Network security

From fundamentals to hands-on

By definition, network security describes the technical and organizational protection of the internal IT infrastructure with all its data, systems, devices, and applications to enable secure digitalization. These security mechanisms not only protect the data center, but also all locations and the cloud itself. Effective network security fends off unauthorized access, data manipulation or data theft with blackmail, system paralysis (DDoS attacks), and other damage caused by hackers, malware, and viruses.

It ensures that data is exchanged confidentially and with integrity and is always available via VPN (Virtual Private Networks) or ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access). However, secure networks are created primarily through comprehensive information on network security and network protection, as well as targeted measures to enforce cyber protection policies at all levels. The best way to get started right now is with LANCOM insider knowledge on the subject of network security!

Digital sovereignty in daily steps

Network security and digital sovereignty are both major undertakings – but they become much more manageable when broken down into small, actionable daily steps. That is exactly what our practical digital sovereignty checklist offers:

How digital sovereignty works

Feature of the month

Integration of LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall licenses into your Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA)

Effective immediately, LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall licenses can be billed monthly under your SPLA agreement, in addition to LMC licenses. This offers a simple and flexible way to manage licensing and costs – ideal for larger installations or tailored customer projects. Activation takes place directly in the LANCOM Management Cloud, under the "License Info" tab of the respective device. There, the functionality of the Unified Firewall can be flexibly adjusted at any time by switching between license types (Basic or Full License). You can now also change the vFirewall variant as required (from S to XL).

Notes: 

  • The monthly billing model requires a current SPLA contract with LANCOM Systems. Please contact your LANCOM sales team for further information.
  • LCOS FX 11.1 RU2 is required for the integration of LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall licenses into your SPLA.
