SAM Seamless Network
Overview: SAM Seamless Network
SAM Seamless Network delivers a software solution that runs as a service on top of the network service provider router, protecting the entire network and all connected smart devices. SAM currently secures approximately 7 million unmanaged networks and has developed profiles for over 500 million connected devices globally.
The explosion of smart devices (IoTs) that are easy to connect to home and business networks, including intelligent doorbells, security cameras, baby monitors, and various appliances, increase exposure to and risks from cybersecurity attacks as those are extremely vulnerable. By automatically identifying, profiling, and tracking the communication to and from every connected device attached to the network, SAM is able to create customized protection for all home and SMB users. SAM’s effectiveness is based on the software’s ability to continuously improve learning algorithms to identify both connected devices and the unique security requirements by model. By providing comprehensive security coverage against hacking and remote penetration of routers, networks and devices connected to those networks, SAM enables customers to holistically protect both their networks and the computer assets attached to those networks. It offers a seamless, frictionless experience from end-user enrollment to software updates without any user intervention or impact on performance. SAM serves major global telecom and network providers, including Verizon, Virgin Media, Liberty Global, Orange, and Bezeq.
