OneLayer

OneLayer is a cyber security platform dedicated to private cellular networks, that enables organizations to unleash their full potential. Private cellular has all the ingredients to be more secure, yet most of the existing security solutions such as firewalls, NAC, IDS/NDR and Asset Management tools, are not applicable in the new cellular environment. Hence, they are unable to secure the network itself, exposing it to lurking threats.

The multi-purpose promise of private networks, combining IT/OT use cases, endpoint mobility, roaming across networks and cloud edge services, further increases the attack surface. Accordingly, cybersecurity is considered to be the main adoption barrier by both customers and technology providers. 

OneLayer ensures that the best IoT security toolkit and approaches will be simply implemented in your private cellular environment. We extend and adopt existing security methodologies to this new type of network and provide full asset visibility, context-based segmentation, cellular anomalies detection & response and zero-trust device connectivity.

Organizations globally are tapping into the vast potential of the Operational IoT market, from transforming weather monitoring in remote mines to ensuring safe drinking water in African communities. The real game-changer is the integration of reliable, cost-effective satellite connections, predicted to rise to tens of millions by 2030. These connections make it possible to transmit data periodically rather than in real-time, reducing costs and meeting the specific needs of industries like agriculture, shipping, and environmental monitoring. The challenge for Systems Integrators (SIs) is to ensure their Satellite IoT deployments are not only technologically viable but also commercially successful. Ensuring robust satellite coverage, cost-effective deployment, and prolonged battery life are essential to this business case. Forward-thinking SIs have already started their journeys, optimizing Satellite IoT solutions, proving its business worth, and preparing for large-scale deployments.
