The Secuscaler Functions
Combining software-defined WANs (SD-WANs) with built-in network security such as cloud-based Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS)—an emerging technology—or Secure Web Gateways, the firm protects mobile users, enterprise locations, and cloud resources. To start with, the SD-WAN lays the foundation for proficient, centralized protection from the cloud, as it builds a “sealed corporate network” across sites, developing the basis for centralized, comprehensive enterprise protection against external attacks. “In order to ensure optimal interaction between the network and security functionalities, it makes sense to also relocate the security stack to the cloud, so the use of a firewall-as-a-service makes for a valid option. And that is exactly what we provide our customers in the form of our Secuscaler solution,” says Dennis Monner, CEO, Secucloud.
With its innovative Secuscaler, the firm offers high-performance cloud-based IT security as a managed service to B2B customers that works on the enterprise level and enables full cross-selling to customers. There is no need for organizations to spend long hours to secure every single access point in a corporate network; the resellers and vendors acting as the managed security service provider (MSSP) handle the maintenance of the service and, thereby, are able to provide SMEs powerful security technologies that scale when needed and stay up-to-date without maintenance. As a result, companies not only receive powerful state-of-the-art protection but also take the pressure off their IT teams, saving a lot of time and money.
Moreover, with most platforms using HTTP/HTTPS to communicate, the Secuscaler Application Control uses deep packet inspection (DPI) to detect the applications connecting via HTTP/HTTPS with granular control.
In order to prevail in the cat-and-mouse game with malicious actors— who quite often are at the forefront of the technological status quo—security providers must display an equally high level of creativity and innovative spirit— and that’s exactly why we’ve chosen an entirely different approach to security
Besides, Secuscaler secures employees using Google, Box, Office 365, Dropbox, Salesforce, and numerous cloud applications by automatically protecting against malicious data or data leakage.
The Security Platform—ECS2
The Elastic Cloud Security System (ECS2) is an innovative IT security solution. It was developed systematically as a scalable cloud architecture to challenge the constant growth of data volume and the increasing number of IoT and mobile devices.
With ECS2, the firm merges a number of powerful enterprise-grade security mechanisms, which includes sandbox technologies, deep packet inspection as well as IDS and IPS systems. With these security methods, the firm analyzes incoming data streams, in the cloud and outside the customer’s systems. Hence, vendors and resellers can leverage a powerful, scalable solution that ensures security in real time for devices at various locations. Also, the firm’s offerings are directed at telcos, enabling them to implement the solutions directly in their infrastructure, thereby providing customers with high-performance security in the form of a subscription-based service. Since the solution offers boundless scalability, even huge client bases of 100 million clients or more can be secured at the same time. When activated by end users, Secucloud protects the whole data stream of devices connected to the internet, be it smartphones or IoT devices. “Thanks to international partnerships and group contracts with numerous well-known telcos, we already have a reach of nearly 1 billion subscribers worldwide,” adds Monner.
Distinction and Innovation
With the evolution of 4G and 5G, the ecosystem of connected devices will become more complex, leading to the need for simple, controlled, and flexible protection.
Currently, the firm is working on ways of harnessing artificial intelligence in the form of neural networks to classify network traffic. A neural network would be able to apprehend and identify the constantly changing and evolving destructive data streams on the Internet—not based on known attack patterns, but rather an understanding of the distinction between good and bad network traffic.
Culture and Achievements
Ever since its launch, Secucloud has strived to create a productive, modern work environment that values its team’s creativity, allowing all employees to evolve according to their personal goals. More than a dozen different nationalities work at Secucloud, thereby contributing to the firm’s attractiveness as an open and international employer.

Last year, Secucloud was nominated for the SC Awards in two categories: “Best Mobile Security Solution” and “Best UTM Security Solution” and this year, it is nominated for the prestigious SC Awards in the USA for “Best UTM Security Solution.” “We want to continue profiting from the additional momentum this year and push ahead with the managed security services business—both nationally and internationally. With many years of experience in the global cloud security business, we are the ideal solution provider and consulting partner for any resellers who want to provide their customers with a powerful protection technology adequate for today’s requirements,” concludes Monner.
