The internet, born in simpler times, was embraced by a mix of dreamers, educators, scholars, and tech enthusiasts seeking to democratize information sharing. Fast forward to 2024, and the internet’s landscape has shifted dramatically. What once connected private networks with familiar protocols now harbors threats from malicious actors seeking to exploit, extort, and steal sensitive data.
While encryption technologies like SSL and VPNs offer some protection, the underlying protocols of the internet remain vulnerable to exploitation. Enter Swiss academic Adrian Perrig and his SCION architecture, designed to secure and direct traffic independently from the broader internet. This innovative approach has been adopted by the Swiss banking system, ensuring reliable and secure data transmission.
Anapaya, the commercial arm of the SCION project, brings this technology to market, offering robust routing solutions for sensitive information exchange. CEO Martin Bosshardt emphasizes the importance of securing network infrastructure in today’s cyber landscape, where the network security market surpasses even cancer treatment expenditures.
For companies seeking heightened security, Anapaya’s SCION protocol provides granular control over routing and access permissions, offering a blend of closed network security and internet flexibility. This technology enhances existing infrastructure without the need for extensive hardware upgrades.
