The PNK is our version of a network in a box. Housed inside a ruggedized and weatherproof case, our solution is comprised of a Cradlepoint router, internal antenna, and data from the nation’s most reliable carriers.
Several customers who need mobile connectivity from the PNK also require advanced network security to protect things like health records, payment information, and other sensitive data.
Here, we’ll outline the universal security features that come with every PNK, as well as additional steps you can take to add more robust security features to your unit.
Built In Security Features
Cradlepoint R1900
Our preferred device choice for the PNK, the R1900 enables unified edge security with application-aware firewalls, IPS/IDS, and more. These features are all easily customizable and can be remotely managed using the NetCloud subscription included with your device at purchase.
Cradlepoint IBR900
Built to be versatile and able to meet the needs of several types of businesses, the IBR900 features a stateful-zone based firewall, with the ability to add application-aware security policies by purchasing a NetCloud Advanced plan.
Physical Security
Every PNK comes pre-drilled with two slots for padlocks so ensure the internals are only accessed by approved staff, and the ruggedized case helps the device survive falls, drops, rain, dust, dirt, and more.
Add Additional Security with NOC & Ericom
If your organization requires more than the standard security features, you can add managed support from our Network Operations Center and/or zero-day security from Ericom.
Zero Day Security
Ericom Zero Trust web and application secure access solutions use isolation-based Zero Trust controls to air-gap critical IT resources from even the most advanced zero-day threats while enabling a simple and seamless user experience.
By partnering with Ericom, our team can help you add any of Ericom’s suite of products to your PNK deployment to ensure your network is protected from many of the most dangerous types of digital intrusions.
Managed Support with NOC
Every RCN solution, including the PNK, provides you with the option to purchase a NOC Support license. This provides you with managed support, including around-the-clock device security monitoring from our team of Cradlepoint-certified experts.
Plus, each license is customizable with service packs that help you receive a more tailored support plan. Our Network Security Service Pack, which includes advanced Cradlepoint security firewall setup, support, and configuration updates upon request would be ideal for added security.
How Secure Is the PNK?
Ultimately, how secure your PNK is depends on the level of security needed by your organization.
All PNKs include enterprise-level digital security protection, but can be further improved upon by adding NOC Support or Zero-day security from Ericom.
