As the number of connected devices grows, so does the vulnerability of our digital infrastructure. Traditional security measures need help to keep up with the increasingly sophisticated threats targeting critical networks in sectors like utilities and finance. To address these challenges, there is a pressing need for a new approach to Internet security that can create secure, isolated environments within the existing Internet infrastructure.
SCION offers a groundbreaking solution by upgrading the traditional border gateway protocol router, enabling the creation of isolation domains. These isolated networks enhance security by preventing unauthorised access and minimising potential points of failure. As more infrastructure providers adopt SCION, its possible applications in critical sectors promise everyone a safer, more resilient internet.
In this episode, Richard Stiennon, Senior Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, speaks to Martin Bosshardt, CEO of Anapaya, about cyber breaches and solutions like SCION.
Key Takeaways:
- The increasing number of connected devices and IoT is driving a rise in cyber breaches, making defence more challenging.
- SCION offers a new approach to internet security by creating isolation domains within the existing internet infrastructure.
- SCION allows for the secure and isolated operation of critical applications in sectors like utilities and finance.
- The adoption of SCION by infrastructure providers and organisations holds the potential to significantly enhance internet security. By creating secure, isolated environments within the existing Internet infrastructure, SCION can effectively protect against nation-state attackers and other threats, making the internet a safer place for all.
