Security

Security is fast becoming the most critical component of companies using IP services to communicate with the outside world, including clients, suppliers and Channel Partners.

Facing increasingly sophisticated technological threats, from malicious emails to DDoS attacks, organizations of all sizes have now recognised the importance of a comprehensive security strategy. Claranet works with Channel Partners to minimise the risk of attack, and ensure minimal disruption when things do go wrong.

For CHannel Partners and customers, the impact of security threats can dramatically impact businesses. Total loss of business due to network downtime can lead to bankruptcy. Customers with inadequate security precautions face potential loss of sensitive information, email downtime or wasted man-hours due to viruses or spam.

Multiple Solutions From Leading Partners

Claranet has teamed up with some of the biggest names in the industry to offer multiple security solutions to Channel Partners and customers. Every aspect of networking, from routers and switches to extranets and remote users, can pose a potential threat.

BorderScout is an industry-leading email security solution offered to Claranet Channel Partners. Deployed across multiple servers in Claranet's pan-European datacentres, BorderScout scans all incoming email, quarantining potentially dangerous files on a remote server and allowing desktop-based access when needed.


The solution is highly configurable, as well as providing three signature-based scanning solutions and heuristic analysis to provide unparalleled accuracy and detection rates. Users can determine the level of protection required for them, providing individual whitelists and blacklists for all users.

Firewall services are provided by Juniper Networks, which provides security solutions to 25 of the top ISPs in the world.

Managed network security provides a range of options for Channel Partners to ensure network safety. As well as firewall and virus-protection solutions, Claranet offers corporate users managed DDoS Mitigation solutions that are based on Cisco Guard hardware and can offer protection that filters up to 1Gbps of malicious traffic.
