“Network security embedded into the colocation infrastructure is a game-changer,” said Manuel D. Medina, CEO of Cyxtera. “The physical security of a data centre, while important, leaves customers open to cyberattack via the network, which is a more pervasive threat. We founded Cyxtera to offer modern enterprises the option of getting secure infrastructure at the start of their colocation experience, not as an afterthought.”
Gartner recently identified software-defined perimeter as one of the top technologies for information security. Further, they reported that “by 2021, 60% of enterprises will phase out network VPNs for digital business communications in favour of software-defined perimeters.”
