NGFWs have evolved beyond the traditional firewall platform to better protect organisations and enable a range of powerful cyber features with far greater control.
Endpoint protection platforms (EPPs) are an essential first line of defence, designed to detect and block malicious threats at device level using a range of capabilities that can identify newly discovered attacks based on the latest known signatures.
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) goes beyond EPP capabilities to detect new malicious threats, prevent attacks, support investigation and remediation of dynamic security incidents and enable proactive threat hunting.
High-performance NAC solutions implement policies for controlling network access by devices and users, without impeding productivity.
Wired and wireless LAN access refer to the essential technology enabling high performance, secure, dynamic connectivity to enterprise local area networks.
Data encryption is a core aspect of cybersecurity strategy, allowing sensitive data to be encoded while at rest or in transit (or both) and only usable by authorised users or machines.
Identity access management (IAM) is the technology that ensures the right people have authenticated access to the right resources at the right time for the right reasons, ensuring good cybersecurity posture and compliance to required standards.
Privileged access management (PAM) ensures that the critical functions of administrators and other privileged users are not compromised and is typically deployed alongside identity access management (IAM) solutions that govern more general users.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects featuring embedded technology for the purpose of supporting a wide range of applications. OT (Operational Technology) refers to the world of hardware and software that monitors and/or controls industrial equipment, assets and processes – so-called to distinguish it from “information technology” (IT).
CASB is central to cloud security strategy, sitting between cloud users and cloud applications to monitor activity, enforce security policy and enable organisations to enjoy the agility and performance of the cloud at significantly reduced risk.
ADCs are the gatekeepers of application performance, security and resource efficiency that today go beyond application acceleration and load balancing to execute a highly advanced suite of network and security functions.
DDI solutions manage critical core network services in an automated way – secure DNS (domain name system), DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) and IPAM (IP access management) – for maximum efficiency and accuracy.
Web application firewalls protect web applications and APIs against a variety of attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), providing a specialised defence mechanism to protect vital web assets.
SASE is a cybersecurity concept, based on the convergence of WAN capabilities and network security functions, that identifies users and devices, applies policy-based security and delivers secure access ‘as a service’ to the application/data.
SIEM solutions’ fundamental role is collecting and analysing all available security-related data – typically very large quantities of great complexity – and producing real-time, prioritised insights for security teams to act upon, and detailed reporting for compliance purposes.
UEBA solutions counter insider threats that would otherwise go undetected by applying machine learning technology to identify when users and/or entities deviate from regular behaviour in ways that accurately represent potential security risks.
SOAR solutions enable organisations to respond to security threats and low-level security incidents without human intervention, complementing cybersecurity teams with an intelligent, automated digital capability that frees up resources for other tasks.
Secure email gateways guard one of the most risk-prone attack vectors – email – by preventing the dissemination of malware, malicious attachments, phishing attacks and unwanted spam, and preserving the integrity of email content intended only for their stated recipients.
Network detection and response (NDR) has evolved from the ‘network traffic analysis’ market category, reflecting the increased sophistication of behavioural analytics and AI to improve threat detection capabilities without compromising the performance of high-performance networks.
Network packet brokers consolidate real-time monitoring information from probes and sensors distributed across the network, optimising the accuracy of security tools with the highest quality data and illuminating any ‘blind-spots’ to provide a comprehensive view of network traffic.
Unified communications equips individual users and teams within organisations with a single platform for all their messaging, video, voice, mobility, conferencing and collaboration needs – for enhanced productivity and a consistent user experience.
Public cloud services offer significant on-demand scale advantages and, unlike ‘private cloud’, are available as commodity services to many multiple customers from a single provider. Choosing the right blend of public vs. private as part of a dynamic, hybrid cloud strategy is a key objective of almost all organisations.
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is a software-defined, unified system that combines all the elements of a traditional data centre: storage, compute, networking and management.
Backup and recovery are critical to business continuity and disaster recovery, enabling organisations to maintain separately and securely stored copies of any/all relevant data with the ability to use this to continue operating with minimal disruption following a catastrophic event, prolonged crisis, ransomware attack, etc.
Solid state arrays are shared storage device resources that utilise solid state drive technologies (such as Flash storage) to hold/serve significant quantities of data within a very small form factor and low power consumption compared to – for example – hard disk (HDD) storage.
Server appliances (also virtual server appliances) require minimal configuration because they feature all the necessary applications to operate prior to installation.
SD-WAN provides dynamic, policy-based, application path selection across multiple WAN connections and supports additional services such as WAN optimisation and firewalls – increasingly important as organisations migrate services from the data centre to the edge.
Distributed file system storage uses a single parallel file system to cluster multiple storage nodes together, providing high throughput and capacity in a linear manner and presenting a single namespace and storage pool to provide high-bandwidth data access for multiple hosts in parallel.

Software-defined networks are those that that separate the control plane from the data/forwarding plane in networking equipment, to enable more automated provisioning and policy-based management of network resources across the enterprise.
The role of cloud management platforms is to manage multi-cloud services and resources with regards to provisioning and orchestration, service request management, inventory and classification, monitoring and analytics, cost management/resource optimisation, cloud migration/backup/DR, and identity, security and compliance.
IT infrastructure management solutions aim to minimise downtime and optimise business productivity by providing a structure for the control of IT resources – hardware, software, networking – across both physical and virtual environments.

Cyber-attacks are constantly evolving, and attackers are finding increasingly new and inventive ways to infiltrate networks.
As well as more and more data being stolen from companies, larger scale cyber-attacks like WannaCry and Petya/NotPetya are becoming more prevalent as well. Here we introduce a few of our vital vendor solutions designed to keep your business protected and ensure you stay one step ahead of the attackers.
Data is one of the most valuable company assets and whilst robust data security is paramount to all organisations today, cyber-attacks are inevitable and data loss will occur. Cyber-attacks targeting data is a growing challenge especially since the majority of the data stolen has a value and is of use to hackers.
Presented here are the key vendors in data security to support you to stay one step ahead of constantly evolving threats.
Today’s data centres need to be cost-effective, agile and secure as the growing demand on applications and data workloads increase.
With the assumption that attacks are inevitable and that demands for more storage and more workload changes are on the rise here are a few of our carefully chosen vendors who can support the rapid pace of change in the datacentre.
Nearly all the attacks within companies starts with an insider, whether the insider is malicious or compromised the insider is the biggest threat to the network.
Many organisations are shifting their focus to tackling insider threats. Here are a few leading technologies to help you boost your defences.
The Internet of Things brings with it an explosion of data being added to networks, stored and processed and whilst the trend brings opportunities is also carries risk.
The more devices connected to your network the larger the attack surface, therefore visibility is crucial. You cannot secure what you cannot see. View the vendor solutions here which can support you as the number of connected devices continues to grow. The challenge is constantly evolving.
There are many considerations for organisations when they decide to move workloads to the cloud.
What workloads should you migrate first? Do you plan on going fully cloud or adopting a hybrid option initially? How can you keep your data secure and protected in the cloud? How do you ensure that the right individuals have access to the right data at the right time?
More and more companies are making the switch to O365. Exclusive Networks offer a range of vital solutions to ensure you can identify, protect and restrict access to your vital company data while you migrate critical workloads to the cloud. Here we present the market-leading vendors who can support your move to the cloud.
Orchestration is becoming more and more important for companies to utilise as the sprawling tools that clients have can lead to alert fatigue, and solutions that are underutilised. Orchestration solutions package tasks together from different security and networking solutions to optimise workflows.
Automating and orchestrating your network environments can bring business benefits, including efficiency, reductions in operational costs; and allows networks to scale and become more agile and responsive.
You can’t protect what you can’t see.
As data demands increase and more devices are added to networks, they become more complex.
Security is a major concern as network attacks grow and become more sophisticated. As well as the right tools it’s vital to also have greater visibility and intelligence to counteract and mitigate against threats.
