In order to cope with cyberattacks of all kinds, critical communication networks need to benefit from maximum and enhanced service continuity and security. Stormshield is ready and waiting with a range of suitable products.

Continuity of service, come what may

Critical communication networks are defined by their need to keep functioning when things go wrong. Business continuity on these networks is of vital importance to the smooth running of government and society. Emergency services – for example, the fire brigade or the police – are among their main users. These services must be able to communicate, either internally or with one other, as part of a joint operation led by a local or national authority task force.

Planning ahead for greater security in critical infrastructures

To achieve this, companies must have communication networks that are secure at all times. But especially with the progressive migration towards more modern, complex and high-performance architectures using the IP protocol, these networks are facing multiple cyber-risks:

  • interception or tampering with critical communications;
  • emergency deployment of security equipment during rescue operations or other strategic intervention areas;
  • proliferation of sites and users spread over different geographical locations, such as communication relays and points.

How can you protect against multiple attacks with maximum security levels? At Stormshield, we design technological solutions that meet your needs – while complying with the many regulatory constraints specific to the critical communications sector (France’s Loi de programmation militaire, European NIS directive, etc.).

Depending on the specific situation, you need to be able to:

  • establish trusted encrypted communication channels (and thus ensure the authentication, confidentiality and integrity of messages) for sensitive operations;
  • obtain maximum network performance and availability for emergency communications;
  • deploy and manage security equipment across a large-scale network, for a large team of administrators;
  • provide products with certifications and statements of trust;
  • set up operational security equipment in a few minutes, e.g. at accident sites, without requiring experts to travel to the site;
  • provide live system support and security maintenance.

Tailored, complete and reliable Stormshield solutions
