Overview
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
Secure, flexible remote access.
In the era of remote work and hybrid cloud environments, traditional VPNs can no longer meet the evolving demands for secure, flexible access. Our Cloud VPN Managed Service offers a dynamic, cloud-native solution, enabling seamless and secure connections to your organisation’s network from anywhere, on any device.
Key Benefits
Rapid Scalability
Quickly scale VPN capacity up or down to support business continuity, adapting effortlessly to changing workforce needs.
Enhanced Security

Use Cases
Government & Public Sector
Use Case
Managed SASE for Secure Public Access
Situation
A government department needed to extend secure remote access for staff and contractors working across multiple agencies.
Challenge
Decentralised access policies and inconsistent endpoint security exposed users and data to cyber risk.
Solution
NEC delivered a Managed Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution providing unified policy control, secure web gateway, and Zero Trust access—all managed 24/7 by NEC’s security operations team.
Outcome
Consistent protection for every user and device, simplified management, and improved visibility across the government network.
Education
Use Case
Reliable Connectivity and Device Management for Schools
Situation
A regional education provider needed stable Wi-Fi and secure network infrastructure across multiple campuses.
Challenge
Frequent dropouts and unmanaged devices created inconsistent connectivity and potential security gaps.
Solution
NEC provided Managed Wi-Fi and Security Device Management, combining wireless network monitoring with proactive firmware updates, policy enforcement, and remote troubleshooting.
Outcome
Seamless campus connectivity, improved device performance, and reduced IT workload.
Healthcare
Use Case
Proactive Security Monitoring for Critical Systems
Situation
A large healthcare network needed round-the-clock monitoring to protect patient data and clinical systems from escalating cyber threats.
Challenge
Limited internal resources meant potential incidents weren’t being detected or contained quickly enough.
Solution
NEC implemented a Managed SIEM + XDR Service, correlating network and endpoint data to detect anomalies, isolate threats, and accelerate incident response.
Outcome
Enhanced visibility, faster detection, and continuous protection of sensitive healthcare information.
Utilities
Use Case
Enhancing Operational Security with Managed SASE
Situation
A major utilities provider needed to secure access and data traffic between control centres, substations, and remote field devices.
Challenge
Legacy network segmentation and inconsistent security controls exposed operational systems to potential intrusion and downtime.
Solution
NEC implemented a Managed Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution, combining Zero Trust access, cloud-based threat prevention, and centralised visibility across IT and OT networks. NEC’s experts continuously monitor and manage the service to ensure resilience and compliance.
Outcome
Improved security across distributed operations, simplified network management, and greater protection for critical infrastructure.
Police & Law Enforcement
Use Case
Modernising Critical Communications
Situation
A state emergency services agency was operating with an end-of-life network that limited efficiency and created safety risks across hundreds of sites.
Challenge
Aging WAN and LAN infrastructure couldn’t support reliable communication or meet modern security requirements.
Solution
NEC delivered a Network as a Service (NaaS) solution, replacing legacy systems with a secure, high-bandwidth network across more than 200 locations — including unified communications and IP telephony.
Outcome
Greater staff efficiency, increased bandwidth, and improved public safety through faster, more reliable communication.
