Syniverse Launches Global Private Network Dedicated to Securing IoT

Syniverse announced the launch of Syniverse Secure Global Access, a private, secure, global network that provides the foundation for businesses to reliably safeguard mission-critical data in the age of digital transformation.

At the time of launch, more than five multinational businesses are already using Syniverse Secure Global Access to securely connect to the evolving mobile ecosystem and to safeguard vital business transactions like those needed to support the Internet of things (IoT).

“While the public Internet has become the platform for countless billions of sensitive business exchanges and transactions every day, almost 40 percent of all industrial control systems and critical infrastructure faced a cyberattack in the second half of 2017, according to BluVector,” said Dean Douglas, president and CEO, Syniverse.

“The reality is that the internet was not designed to be a secure environment, with malware and ransomware, data thefts and breaches, and hacks and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks representing just some of the serious rising threats that undermine the public Internet backbone.”

By directly connecting the enterprise to the Syniverse network, the Syniverse Secure Global Access provides privacy and security that are not available through the public internet. Moreover, it provides those businesses with secure connectivity to mobile operators across nearly 200 countries and territories.
