Wormerveer, March 17, 2025 - Varity is proud to announce the imminent delivery of the SCION Internet architecture in partnership with Anapaya from April 2025. This breakthrough technology offers unmatched network security, reliability and performance, and is designed to meet the growing needs of critical infrastructures. With this, Varity adds a premium product to its portfolio, allowing customers to benefit from even higher levels of security and network management.
SCION (Scalability, Control, and Isolation On Next-generation networks) is a revolutionary Internet architecture designed to overcome the limitations of today's Internet. With SCION, businesses can benefit from enhanced security, better control over their network traffic, and increased resilience against cyber threats.
Technical benefits of SCION
- Multi-path routing: SCION uses multi-path routing, meaning that data can follow multiple paths to reach its destination. This increases network reliability and resilience, as traffic can be automatically rerouted in the event of an outage.
- Isolation domains: SCION introduces the concept of isolation domains, which provide separation of network traffic based on policy rules. This increases security by preventing malicious traffic from spreading to other parts of the network.
- Explicit trust: SCION provides explicit trust through cryptographic verification of network paths. This ensures that only trusted routes are used for data transmission, significantly improving security.
- Resilience against DDoS attacks: SCION's unique architecture makes the network more resilient to DDoS attacks and other malicious activities. This provides a more stable and secure network experience.
Why security is more important now than ever
In today's digital world, network and data security is more important than ever. The increasing reliance on technology and growing complexity of cyber threats make it essential for businesses to implement robust security measures. According to research by CompTIA, protecting sensitive information has become a top priority as cyber threats can disrupt businesses and individuals worldwide. Moreover, a report by OmniDefend has shown that cyber-attacks can result in significant financial losses, reputational damage and disruption to business operations. These factors underscore the need for advanced security solutions such as SCION.
Diederik Wennekes, CEO of Varity, emphasizes the importance of this new technology: “We know how important it is to protect our customers from increasingly complex cyber threats. With the introduction of SCION Internet architecture, in partnership with Anapaya, we offer a practical and powerful solution that not only improves security but also delivers the flexibility and performance businesses need to grow. We are proud to help our customers make their networks more secure and reliable.”
Merijn Evertse, CTO of Varity, added, “SCION represents a new standard in network architecture. It not only provides enhanced security and reliability but also enables companies to manage their networks in a scalable and controlled manner. We are excited to offer this technology to our customers and support them in their digital transformation.”
Anapaya, the exclusive provider of SCION solutions, plays a crucial role in this partnership. Their expertise and technology are essential to the implementation and success of SCION in the Netherlands. “Varity is a logical partner choice for us because of their strong reputation in network solutions and their dedication to customer satisfaction,” said Martin Bosshardt, CEO of Anapaya. “We are proud of our partnership with Varity and look forward to working together to bring the benefits of SCION to businesses in the Netherlands. Our mission is to build a secure, resilient and flexible Internet that our society deserves today.”
Recently, Anapaya has made significant strides in expanding SCION technology. For example, Anapaya has successfully made SCION connectivity available in the Benelux region, significantly improving resilience against DDoS attacks and other malicious activities.
SCION provides unique features such as multi-path routing, isolation domains and explicit trust, ensuring secure and resilient data transmission. This technology is particularly relevant to critical infrastructures such as finance, healthcare and government, where network security and reliability are paramount.
