Network Hardening with Byos
Rethinking Jump Box Security
Jump Box systems have long been a cornerstone of secure connectivity in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. However, their centralized nature and inherent vulnerabilities, such as increasing unpatchable System-on-Chip firmware flaws, have made them a prime target for cyberattacks.
The Challenges with Traditional Jump Boxes
Single Point of Failure
If a Jump Box is compromised, the connected resources are vulnerable to lateral movement and unauthorized access.
Unpatchable Firmware Vulnerabilities
Many Jump Boxes run on legacy hardware with unfixable vulnerabilities, creating persistent risks.
Complex and Inefficient Incident Response
Traditional systems require downtime or manual intervention during incidents, slowing recovery and increasing disruption.
Introducing Byos for Network Hardening with Microsegmentation
Through the Byos’ Secure Edge™ hardware-enforced microsegmentation, organizations can replace outdated Jump Boxes to more effectively protect against lateral movement, ransomware, and firmware exploits. Byos’ innovative microsegmentation approach simplifies remote access, reduces attack surfaces, and ensures uninterrupted operations across distributed networks.
Compartmentalization of access to resources
Ensuring sensitive resources can be isolated is key to reducing resource misuse and unauthorized access. With Byos, administrators can establish networking “Zones” which are OSI Layer 2-enforced networking boundaries.
Real-Time Policy Enforcement
Through the Byos Management Console, administrators can provision and enforce security policies for one or thousands of devices with ease.
Multi-Layered OSI Protection
Byos protects across OSI layers 1-5, covering physical, network, transport, and session-level vulnerabilities for truly comprehensive security.
Key Benefits
Increased Operational Resilience
Byos prevents disruptions, that increasingly affect Jump boxes, caused by hardware failures, firmware vulnerabilities, or cyberattacks, keeping your operations running smoothly.
Remote Data Collection within air-gapped networks
Classified resources can be safely connected. Every asset is made accessible through the Byos Secure Lobby™ SDN Overlay so accessing resources over an untrusted network is as secure and easy as ever.
Reduced Attack Surfaces
By isolating devices, Byos minimizes the number of entry points for attackers, ensuring better overall network security.
How It Works
Byos provides a modern alternative to traditional Jump Boxes with its hardware-enforced Secure Edge™ microsegmentation technology and Secure Lobby™ SDN Overlay Network. This approach isolates assets behind the Byos Secure Gateway Edge™, creating secure, software-defined boundaries that protect critical resources from unauthorized access.
-
Microsegmentation for Compartmentalized Access
Each asset is isolated in its own microsegment, ensuring that breaches cannot spread laterally.
-
Controlled Software-Defined Airgaps
Enforce virtual “airgaps,” enabling immediate incident response lockdowns without losing visibility or cutting connectivity.
-
Seamless Remote Access
Enable secure, policy-driven access to protected resources from anywhere, without exposure to the public internet.
Replacing Jump Boxes with Byos
Byos Secure Gateway Edge™
is a plug-and-play gateway that replaces the Jump Box, isolating the assets behind it onto its own microsegment within the network, protecting across OSI layer 1-5. The Gateway Edge is the first hop for all assets downstream, meaning they are effectively invisible.
Management Console™
is a centralized control plane that enables centralized management and helps administrators to set access controls, monitor devices, and enforce real-time policies across the network. It can be deployed as either Cloud-based or on-premise.
Secure Lobby™
establishes a private, encrypted SDN overlay for secure remote access and protected communication without exposing assets to the internet.
