Protect Your Critical Infrastructure with aconnic’s Cybersecurity by Design
In today’s digital-first world, Chief Information Security Officers and IT organizations face daily battles to secure complex infrastructures. As networks grow, so do the risks — from cyberattacks to regulatory compliance. In fact, 75% of CISOs believe their organizations are unprepared for emerging threats, while the average cost of a data breach reached $4.45 million in 2023.
aconnic’s Cybersecurity by Design approach provides real-time solutions that address the pressing concerns CISOs and other IT professionals encounter daily, safeguarding critical networks and securing business operations.
Navigating Today’s Cybersecurity Landscape
The Modern CISO’s Reality:
Evolving Threats and Increasing Pressure
Lack of Network Visibility
CISOs struggle with monitoring vast, interconnected networks. Blind spots create vulnerabilities, and even one undetected anomaly can open the door to attacks.
aconnic’s MetroIntegrator with Advanced Traffic Management offers full network visibility, ensuring quick detection of anomalies before they escalate. By analyzing real-time traffic, we reduce the time to detect and respond to threats, mitigating risks to critical operations.
Insider Threats and Access Control
A report by IBM highlights that 60% of cyberattacks involve insiders — either through negligence or malicious intent. Ensuring that only authorized personnel access sensitive systems is a top concern for CISOs.
With Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), aconnic ensures only the right people access sensitive systems. Multiple layers of authentication combined with tailored access rights ensure internal threats are minimized.
Patch Management & Vulnerability Exploits
It takes organizations an average of 207 days to detect a breach and another 70 days to contain it. Patch management is critical to stay protected against vulnerabilities, but manual processes often leave gaps.
aconnic’s Patch Management and Network Hardening capabilities automate updates and patching, ensuring your systems remain up to date without human error, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities being exploited.
Time-Sensitive Data and Synchronization in Critical Environments
Industries like finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure depend on precise, time-sensitive data transmission for seamless operations.
aconnic’s Synchronization Security (SyncE/PTP) protocols ensure accurate and reliable timing across the network, supporting real-time applications and preventing disruptions in service delivery. By maintaining precise synchronization, these protocols help reduce timing-related vulnerabilities, enabling continuous, secure, and stable network performance, essential for critical environments where downtime or data inconsistencies are not an option.
Network Complexity and Compliance
With NIS2 and other regulatory demands, CISOs are under increased pressure to ensure compliance while managing complex infrastructures. In a global study, 56% of organizations admitted they are not prepared to meet compliance requirements.
aconnic’s future-ready solutions are designed with scalability and compliance in mind, ensuring networks can evolve to meet regulatory requirements like NIS2 and ISO 27001. Our MetroIntegrator platform provides centralized network management, simplifying compliance by offering complete visibility, reporting, and control across all network layers.
