Lumen Network-as-a-Service Solution Now
Includes Private Ethernet and IP-VPN
DENVER, Jan. 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Private cloud connections,
data protection, and enhanced security. Lumen customers are
requesting these features as their need to move substantial amounts
of sensitive data and secure distributed business locations becomes
more critical. Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) is meeting that
need with two new Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solutions with
private connections: Lumen® Ethernet On-Demand and Lumen® IP-VPN
(Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network) On-Demand.
Why Private Connections Matter
Lumen launched
NaaS and Lumen® Internet On-Demand in 2023 to help businesses
easily buy, use, and manage networking services. Businesses that
manage sensitive or confidential data, such as financial
transactions and health records, or those with legal and regulatory
requirements, are also seeking a private and secure option for
their cloud connections.
"Many businesses face a dilemma between security and innovation.
They need to protect their data with robust and flexible network
solutions, but they also want to leverage the cloud and AI for
productivity and growth," said Miriana
Martinova, Lumen SVP of Product Management. "Lumen NaaS
Private Connections resolves this challenge by offering both
performance and enhanced security over their network connections.
Financial and healthcare companies can protect their data from
breaches, cyberattacks, or unauthorized access across any cloud
environment, with confidence in Lumen's secure, resilient, and
global network."
The Customer Benefits
Private Ethernet and IP-VPN
Network-as-a-Service connections offer several benefits to
customers.
- Enhanced Security: Avoid the public internet by putting
encrypted data on a private connection to each remote site.
- Data Protection Regulations: Comply with strict data
protection laws and regulations with a higher level of security and
control over data handling practices.
- Cost Efficiency: Access cloud resources on demand,
without spending money on costly hardware, upkeep, or excess
capacity.
- Scalability: Adjust bandwidth to increase and decrease
speeds and turn them off when not needed.
- Reliable Connections: Securely connect multiple business
locations within a network, such as branch offices, data centers
and headquarters. Choose the best cloud service providers for
business needs, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft
Azure.
Increased Protection with DDoS
To further enhance a
secure on-demand experience, Lumen will soon add DDoS (distributed
denial-of-service) protection to its Lumen Internet On-Demand
solution, the first service on Lumen's NaaS platform. DDoS service
is an easy and affordable way to defend networks against
common attacks, no matter the size. It uses
near real-time threat intelligence from Lumen's
Black Lotus Labs.
