about
Security at the
Speed of the Cloud
Our Mission
The requirements of security are changing again.
Decades ago, organizations moved from mainframes to servers. In the process, a model of security emerged that relied on well-architected networks, firewalls, DMZs, and a variety of system-level and application-level security controls. Today, organizations are moving on again. Across every industry, organizations are now taking a “cloud-first” approach to drive greater business agility and competitive business advantage. But as they make the move, the number one challenge is how to achieve these benefits whilst maintaining resilience and security.
Because it is dynamic, invisible, and aligns to cloud agility requirements, only Valtix delivers multi-cloud network security at the speed of the cloud.
