Securing your Network and Distributed Edge Locations
Organizations today face a significant challenge in securing their network and distributed locations. Typical infrastructure deployments often resemble a patchwork of disparate components, creating a varied landscape of hardware, operating systems, and applications. This diversity not only complicates management and support but also presents a massive attack surface for bad actors.
Scale Computing™ managed network services and edge computing platforms are designed from the ground up with a secure-by-design philosophy. Security is not an afterthought; it’s foundational. By simplifying the deployment model, reducing system variability, and eliminating the need for traditional remote access methods like VPNs or inbound firewall rules, we help organizations lock down their infrastructure from day one.
By tightly controlling the software supply chain, minimizing exposed interfaces, and enforcing default-secure configurations, we reduce the risk of misconfiguration and limit the attack vectors attackers can exploit across applications, infrastructure, and networking environments.
Simplicity drives security. With an integrated, fixed-purpose design, there's no need for complex multi-vendor setups, additional client applications, or lengthy configuration guides. The result is a more secure, easier-to-manage edge environment that delivers peace of mind without an added operational burden.
Reduce Configuration Vulnerabilities by being Secure-by-Default
Secure by Design
Our secure-by-design approach incorporates zero-trust principles and outbound-only connectivity to reduce exposure across distributed edge environments. By minimizing the need for open inbound network access and locking down unnecessary services, we reduce the attack surface by default. This architecture ensures security is built in—not bolted on—so edge infrastructure remains protected without added complexity.
Secure through Simplicity
Simplified infrastructure is more secure. By consolidating compute, storage, and networking into our solutions, we reduce the complexity that often leads to misconfigurations and security gaps. Built-in automation and streamlined management minimize manual tasks, enabling consistent deployments and secure operations across locations without requiring deep on-site technical expertise.
Secure by Default
Security shouldn’t be an afterthought. Our platforms are built to be secure from the start, minimizing the need for extensive post-deployment configuration or hardening. By eliminating common access points and enforcing secure defaults, the system reduces opportunities for misconfiguration and helps ensure a strong security posture right out of the box.
Don’t Overlook Simplicity: The Devil is in the Details
Reduce Attack Surface
Security is a critical consideration in selecting a platform, as it directly influences an organization's capability to protect its applications, data, and network security. Complexity not only increases the risk of potential security breaches but also elevates the likelihood of misconfigurations that could compromise the deployment's security.
By tightly controlling our software supply chain and locking down on-premises systems by eliminating additional client applications, network storage, and other common access protocols like SSH, and eliminating the need to open firewalls for remote access into your distributed locations, we also eliminate attack vectors. Simple and secure by default, this inherently increases the security of your applications, data, and infrastructure.
Security by Design
Scale Computing products are built with a secure-by-design and secure-by-default philosophy. Whether deploying infrastructure, applications, or networking services, our solutions reduce software vulnerabilities through fixed-purpose system design, limited access surfaces, and streamlined update processes.
This architectural simplicity ensures that secure deployments are achievable without extensive manual hardening or complex integrations. Security is inherent—not something you bolt on or configure later—so customers can confidently deploy solutions that are easier to manage and harder to compromise.
