VY network
Government shared secure communication solution
•
The VY network provides government agencies with
quick, reliable and secure access to government shared
services, other agencies, and external services, such as
the Internet. The VY network forms an intranet service
between the government agencies that have joined it.
Lasse Melkko / VIP
•
Offices are connected to each other and the shared services
via a common, secure and verified Connection Hub.
•
Centralised data security services include firewalls, antivirus
programmes, the prevention of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks,
and intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS).
•
VIP Expert Service Point combines the problem solving of
government shared services and data communications in one
location.
•
Office-specific access networks are acquired through a
Hansel framework agreement.
