Taipei City, Taiwan, R.O.C. – June 26th, 2018 – With the rise of the digital lifestyle – the rapid evolution toward all electronic communication and commerce – we are seeing a comparable rise of security threats that take advantage of the ubiquitous connectivity being offered. These security threats are not contained to individuals but rather these threats also exist for small businesses, large enterprises, and even government entities. The threats posed by these security breaches include data loss, financial losses and compromised secrets, which may have far-reaching impacts from business competitiveness to national security.

One example of the importance of cybersecurity is the recent actions of the government of Taiwan. In June of 2017, President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan instituted the Information Communication Electronic Force Command (ICEF) and declared that “cybersecurity is national security.” Today, the primary cybersecurity threat to Taiwan is from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), which can originate from a multitude of sources including state actors, in order to conduct cyber espionage on Taiwanese government agencies and critical corporate infrastructure targets. In a recent cybersecurity survey, Taiwan ranked second in Asia in terms of the quantity of unique APT malicious software attacks.

In response to the call for action from the Taiwan government, acrosser Technology and ADVA have teamed up with other local vendors to provide a virtualized security solution based on Acrosser’s industry-leading network appliances and ADVA’s industry-leading NFV-based secure access solutions. As part of this solution, Acrosser Technology and ADVA have verified interoperability between the Acrosser ANR-C236N1 networking appliance and ADVA’s Ensemble Connector network operating system. Acrosser has also joined the ADVA Ensemble Harmony ecosystem as a hardware partner (please see  https://www.advaoptical.com/en/about-us/partners/ensemble-harmony-ecosystem for more information on ADVA’s Ensemble Harmony Ecosystem).

A key benefit of the virtualized Network security solution is that by leveraging a universal CPE (uCPE) deployment model, users have the ability to apply security and encryption solutions in a modular, cloud-native fashion, which supports multiple deployment models including point-to-point, hub and spoke, as well as secure hybrid cloud access. With ADVA’s secure access solutions, users can dynamically enable encryption at layers 2, 3 or 4 depending on requirements of the application. ADVA’s solution provides an efficient encryption solution that minimizes the required processing and network overhead.

As part of this partnership, Acrosser and ADVA jointly performed live demonstrations of the solution to Taiwan government and military officials in an event held in Hsinchu, Taiwan in November of 2017. The demonstration was well received by the government and military members in attendance. Acrosser is convinced that its high-quality networking appliance combined with ADVA’s industry-leading network virtualization software offers a unique NFV-based information security solution to support the information security requirements defined by the Taiwan government.

In addition to the application of information security, the NFV based solution is also possible to perform SD-WAN, CCTV surveillance, WAN acceleration, WAN optimization… vary virtual network functions in this agile & scalable platform. Acrosser networking server & Ensemble ensure the networking architecture to meet the demand of growing business of customer in a smooth way.
