Preparing your IT for the unexpected: A guide to digital resilience
Building a robust digital resilience strategy
Whether it’s a forward-operating military unit, an offshore platform, or a distributed enterprise team, Connect delivers resilient, zero-trust communication where traditional solutions fall short. Explore how Connect meets the unique demands of each sector we serve.
In battlefield conditions, communication must be secure, resilient, and immediate. Connect ensures mission-critical data moves reliably, even over degraded networks, with zero-trust architecture and post-quantum security built in.
For example, a deployed military unit operating in a contested region can use Connect to securely transmit encrypted drone footage and operational updates via a low-bandwidth satellite uplink. This ensures headquarters maintains real-time situational awareness, enhancing operational effectiveness and decision-making.
Ships and offshore platforms often rely on limited, high-latency links. Connect delivers secure, efficient communication over satellite and marine networks, protecting sensitive operations without adding complexity.
For instance, a deep-sea research organisation employs Connect to maintain secure telemetry and video communication links between its vessels and engineers in mainland headquarters, even while operating on unstable satellite bandwidth in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
In crisis situations, rapid and secure communication is essential. Connect provides lightweight, high-assurance connectivity ideal for air ambulances, disaster response teams, and other emergency services, enabling real-time video, telemetry, and coordination.
For example, a regional ambulance service integrated Connect to facilitate secure in-flight video communication and diagnostic data transfer between airborne paramedics and trauma consultants on the ground, significantly enhancing decision-making during patient transfer.
Aerospace operations demand trusted and bandwidth-optimised connectivity due to narrow communication windows and vast distances. Connect ensures data integrity and resilience, providing secure communication from orbit to ground control even under challenging conditions.
Connect enables secure data flow across constrained environments, from remote infrastructure to low-power devices. Its ultra-lightweight design is optimised for hard-to-reach or intermittently connected endpoints, ensuring reliability without significant overhead.
For example, a national utility organisation uses Connect across remote monitoring stations on rural pipelines, securely uploading post-quantum encrypted telemetry data over intermittent mobile coverage, reducing the need for onsite engineer visits.
For modern teams accessing cloud applications remotely, Connect 365 offers zero-trust secure access to Microsoft 365 and other cloud services, eliminating the need for VPNs, open ports, or unnecessary risks.
For example, a regulated financial services firm uses Connect 365 to securely enable its hybrid team to access Microsoft 365 from home, with seamless integration into the firm’s existing identity provider and without relying on VPN connections, dramatically improving its security posture while also increasing user productivity.
