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!
Single sign-on (SSO) for external cloud applications
The LANCOM Trusted Access Client (LTA Client) supports user-friendly and fast working by taking over the login processes for password-protected applications. Thanks to Single Sign-On (SSO), users do not have to re-enter their access data after logging in to the Active Directory once, allowing them to access external web applications seamlessly, conveniently, and securely.

The European NIS2 directive is prompting many companies to re-evaluate their network and information security. For us at LANCOM Systems, NIS2 motivates us both to provide our partners and customers with the best possible support in implementing the directive and to comply with it ourselves – with our products and our own security policy.
We have recently proven the quality of the latter and certified compliance with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard in the areas of LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) and Service & Support processes. Learn more about our commitment to the highest security standards and the protection of sensitive data:
