Nottingham, United Kingdom: Nexor is excited to announce the launch of Nexor Protean, a Software Defined Gateway that has been developed using cloud native technologies, specifically to enable customers to securely use Cloud Platforms as part of High Assurance cross domain solutions.

Defence, Government and Law Enforcement organisations have all stated a Cloud first goal as part of their digital and data transformation strategies.  However, organisations often struggle to reconcile the wish to utilise the scalability and flexibility of Cloud, with the established requirement of hardware and appliance-based security solutions. 

Nexor Protean has been designed and developed from the ground up, utilising the Nexor Secure Information eXchange Architecture (SIXA®) and Cloud native technologies to provide a solution that leverages the scalability and flexibility of a Cloud based gateway, whilst following the National Cyber Security Centre principles to ensure it meets the security needs of our clients.

‘We have had great customer feedback on Nexor Protean and we’re excited to now be bringing it to market and working with our customers on deployments and new opportunities that a Cloud based gateway offers’ said Tim Thompson, Managing Director at Nexor.

‘We already partner with Nexor on our collaborative working solutions, utilising their existing range of solutions, but as our relationship grows, we are keen to leverage all the benefits that Nexor Protean can bring such as scalability for peak demand as well as its modular flexibility that enables us to meet the needs of many different user communities’ said Simon Rust, National Security CTO at Sopra Steria.
