Security
Does the cloud managed solution use robust security?
Zyxel Nebula uses TLS (Transport Layer Security, a replacement of SSL) between
network hardware and the cloud controller. Management data is transported and
encrypted with IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standards based NETCONF
(Network Conguration Protocol). Only management trafc and logs are transmitted
to Nebula Cloud Control Center. Data passes directly through the LAN and the WAN
without passing through the cloud controller. There are no controller bottlenecks.
Real Cloud
Is it a true cloud network management system without a premises-based controller or is
it a pseudo-cloud system that is half-and-half?
Zyxel Nebula is a true cloud network management system that brings with it all of the
cost saving benets of the cloud.
Compliance
Does the cloud managed networking solution comply with regulatory frameworks;
including the more recent European Union GDPR (General Data Protection
Regulation)?
Zyxel Nebula was compliant with GDPR six months before the deadline (May
2018). Additionally, Nebula is compliant with over 50 data protection and privacy
certications, laws, regulations and frameworks set out by regulatory bodies around
the world (listed in Appendix A).
Licensing
Do the cloud licensing options suit the needs of your organization? Will failure to pay
for the license halt all network management services?
Zyxel Nebula gives customers the freedom to choose between free and cost effective
paid subscription licenses with additional features. Some vendors only offer paid
subscriptions.
