NETGEAR Launches Exium Security Platform for SMEs

NETGEAR Inc. has launched Exium, an all-in-one SASE and hybrid firewall solution intended specifically for SMEs and the MSPs that support them. The enterprise-grade security and network offering is designed to provide SMEs with a unified solution that combines advanced threat protection, AI-powered zero-trust network access (ZTNA), secure web gateway (SWG), SD-WAN and firewall capabilities.

The platform is intended to help SMEs replace certain outdated, fragmented security systems with a modern, cloud-managed solution. All features are designed to be managed through a centralized, intuitive interface, helping businesses protect data, users and devices across multiple sites and remote locations, the company said.

“Small and medium businesses are just as exposed to cyberthreats as larger enterprises, if not more, but most security solutions are either too complicated or piecemeal for them to handle,” said Farooq Khan, VP of software security at NETGEAR. “By integrating Exium with our networking solutions, we’re offering SMEs easy-to-use, enterprise-grade protection. This helps empower them to counter modern threats confidently, lessening the burden on internal IT teams.”

Optimized for MSPs, the Exium platform offers multi-tenant management and streamlined service delivery, officials said.
