5 Essential Benefits of PCI DSS Certification for Your Business
This blog post explores the role of cloud-managed SD-WAN in optimizing multi-site network management, highlighting the Mako System as a prime example of this technology in action.
The Mako System is a PCI-certified, cloud-managed, carrier-independent networking solution that makes it easy to connect and manage thousands of global sites in a high-performance SD-WAN business network that has no single point of failure and is secure, reliable, scalable and cost-effective. It consists of two parts: the Mako Central Management System (CMS) network management application, and a range of managed network devices installed at customer locations or virtualized in the Cloud. These Mako devices can only be managed in the Mako CMS, which protects them from accidental or malicious local misconfiguration.

The Mako CMS is the cloud application through which all Mako devices are configured, deployed and managed. It is a “single pane of glass” user interface, with multi-factor authentication and role-based access available to authorized users at any time, 24/7, on any Internet-connected device with a web browser.
Configuration changes are applied in near real-time, with alerts generated for key events, such as WAN failover. Templating significantly reduces deployment time and simplifies maintenance by applying common configurations, such as firewall rules, to thousands of distributed enterprise sites at once. Easily connect sites to a resilient, enterprise-grade Mako VPN Cloud with just a few clicks.
A powerful suite of reports and diagnostics provides insight into the health and performance of every device, the circuits that connect them and the overall network.
