Advancing military network security

Ensuring the security of classified information and strategic assets is paramount within the military sector. As data traverses between disparate locations, such as military barracks, the demand for robust security measures escalates. Military organizations confront a relentless barrage of cyber threats, ranging from sophisticated attacks like advanced persistent threats to emerging vulnerabilities. Consequently, there's an imperative for network solutions that not only facilitate seamless communication but also adhere to stringent security protocols. In this context, the integration of Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) and SD-Branch emerges as a transformative approach, offering centralized control, encryption protocols, and granular access controls to fortify network defenses. By placing security at the forefront, these solutions bolster military networks against evolving threats, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information.

Protecting classified information in a complex threat landscape

In the military sector, safeguarding classified information and strategic assets is paramount. However, the necessity to exchange data between diverse locations, such as military barracks, poses a significant challenge. Cyber threats, including sophisticated attacks like advanced persistent threats, are persistent and demand continuous enhancement of protective measures.

Empowering military networks with SD-WAN and SD-Branch

Recognizing the need for comprehensive solutions, military network administrators are turning to software-driven approaches. Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) offers a transformative solution by automating network management and control. This not only simplifies the tasks of administrators but also enhances resource utilization and minimizes errors, thereby bolstering network security.

SD-WAN revolutionizes connectivity and application sharing by creating a virtual overlay of existing data transfer infrastructure. Its primary focus lies in managing and monitoring connections between headquarters and branch offices, optimizing transport and data flow in the process. Complementing this, SD-Branch extends the orchestration and monitoring beyond network functions, integrating LAN, Wi-Fi, and security (including Unified Threat Management and Zero Trust infrastructures) segments across all branches. This comprehensive approach ensures centralized management and coordination, enhancing digital productivity.

FAQs on Military Network Security

How can LANCOM ensure the security and confidentiality of network configuration data?

The LANCOM Management Cloud (Public) is "Engineered in Germany", hosted at a German data center, and is thus subject to German data protection law. This allows LANCOM to guarantee a high level of data security and legally compliant handling of the devices. LANCOM additionally offers private versions of the LANCOM Management Cloud, which are operated either by system vendors or even directly on customer premises. In these cases, the corresponding network configuration data are of course secured by the private data centers run by the systems vendor or by the end customer. The LANCOM Management Cloud is regularly audited internally and externally.

What does "software-defined networking" mean?

"Software-defined networking" does away with the former manual configuration of individual devices and replaces it with the automated orchestration of networks. The administrator uses an easy-to-operate, centralized interface to specify the framework conditions for the overall network design. The configuration and rollout of configuration changes are handled by a central management system – fully automatic and custom-designed for all of the network components (routers, gateways, switches, access points, and firewalls). This ensures that the capabilities of the network components are utilized to the full, particularly in the area of virtualization. Another aspect is the strict separation of management connections on the control plane from data connections on the data plane: While the data connections (e.g. VPN tunnels) are set up between the VPN gateways, the individual network components are connected directly to the LANCOM Management Cloud over independent management connections. What this means is: User data remain invisible to the LANCOM Management Cloud while the management and monitoring of network.
