Cradlepoint, part of Ericsson, introduces NetCloud Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), optimized for 5G environments, providing seamless connectivity anywhere. In this detailed demonstration for a large retailer, Cradlepoint showcases the setup of a network in under 6 minutes, followed by the application of various security and acceptable use policies. The demo highlights the simplicity of managing policy templates from a single console in a multi-tenant environment.
NetCloud SASE integrates cellular-centric SD-WAN and security into a unified, user-friendly solution. It extends beyond fixed sites to secure dynamic environments where site locations are changing, vehicles are in motion, IoT devices are proliferating, and employees are working remotely. The solution ensures robust SD-WAN with SASE capabilities.
During the demo, lead product manager Daniel Scarberry demonstrates the creation of a new secure network, implementing policies that include web category-based enforcement and malware prevention. The ease of deploying these policies, even in a complex multi-tenant environment, is emphasized.
Key features of NetCloud SASE include its support for 5G and the ability to manage everything from a single console. This makes it ideal for scenarios where quick deployment and stringent security are essential, such as in retail, emergency services, and mobile workforces.
The demo also explores advanced use cases like Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for remote and third-party access, highlighting Cradlepoint’s comprehensive approach to network security. The integration with AI and machine learning for enhanced threat detection and response is also discussed.
Viewers will learn how Cradlepoint’s solution simplifies the complexity of network management while providing robust security features, ensuring that enterprises can securely and efficiently manage their networks in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
