Edge Network Fabric (ENF) Secure Overlay Network for IoT

Xaptum’s ENF router card with Wi-Fi enables secure data exchange between dispersed IoT devices and back-end cloud applications over the ENF, a secure software-defined overlay network that enables seamless security and scalability for IoT deployments.

The ENF adds significant security and manageability advantages over simply connecting IoT devices directly to the public internet. The simplified architecture hides IoT devices from the public internet to protect against threats like zero-day exploits and accidental misconfiguration. It enables IoT deployments at scale by providing full visibility, tracking, and control of IoT assets with foundational security, zero-touch identity provisioning, flexible traffic orchestration, and support for any application protocol.

The ENF router card with Wi-Fi connects an IoT device or gateway to the ENF over any Wi-Fi network. The mini PCI-e module is a drop-in replacement for a normal Wi-Fi card. The device receives an IP address from the ENF instead of the local Wi-Fi network, and its traffic is securely tunneled to the ENF backbone over the local network. The plug-n-play router card does not require software changes on the device and enables remote management of the Wi-Fi configuration (SSIDs, passphrases, and more).
