Introduction
Download the entire whitepaper
The AirZen IT security concept offers comprehensive solutions for companies that want to provide secure and user-friendly WiFi for employees and guests. The security concept includes all important measures to maximize network security and ensure uninterrupted use. From hardware to software, AirZen relies on "Security by Design," which means that all system components are designed from the outset to meet the highest security standards. Here you will learn how AirZen ensures reliable networks.
The AirZen System: Structure and Architecture
The AirZen system is based on a modular architecture and offers solutions developed specifically for the needs of European companies. The AirZen platform consists of proprietary hardware and software, complemented by open-source elements and OEM modules. The system exclusively supports AirZen's own access points and routers, which can be centrally managed via the AirZen cloud.
Advantages of the modular architecture:
Flexibility: Individual components can be reconfigured or replaced as needed.
Security through control: A clearly regulated access ensures the protection of critical system areas.
Easy maintenance: The clear code and the possibility of separate management facilitate updates and maintenance work.
Security by Design: Security principles at AirZen
Security is the top priority at AirZen. The network configuration can only be read by routers, while changes are only possible via the configuration API. In addition, database accesses are strictly regulated by a role concept. This means that only authorized persons have access to specific system resources. The data is divided into categories and stored separately, so that a higher data load in one area does not affect the performance of other critical areas.
Data protection and access controls
Compliance with the GDPR and responsible handling of sensitive data are integral parts of the AirZen security concept. AirZen uses a multi-layered access control system that restricts access to important system components to specific roles such as administrators, support partners, and network users. Network users are authenticated and authorized using common identification information (e.g., MAC address).
Measures for physical and technical security
All central components of AirZen are located in secure data centers to which only authorized employees have access. Furthermore, AirZen routers and access points are regularly checked for tampering and automatically reset if any unauthorized changes are detected. There are special measures for managing and monitoring network endpoints and VPN gateways to control data traffic and prevent overload.
Automatic software update system
AirZen has implemented an automatic update system that looks for new software versions daily and automatically installs them as soon as they are available. This ensures that security vulnerabilities are closed promptly and new functions are made directly available. Critical security updates are installed within four hours of release to ensure maximum security.
Conclusion: Security and reliability for corporate networks
The AirZen IT security concept provides companies with a comprehensive and highly secure solution for managing and operating networks. With a well-designed architecture, automated updates, and strict access controls, AirZen offers its customers a network that is flexible, secure, and easy to manage. Thanks to integration into the AirZen cloud and high security standards, the system is ideal for companies seeking a reliable and GDPR-compliant solution for their network needs.
