The value add of SCION
Path control
You determine how your data is transferred and control it so that it does not leave a defined area (e.g. Switzerland) or only passes through certain autonomous systems (AS). You define this in the forwarding path and thus guarantee your communication compliance.
Security
All paths are authenticated and resistant to misconfigurations, outages and routing attacks. The packet security add-on allows you to identify, release and prioritize each data packet, preventing DDoS attacks with a bogus source address.
Multiple connection
SCION permits multiple connections through multipath communication in real time, ensuring that you are always connected to the Internet. This safeguards the performance and availability of your connections – if one connection fails, the traffic is automatically forwarded to a functioning connection.
Performance
Artificial intelligence (AI) makes the network more efficient. The data is routed over the most efficient path. In addition, paths that have been closed for security reasons, to prevent hacker attacks, are detected automatically.
Quality control
Keep everything under control. You can monitor data routing and information about packet loss, etc. in a single solution. With the clear dashboard display, problems can be identified immediately.
