control.
8. What advanced threat intelligence capabilities does the platform leverage?
The solution provides an advanced level of security by integrating with the largest threat analysis databases on the internet, backed by the full capabilities of Teldat’s Threat Intelligence. The security services also utilize machine learning and AI analytics to assess visited sites and downloaded files for potential risks.
9. What types of malicious traffic does the Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) help prevent?
The cloud security services and NGFW’s prevent malware attacks. This includes defending against evolving threats such as phishing, spyware, crypto mining, and ransomware, while the intrusion prevention systems (IPSs) defend against browser exploits and other threats.
10. How does the management interface simplify network security for administrators?
The entire network, regardless of size, can be managed effortlessly from a single security management console that requires only a web browser and internet connection. This console is integrated with the Teldat SD-WAN solution for unified network management.
11. Which industry sectors are highlighted as benefiting from Teldat’s SASE solution?
The solution is essential for businesses in sectors like financial services (big banks), insurance, travel, distribution, healthcare, and administration especially those with a network of geographically dispersed offices. It is also utilized for securing rolling stock like trains and trams.
12. How does the “Firewall as a Service” capability enhance network traffic control?
Deploying the NGFW as a service enhances traffic control beyond just applications and browsing. It is capable of blocking attacks within the network and securing communication between headquarters, remote sites, and data centers. The NGFW can also generate policies allowing communication between branches or among third parties.
13. How does Teldat ensure high availability and minimal latency for its cloud services?
Maximum availability is guaranteed because security features are dedicated to each client and logically separated in the cloud environment. Furthermore, the be.Safe Pro SSE service leverages top-tier cloud providers and maintains multiple points of presence across five continents to ensure minimal latency for global service.
14. What specific security measures are offered for the Rolling Stock (trains and trams) use case?
The be.Safe Pro SSE NGFW solution can be installed either in the data center receiving all the traffic or directly in each rail carriage. This deployment secures both the passenger Wi-Fi network against malware infection and the staff communication network (used for corporate activities like ticketing or maintenance).
15. Beyond the core SASE features, what other advanced security services are listed by Teldat?
Teldat offers related advanced security solutions including Extended Detection & Response (XDR), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Zero Trust SD-WAN. The core solution itself includes capabilities like Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs), antivirus, antispam, sandboxing, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
