OPAQ, the SASE network company, and PacketFabric, the leading Network-as-a-Service platform, announced a partnership to provide customers on-demand, elastic Network-as-a-Service connectivity with a comprehensive suite of built-in security controls.

In addition to bandwidth problems, COVID-19-related remote work is straining security appliances used to inspect traffic entering and leaving corporate data centers, while devices used by employees are now under-protected, which opens the door to new security risks.

The OPAQ SASE platform provides PacketFabric users enterprise-grade Firewall-as-a-Service and Endpoint Protection-as-a-Service on a fully encrypted infrastructure that can be centrally managed through the OPAQ 360 cloud console for 100% network visibility and control.

Through the OPAQ SASE platform, customers can securely reach PacketFabric's ecosystem of cloud service providers, XaaS companies, unified communication services, and other collaboration partners to support the growing demand for remote work.

"OPAQ and PacketFabric enable organizations to easily and quickly establish elastic connections between their data centers, cloud service providers, branch offices and remote workers, that are protected with advanced threat inspection engines and eliminate inefficient routing of traffic to hub sites for centralized security enforcement," said Casey Corcoran, Chief Information Security Officer of OPAQ. "PacketFabric customers can instantly create a private connection to access the OPAQ SASE offering over PacketFabric's platform today. This allows customers to take advantage of the agility and performance offered by PacketFabric's network while using the OPAQ SASE platform to enforce security controls with ease."
