Closip
Providing LTE-based Network Security Solution

Truth be told, no security framework is 100 percent safe. However, there are ways to beef up network security and get as close to that 100 percent as possible. It begins with understanding what these technologies are, and the advantages that come along with them.

The smartphone LTE security architecture is one such technology. It is generally considered more secure over Wi-Fi connections because it is designed with strong encryption techniques, and the mutual authentication between LTE network elements with security mechanisms is built right into its architecture.

closip, Japan’s leading provider of security network services, is focused on utilizing the elements of LTE security technology to provide the same level of network security to all devices connected to the internet.

“Our mission is to develop a security technology that is user-friendly and low cost while remaining strong and potent,” says Takehiro Ikeda, Ph.D., CEO of closip.

How does closip achieve this?

Utilizing its patented ‘LTE-over-IP’ technology, closip has created an easily deployable software solution, called softwareSIM or softSIM, that protects corporate IP networks, computers, and IoT devices from ever-evolving cyberattacks.

Built from the same LTE architecture that reliably secures billions of mobile phones around the world, closip’s softSIM provides enterprises with highly effective and proven cybersecurity measures to create a safe and secure space where no employees feel security threats amid rising remote or hybrid workplaces and the increasing use of IoT devices.

Whether these devices are used in the office or from a remote location, softSIM safeguards corporate devices, data, and apps, preventing well-organized cybercriminals from getting in.

Redefining Usability and Cost Efficiency

As working remotely has become the norm, VPNs might have stepped in the right direction to provide employees with a system for establishing a protected network connection, but it is not the be-all and end-all when it comes to remote enterprise security.

closip’s softSIM is easier to use and more secure than conventional VPNs. Once SoftSIM is set up, remote workers just have to switch on their devices and gain access to a secured, automated corporate LAN connection every time, as simple as it sounds.

The underlying SoftSIM software creates a robust, multi-layered, zero-trust environment that provides multiple layers of device-level security protections, something that conventional VPNs cannot offer.

The beauty of closip’s softSIM is that it removes the hard work of IT departments to deal with multiple hardware and software, lowering implementation and operational costs.

Guiding Clients to Success

softSIM’s unparalleled security capabilities have successfully wooed some of the biggest enterprises in Japan, including VAIO corporation, Japanese leading laptop PC vendor. In the case of VAIO, both the company and its leading market distribution partner benefitted as closip’s Official Certified PC before making the sale. Consumers enjoyed improved security and less risk of password leakage with an inbuilt solution, while VAIO and its distribution partner reduced IT costs because of reducing link-level security solutions and fewer security breach-related help desk support calls. In case of device theft, softSIM can remotely deactivate the device and secure owners’ device data from falling into the wrong hands.

This is but one of the success stories. All thanks to the dedication of its team led by telco and software industry veterans, closip has carved a niche in the market with its deep expertise in wireless networking security.
