Blue Ridge Networks understands and provides cybersecurity, and they now welcome the Space Foundation.

  Blue Ridge Networks, a provider of cybersecurity solutions to government and commercial enterprises, today announced it has provided its full suite of capabilities for network security for the operations of the Space Foundation, a global, nonprofit organization and the foremost advocate for the space industry – civil, commercial, military, and intelligence.  As part of the arrangement, Blue Ridge will provide its solutions and managed services to secure the Space Foundation’s networks and assets.

“The Space Foundation is a key advocate for building awareness and providing education that aims to advance space-related endeavors as well as cyberspace advancements

Blue Ridge is deploying its Blue Ridge Connect managed service for network security, secure remote access, and endpoint protection across the entire Space Foundation network.  Secure access to the Space Foundation network will be managed through one of Blue Ridge’s twelve secure co-location network centers in the United States.  The Space Foundation will enjoy Trusted Enclave and Trusted Access protected network sessions without disruption to its normal operations, and with the ability to enjoy fully secure “cloud computing” operations.

“We have multiple field offices spread around the country, from our headquarters in Colorado to Washington, D.C., Texas, and Florida, all with the requirements to connect securely to our network,” said Elliot Pulham, CEO of the Space Foundation.  “As a not-for-profit, we were finding it difficult to identify a cost-effective option that would help solve our internal and remote access security challenges.  Blue Ridge provided the benefit of an end-to-end solution with the value add of its managed services.  We appreciate Blue Ridge stepping up to assist our organization.”
