Data management and security
Cirion presents SASE: always-protected network services
Solution offers architecture combining integral SD-WAN features with the latest advances in cloud security simplifying operations, increasing productivity, and providing greater visibility of security landscape.
MIAMI, FL, November 7, 2023 One of the main challenges for CISOs and executives responsible for organizations security is to ensure secure network services from any location where users can connect. This is a growing need as companies increasingly adopt SD-WAN to optimize their network performance and new threats emerge beyond the established security perimeter.
With this in mind, Cirion presents its SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution, which combines the security and connectivity of WAN, LAN, and Cloud networks and remote access, in a single solution. It provides a secure and scalable infrastructure for accessing cloud applications and services, allowing organizations to efficiently secure and optimize network traffic.
Among other benefits, Cirion SASE delivers performance and scalability to optimize critical applications. With Secure SD-WAN as an integral part of the solution, it adds on the benefits of zero-trust remote access (ZTNA) to offer granular access policies tailored to the user, device, location, and role. It also adds LAN protection and management, both wired and wireless. Additional strengths include flexibility and visibility; connectivity and security can be managed from a single management platform, increasing productivity and providing a better overview of the networks design.
In a staggering context where cyber threats become increasingly complex and are multiplied in volume almost daily this tool is essential to stay ahead of the game: continuous updates are provided automatically and controlled centrally.
The components on which SASE is built upon
Cirion SASE integrates various networking, data management, and security products so that companies can continue to lead in a dynamic and competitive world while minimizing their risks. Its components include:
- Secure SD-WAN. The foundation on which Cirion SASE is built upon — network management for a hyper-distributed era in which remote work, edge, and ubiquitous access are imperatives. It provides link optimization, intelligent routing, traffic control, VPN capabilities, and application control.
- Managed Secure SD-LAN and NAC. Comprehensive solution that offers secure LAN and WiFi network access from multiple devices. It provides visibility, control, and analysis of devices, minimizing the attack surface.
- Cloud Security. Comprehensive protection of cloud environments, as if in-premises.
- Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Centered on “zero trust” so users can access their applications in a seamless and secure manner, it also considers the location of their devices.
The acceleration of digital transformation, the cloud, and the edge took devices, data, and applications far beyond the perimeter of the organization, implying new risks and threats that require the adoption of new strategies, noted Alejandro Girardotti, Senior Director of Product, Innovation and Strategic Partnerships at Cirion. With SASE, our aim is to integrate security and connectivity in a single solution, to minimize the surface of attacks and offer end-to-end protection.

Cirion deploys new multicloud environments in Mexico and Chile
Through Cloud Connect, Cirion promotes secure and efficient connectivity with leading cloud service providers
MIAMI, FL. September 28, 2023 Cirion Technologies, a leading digital infrastructure and technology provider, announces new multicloud connections in Querétaro (México) and Santiago (Chile), two key markets in Latin America which show a growing demand for cloud services.
The initiative aims to provide companies in the region with even faster and more reliable access to the benefits of the cloud, while ensuring secure and efficient connections. These two new multi-cloud environments with AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Oracle join the existing one in São Paulo, as well as connections in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) to Microsoft, Buenos Aires (Argentina) to AWS, and Santiago (Chile) to Oracle.
The adoption of multi-cloud strategies has become a critical need for organizations seeking flexibility, resiliency, and performance in their cloud operations. Alejandro Girardotti, Senior Director of Product, Innovation, and Strategic Alliances at Cirion Technologies, said: Multicloud environments give companies the ability to use different providers without having to rely on a single one, optimize costs by selecting specific services from each provider, and become more resilient by distributing workloads across multiple clouds. With the deployment of new multicloud environments, Cirion is positioned as the ideal strategic partner for companies that want to maximize the potential of the cloud securely and efficiently.
In turn, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are strongly increasing their presence in Latin America. They are looking to expand their infrastructure, offer local services, establish strategic partnerships, and provide technical support and training to drive cloud adoption in the region. In this context, Girardotti mentioned: It is part of Cirions strategy, and we find it critical, to continue establishing connections with every CSP in most of the countries where we are present, especially in those where our Data Centers are predominant“.
Cirion’s Cloud Connect service is an integral solution that effectively addresses connectivity between local networks and cloud services. It offers numerous benefits, including focus on security, optimized performance, lower latency, and simple scalability.
