Secure Networking

Flexibility, visibility and control for your network.

Maintaining the security of your network is not only vital for safeguarding sensitive information but also guaranteeing that communication between devices is shielded from unauthorised entry.

Secure networking serves as the foundation for upholding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, which is essential both for individuals and for businesses. Through secure networking, organisations can reinforce their systems against cyber threats like hacking, phishing, and other forms of malicious activities. It also facilitates the safe transfer of data across networks, ensuring that only approved personnel can access crucial information. By implementing robust security measures in networking, not only are data breaches averted, but the trust of customers and partners is also upheld – a critical factor in the success and reputation of any business.

The recipe for a secure network

At Intelys, we use the SASE principals to look at network security holistically. By combining the components of networking with the fast paced and ever-changing world of security, we elevate and adapt our customers' networks to become more robust and agile.

SASE or Secure Service Edge is an architecture embracing this convergence of networking and security.

Your network is working harder than ever before


  • Explosive growth in real-time applications
  • Distributed workforces
  • The exponential growth of cloud computing
Can your infrastructure keep up?
Quite simply, WANs are outdated. Without a reliable network infrastructure, your company’s productivity is at risk .That’s where SD-WAN comes in.

Against this backdrop, it’s easy to see why many organisations are turning to intelligent wide area networks and cloud access networks (like Microsoft virtual WAN), relying on the intelligence and automation that these networks deliver to ensure the continued availability of their applications.
SD-WAN is crucial to developing intelligent networks
Think of it as the next generation of WAN solutions, accelerating application services while promising fully integrated security to ensure your enterprise the ultimate user experience. We achieve this by leveraging the industry’s leading global SD-WAN platforms, so that your WAN is transformed by optimising MPLS, Internet or a hybrid WAN network.
We construct the network around your business’ needs
The network construct is driven by you and your business’ specific requirements around performance and reliability. Our SD-WAN Service Portfolio is transport-independent and can be delivered using a blend of multiple access technologies, including Ethernet, Internet, broadband, fixed wireless and 4G/LTE to create an aggregated networking solution that is best suited to your business. Alternatively, leverage your own network connectivity and simply utilise our managed SD-WAN services to manage the overlay, giving you flexibility as well as complete visibility and control of the network.
Our partnerships mean you get the best service, always
Our partnerships with ISPs and network providers across Africa ensure that we are able to deliver the very best combination of speed, resilience and performance at the best available price to each of your branch sites.

The evolution to SD-Branch


The enormous expansion of network edges which organisations must secure, is causing many to struggle. Implementing adequate security across distributed enterprises, including new branch locations introduces complexity, specifically in the management of these edges. This complexity often involves intricate and overlapping point products and appliances. As a result, organisations adopting SD-WAN are finding they need a vendor that can tightly integrate SD-WAN security and management functionality into their branch networks, extending the security right into the LAN /Switch.

SD-Branch, or Software-Defined Branch, offers several key benefits for organisations, especially those with multiple branch locations:


  • Operational Agility: It allows for rapid deployment and provisioning of network services, making it easier to set up new branch locations.
  • Centralised Management: All branch network and security functions can be managed from a single console, reducing the need for on-site IT personnel.
  • Cost Efficiency: By consolidating multiple networking functions into a single platform, SD-Branch reduces hardware costs and lowers power consumption.
  • Enhanced Security: It integrates security features like Zero Trust and SASE frameworks, providing robust protection across the network.
  • Simplified Operations: With features like zero-touch provisioning and dynamic segmentation, it simplifies the deployment and management of branch networks.
  • Improved User Experience: It optimises network performance, ensuring a consistent and high-quality experience for users, regardless of their location.
