Wireless That Just Works

Over 50% of cyber-attacks target SMBs. Enterprises see 100+ security breaches every year on average. The first step to securing your devices on your network is to know their vulnerabilities. As the saying goes – You can’t fix what you can’t see!

“The NSE solution is easy to use,” says Steve Cole, Managing Director, Central IT Solutions. “It took me seven minutes or so to get it running on my home network. It picks up everything.”

Now it is easy for you to understand vulnerabilities and prioritize actions. The system leverages generative AI to simplify complex vulnerability descriptions into easy-to-understand summaries. NSE 3000 is a reliable, high-performance SD-WAN router with built-in security. It automatically and continuously performs vulnerability assessments on all of your LAN devices.

NSE 3000 presents you with crisp, actionable data on vulnerabilities present on all of your devices. A built-in scanner continuously monitors your devices and alerts you as soon as it spots vulnerabilities. 

Time-to-Exploit has been decreasing through the years. Known vulnerabilities are being exploited faster than ever. A security research firm discovered that most vulnerabilities were exploited within one to two weeks of being made public. The NSE 3000 is inside your network and does vulnerability assessment runs 24×7. No more waiting for quarterly or half-yearly scans. 

There can be hundreds to thousands of known vulnerabilities on your network. To help you focus your remediation efforts, NSE 3000 ranks the vulnerabilities for you. The system compares vulnerabilities to threat model databases and exploited catalogues to prioritize defects that need immediate fixing.

This extensive network connects over one hundred video cameras strategically placed in natural areas across Ávila, Salamanca, Zamora, León, and Soria. The captured images are then analyzed using artificial intelligence on the SCAYLE supercomputer situated on the University of León’s campus, enabling the rapid identification of fire locations.

León, December 04 2023: Telecomunicaciones Merino, a company based in León, is spearheading the expansion of the high-speed communications network that supports the forest fire surveillance system of the Ministry of Environment, Housing, and Territorial Planning of Castilla and León. This network links over one hundred video cameras, deployed in forested regions of Ávila, Salamanca, Zamora, León, and Soria. The captured images are processed using software integrated into the SCAYLE infrastructure at the University of León, driven by an artificial intelligence system that provides tools for immediate fire location.

As part of this project, Telecomunicaciones Merino deployed a new high-speed wireless network utilizing Cambium Networks’ PTP 550E fixed wireless broadband technology and ancillary equipment provided by SISTELEC. This network will connect video surveillance cameras from Axis Communications, IP communications system, IoT devices, and other services. It will be linked to the SCAYLE infrastructure operated by the Junta de Castilla y León on the University of León’s campus. Artificial intelligence systems will analyze camera images to provide rapid alerts and, if necessary, facilitate a more efficient initial response for fire control.

Coverage Area

The cameras offer surveillance within a range of 8 to 25 kilometers, depending on the system’s specifications. They provide real-time visuals of fires and affected areas, allowing verification of alerts received in the Provincial Command Centers (CPM) and minimizing false alarms, which, in turn, reduces unnecessary resource deployment. Furthermore, the system decreases response times for firefighting units by quickly pinpointing fire sources throughout the year. It also enables monitoring of controlled burns within the area of influence.

National Heritage Foundation

The project receives funding from the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) under the Operational Program modification, OE 20.1.4 – OE REACT EU 4. This falls under the “Support for investments that contribute to the transition towards a green economy” action with recent weather events resulting in forest fires. The Natural Heritage Foundation, which operates under the Ministry of Environment, Housing, and Territorial Planning, leads this project, which involves updating and expanding the network initially deployed between 2006 and 2016 in Zamora, Soria, and León. The expansion now includes Ávila and Salamanca, along with an extension in Zamora. This Forest Fire Video Surveillance System is an integral part of the INFOCAL Operation managed by the Ministry.

Interconnected Network

The network also connects various monitoring equipment and technological devices within different fire coordination centers, including Provincial Command Centers (CPM), the regional command center (CAM), the 21 ELIF Bases (helicarrier brigades), and the 4 advanced command (PMA). This interconnectivity ensures that surveillance teams can perform their duties efficiently during off-duty periods.

In summary, the new equipment deployed across the five provinces includes:

  • 80 high-capacity PTP 550E point-to-point IP links
  • 50 high-performance 360º IP cameras
  • 25 photovoltaic power systems
  • 18 lattice towers

Every day, more than 30,000 Websites are hacked and over 300,000 pieces of malware are created. Traffic control is one method to protect your website. Web blocking is the general term encompassing various techniques that are used to restrict access to specific websites or applications.

DNS filtering is a particular technique of enforcing web blocking. The DNS resolves user-friendly domain names to IP addresses. The DNS filter works by blocking DNS requests that are restricted for access. If a browsing device such as a phone or laptop cannot resolve the domain name, it won’t be able to access that website or app. This method is superior compared to techniques that require SSL inspection. SSL inspection requires a cumbersome management of root certificates on all user devices. Plus, SSL inspection slows down user traffic.

DNS filtering has use cases across customer segments. Universities and schools use this capability to shield students from harmful and inappropriate content. Businesses utilize this to restrict access to adult content, unauthorized VPN services, and streaming. Everyone benefits from blocking access to known malware and ransomware sites. 

Accuracy and speed are of utmost importance when it comes to DNS filtering. When DNS response times are slow, it makes browsing slow and frustrating for users. Slow DNS responses are the number one reason customers hesitate to enable this feature.

Accuracy is as critical as speed with DNS filtering. The DNS categorization database needs to be kept very current. It is estimated that more than 200,000 websites go online every single day.

Cambium Networks’ NSE 3000 is designed to provide very fast and accurate DNS filtering. The NSE 3000 stores caches on the device and at data centres worldwide. This enables the system to maintain very fast response times for DNS queries.

For accuracy of DNS categorization, Cambium has partnered with the industry leading DNS categorization service. The database is the broadest, most up-to-date and accurate.

Setting up DNS filtering on the NSE 3000 is simple. NSE 3000 offers 6 broad categories and over 80+ subcategories to block access. The administrator can create specific policies for different sets of users. The NSE 3000 also provides safe search options with prebuilt mappings. It can be enabled for specific user groups with a single click. Schools looking to comply with the CIPA act can do so with a couple of clicks. See how easy it is in this video on NSE filtering.

If you are planning a network for a school, enterprise, co-working space or even homes, the NSE 3000 with its DNS filtering feature is the best choice. Find out how to accelerate troubleshooting and security in this webinar replay.
