Cradlepoint launches 5G-ready SASE solution

Cradlepoint has announced the launch of a new Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution designed for agile enterprises.

The Cradlepoint NetCloud SASE has been designed to support 5G enterprise wireless software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) networks.

The cloud-delivered NetCloud SASE solution is designed to enable IT teams to provision zero-trust networks in as few as six minutes. It comes complete with a range of zero trust security capabilities, including being set up to deny all traffic that hasn’t been whitelisted.

Security capabilities also include remote browser isolation to air gap users from malicious web activity, as well as isolation-based security for air gapping corporate applications from unmanaged devices. In addition, the solution obscures all IP addresses and blocks east-west traffic to minimise customers’ attack surfaces.

The platform is now available in early access, and is expected to be launched into general availability later in Q2.

Cradlepoint Head of Enterprise Networking and Cybersecurity Products Pankaj Malhotra said the solution builds on the extensive experience Cradlepoint and parent company Ericsson have in simplifying cellular networking for enterprises operating in the most challenging environments.

“We are now enhancing the simplicity of enterprise-class network security for even the leanest IT organisations by introducing a SASE solution that integrates cellular, SD-WAN and security in a unified platform,” he said.
