- The acquisition of Netgear’s exium is directed to SMEs with a powerful security all in one
- Traditional VPNs can disappear as Netgear pushes Sase to their next generation commercial offer
- Netgear hardware becomes smarter, grouping security directly in the routers for the out of the box
Netgear has entered the business cybersecurity market by acquiring Exium, a company specialized in secure cloud -based networks.
The company says that the measure is part of the long -term strategy of netgear to serve small and medium enterprises (SME) with simplified high performance connectivity solutions.
By integrating Exium’s technology into its portfolio, Netgear aims to go beyond traditional VPNs and offer a modern safe access service (Sase) that addresses network and safety needs.
Make business degree security manageable for small IT teams
With this step, the company believes that it can offer not only a solid commercial VPN alternative but also a comprehensive and easy to use platform.
The integration of the Exium platform will allow Netgear to develop a system all in one that combines wired and wireless networks with incorporated safety characteristics.
“The AI has changed the threat panorama for small and medium enterprises, as well as in the largest companies, but the solutions for SMEs are often too difficult to implement or need to be improvised on the network and administered separately,” said Premod Badjate, president and GM of Netgear for business.
“By offering the exium Sase solution with the aim of integrating it into our insight cloud management platform, we can bring to our customers a perfect solution of a single glass panel that is easily implemented and administered by small equipment of IT or MSP.”
The acquisition also prepares the stage to improve the hardware that admits advanced security functions from the first moment.
With the view of the view of becoming a main provider of VPN routers for commercial users, Netgear now aims to offer network devices that are safe by design.
The established experience of the company in wireless hardware, combined with the cybersecurity layer of exium, means that SMEs could soon benefit from routers and switches ready to use that offer performance and protection.
In the nucleus of the Exium platform there is a zero adjustment architecture, which aligns with Netgear’s plan to offer a leading access solution to the zero trustee networks network (ZTNA) for its client base.
“The exium was built from scratch as a cyber security solution to help protect small and medium enterprises that lack a comprehensive solution to combat cybersecurity threats,” said Farooq Khan, CEO of Exium.
“We share a similar vision with Netgear and we are excited to join the team to build a fully integrated network and security solution specially adapted to meet the needs of these customers.”
