Robust Communication: IP Network

The growing threats in the world have increased the need for monitoring and surveillance, utilising fast and intelligent data processing resources as well as robust and secure communication infrastructure. AFRY helps clients develop secure and robust solutions for IP networks.

In the context of ​​IP networks, robust communication is about always being connected and reachable. One consequence of this is the continuous exposure to threats and intrusion.

Today's technical solutions must meet tomorrow's challenges where more and more areas become digital and connected. This development is driven by the requirement to always be able to access information no matter where you are. It must be possible to do this quickly, reliably and securely.

Cloud solutions are today a vital part of this, but at the same time it involves challenges when it comes to storing sensitive data. Edge Cloud with microdata center can therefore be an important part of an overall cloud solution. This together with micro-segmentation to limit the possibility of unauthorised access within the own data infrastructure.

From a life cycle perspective, a well-defined and implemented security policy is needed that is continuously maintained and updated.

The environmental and sustainability perspective needs to be taken into account when developing the a future robust communication infrastructure, ultimately to contribute to the UN's global environmental and sustainability goals. At the same time, this means great value-creating opportunities for companies and organisations.
