But the success of your data security depends on the success of your Cloud strategy, which depends on the success of your network strategy. And that's where Level 3 comes in.

Find the right cloud connection for your business
2013 was the worst year to date for data breaches
The Public Internet is a convenient way to transport data to and from the cloud, but requires vigilance to keep your IT assets and data secure.
More than
740 million online records were exposed
2013 saw a
�ve-fold increase in credit card and social
security numbers compromised
89 percent of the
500 data breaches in the �rst half of 2013 were
considered 'avoidable'
of SSL sites were vulnerable to the
Heartbleed SSL bug in April 2014
17.5% �at means nearly 500,000 digital certi�cates
were at risk of theft and spoo�ng
Web site
Mobile App
Back-end calls to
PII or PCI
Developing and testing
new applications
ERP systems
High data protection/
compliance standards
Data replication or
archival, Big Data
analytics and storage
You sell goods and services or provide content and
generate advertising revenue
Everyone has an Internet connection these days
Delivering news, games or selling goods and services
over mobile devices
Reach a wide audience using any device or
form factor
User authentication and credit card transactions on
your web site or mobile app
Ensures fast response time and complete
security when PII and/ or PCI are contained in
your private cloud
You're adding and con�guring infrastructure to test a new application for a
business unit
Provides a secure environment for developers
and test engineers to do their work without exposing your business network and info to the outside world
Your company uses several di�erent ERP systems to
manage HR functions like recruiting, payroll
and healthcare
Shield sensitive employee data from the outside
world and make sure the apps perform regardless
of where they are located around the world
Your business deals with healthcare information,
credit card data, or sensitive R&D
Retain more control over the security of your data with a network that is
physically separate from the public Internet
You move very large volumes of information in and out of the cloud, some of which may be
highly proprietary
Can be more cost e�ective than the Internet, makes
more e�cient use of bandwidth and deterministic performance translates into
better application performance and productivity
THE NEED THIS MIGHT BE YOU IF...
THE BENEFITS...PUBLIC INTERNET
OR PRIVATE NETWORK
CONNECTION
SO REMEMBER, WITHOUT A NETWORK STRATEGY, IT’S NOT REALLY A CLOUD STRATEGY. WITH PRIVATE NETWORK CONNECTIONS, YOU GET:
End-to-end security and control: keep your data and applications protected from the network on up to the cloud
Application performance: make sure your apps perform as well in the cloud as they did when they were in the data center in your building
E�ciency: scale bandwidth dynamically as you need it and only pay for what you use
