Kytec Smart Shield

Kytec Smart Shield is a unified security architecture with deep network intelligence, enhanced visibility and rapid response.  At the core of Kytec Smart Shield is Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD), which is a next-generation firewall (NGFW) designed to provide advanced threat protection, intrusion prevention (IPS), application visibility, and secure remote access.

Unified Security Architecture – Integrates firewalling, IPS, and advanced malware protection in one platform.

Deep Network Intelligence – Leverages Cisco Talos, one of the world’s largest threat intelligence teams, to proactively identify and block threats.

Simplified Management – Centralised policy enforcement via Cisco Secure Firewall Management Centre ensures ease of administration.

Threats are evolving and becoming distributed, so security needs to extend beyond the firewall. 

An enhancement of Smart Shield, Kytec Smart Shield Plus extends security to the user by integrating Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE) into a unified framework.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) – Enforces least-privilege access, verifying every user and device before granting entry to applications.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) – Combines networking and security into a cloud-delivered service, ensuring consistent protection from HQ to remote sites.

Security Service Edge (SSE) – Delivers cloud-native security services, including Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and Zero Trust capabilities, ensuring secure access to applications.
