IP VPN Security:
Traditional Internet based IPSec VPNs use encryption and tunneling technology to protect data traveling across the Internet. This type of VPN can be relatively easy and economical to implement on a small scale but can become more complex and less reliable as a business grows.
Zen IP VPN provides complete security for data in transit and uses revolutionary IP and MPLS technology to isolate packets on the network. It allows confidential traffic to pass between customer sites without traversing the public Internet. This level of privacy is comparable to traditional secure Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructures such as Frame Relay and ATM.
A Zen IP VPN will provide your business with a future proof WAN solution and boasts a number of benefits over traditional IPSec VPNs including:
- Security
- Traffic does not traverse the public Internet
- Reliability
- WAN built on carrier grade MPLS core routers with built in resilience
- Management
- No complex IPSec tunnels to configure and manage
- Performance
- Data transmitted in its raw form enabling fast packet delivery

IP VPN Internet Security:
One central point of Internet breakout from the IP VPN enables strict security policies to be implemented and controlled, offering one secure path to the public Internet. A Zen Managed Fortigate Unified Threat Management (UTM) Firewall can be hosted in our state of the art colocation suite and can be configured to provide complete Internet security for all sites participating in the IP VPN.
Zen Managed Fortigate UTM firewalls offer protection against a range of threats and include the following features:
- Firewall
- Defends against intrusions
- Anti-Virus
- Protection against Internet and email viruses
- Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS)
- Protection against malicious attacks
- Anti-Spam
- Reduces unwanted email
- Web Filtering
- Eliminates unproductive browsing
- VPN
- Delivers secure remote access
Relatively low cost routers with simple feature sets can be implemented at each of your sites as all Internet access is centrally controlled by the Fortigate, and there is no requirement for LAN to LAN VPN. This represents a significant cost saving and removes the need for staff to configure, manage and troubleshoot IPSec VPN tunnels.
