Telcos face increasing demands to provide both robust security and optimized performance for their business clients. To meet this challenge, Teridion have joined forces with Microsoft, introducing Teridion Secure Connect —a solution utilizing MS SSE Solution that empowers Telcos to deliver a fully integrated SASE offering while retaining owner economics. Telcos can deploy this solution to clients with just a single click, positioning them to meet the highest security and performance expectations. This solution is ideal for SMB organizations with a limited number of sites in the same geographic area. A significant portion of the Telco’s SMB customer base can benefit from this type of deployment.
Solving the Security-Performance Tradeoff for Telcos
Traditional network security models often force a choice between strong security and reliable performance. Teridion Secure Connect, however, eliminates this compromise. Teridion Secure Connect, powered by MS SSE Solution, eliminates the tradeoff between strong security and reliable performance that is common in traditional network security models. By integrating MS SSE Solution capabilities with Teridion’s innovative network optimization technology, Telcos can now provide a seamless experience where security meets optimized connectivity.
MS SSE Solution infrastructure, powered by Microsoft Azure Points of Presence (POPs) across global locations, ensures extensive security scanning for both public and private cloud applications. This advanced setup means that only clean traffic is routed to its final destination, ensuring the secure operation of customer networks.
Teridion brings a powerful overlay network with software routers spread across 25 cloud providers and hundreds of Points of Presence. This setup has already been trusted by global telecom leaders like Deutsche Telekom and Singtel. It delivers consistent, optimized throughput, reduced latency, and enhanced application performance—all at MPLS-grade reliability with cloud-level economic benefits.
Turnkey SASE Deployment for Telco SMB Clients
For Telcos, the deployment of Teridion Secure Connect is as simple as it gets. As the customer purchases the Security Add on, an online system activates Security in the Teridion Network. Right away, traffic is intelligently directed through Teridion’s optimized network to the nearest Microsoft SSE POP for real-time security scanning. This ensures that traffic arrives at its final destination clean and at peak performance.
Finally, a Microsoft Entra endpoint is created and connected with the right connectivity mechanisms to a Teridion POP.
