In a bold and strategic move, RETN has redefined its role in the telecom industry, evolving from a traditional wholesale telecom provider to combining cutting-edge cyber security with network level protection. . This transformation was marked by the rapid implementation of Nexusguard’s Bastions platform, enhancing RETN’s cybersecurity capabilities and enabling DDoS protection as a key service offering on a global scale. RETN’s transition underscores its commitment to providing next-generation network solutions that offer not only low latency connectivity but also robust security for clients navigating today’s increasingly complex digital threats.
Historically, RETN focused on delivering core connectivity and network infrastructure services, but the rise of sophisticated cyber threats demanded more comprehensive protection measures. Recognizing the market need, RETN sought to differentiate its services through enhanced security, with a specific focus on DDoS mitigation. The adoption of Nexusguard’s Bastions technology allowed RETN to move beyond network offerings to become a value-driven provider, offering integrated security as a service alongside its connectivity solutions.
The traditional DDoS mitigation solutions that RETN previously relied on were not designed for flexible, customer-centric service offerings. They lacked scalability and cost-efficiency, hindering RETN's ability to adapt and deliver these solutions quickly for a diverse client base. As cyber threats evolved, so did client expectations for resilient, low-latency DDoS protection that could seamlessly fit into their existing infrastructure. Nexusguard's Bastions platform solved these pain points by enabling RETN to rapidly deploy scalable, high-performance DDoS protection services that aligned with today’s cybersecurity needs, opening new revenue streams and fostering stronger client partnerships.
RETN’s rapid, 90-day transition exemplifies its agility and strategic foresight. The deployment, which included five Points of Presence (POPs), was accomplished within 60 days, followed by customer onboarding within the next 30 days. By transforming so swiftly, RETN demonstrated its deep technical capability to address client demands for immediate DDoS protection in a market that often faces delays and limitations in such critical offerings.
With the Nexusguard Bastions platform, RETN’s DDoS Protection suite offers an array of advanced capabilities:
In a recent collaboration with CHIEF Telecom to launch a DDoS mitigation platform in Taiwan, RETN showcased its commitment to delivering security-driven connectivity solutions across new regions. This strategic expansion highlights RETN’s ambition to extend its network security protection, appealing to clients who value not only high-performance networks but also peace of mind through built-in cybersecurity.
The feedback from RETN’s network and sales teams has been resoundingly positive, reflecting increased confidence in the company’s ability to mitigate DDoS attacks and drive customer satisfaction. According to RETN’s CEO, the decision to partner with Nexusguard stemmed from its robust DDoS protection capabilities tailored to RETN’s unique needs. “Their technology empowers us to offer exceptional value and service, setting a new standard in our industry,” he noted.
“Previously, just provisioning standard DDoS mitigation services took valuable time and resources. With Nexusguard’s Bastions, I not only get faster onboarding but the freedom to be truly creative—building flexible packages that adapt to an ever-changing market. I can rely on Nexusguard’s platform and team to deliver flawlessly every time, allowing us to meet customer needs with confidence.” — William Manzione, Product Manager, RETN
By incorporating Nexusguard’s Bastions technology, RETN has successfully evolved security as a central tenet of its service model. This transformation not only strengthens its position in the market but also ensures that RETN clients operate securely in an increasingly threat-laden environment, where connectivity and security must go hand in hand.
