New function for SD-WAN: GTT introduces Secure Co-Manage for SD-WAN and security services. Improved network transparency and self-service functionality in the GTT customer portal.
GTT Communications, Inc., a leading global provider of cloud networks for multinational customers, has announced the addition of Secure Co-Manage to its EtherVision portal. This offers customers improved visibility into network security and the ability to make changes to network configuration and firewall policies in real time. The new portal feature is available for GTT SD-WAN and Security Services and offers expanded insight into network security and performance. Customers benefit from extended self-service functions with fast response times to security threats and optimized application performance.
Secure co-management for security management
Secure Co-Manage from GTT ensures comprehensive security management. It can be used to manage firewall policies and objects or configure next-generation functions for advanced firewall services directly from the customer portal. This allows customers to monitor historical and current network threats. In addition, companies receive meaningful insights into log data, traffic flows and the execution of security functions such as intrusion prevention, anti-virus, application control, web filters and sandbox executions. These detailed insights provide you with comprehensive information about the behavior of the corporate network, including high-risk applications and detected threats. In addition, IT system administrators can flexibly adjust the access control over the network access - based on the user status.

With Secure Co-Manage, companies can more easily monitor their GTT SD-WAN services via intuitive tables, widgets and map views. These provide comprehensive diagnostic insight into the network interfaces, including latency, jitter, data volume, bandwidth and session utilization. In addition, the new portal feature has functions with which customers can make policy changes without placing an order. This gives companies better visibility into bandwidth usage for optimized application performance, as well as their network security.
“Organizations need to respond to a threat landscape that is constantly evolving. At the same time, they should also manage application performance and optimize their network utilization, ”says Don MacNeil, COO of GTT. “GTT Secure Co-Manage enables greater end-to-end transparency and improved monitoring mechanisms. The new function is an example of how we implement our customers' wishes directly and further develop self-service functions.
