KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 22): US-based Transaction Network Services (TNS) has launched the TNS Secure SD-WAN, which leverages Fortinet’s leading Secure SD-WAN solution.

In a statement today, TNS, which is a provider of infrastructure-as-a-service solutions said that in partnership with Fortinet, TNS Secure SD-WAN combines managed payment services with next generation network security. 

It said the new service can help businesses seeking a solution in a secure SD-WAN environment achieve digital transformation, embrace cloud adoption and maximise technology budgets.

The firm said the TNS Secure SD-WAN is a fully integrated, end-to-end managed solution that can simplify retailers’ operations by centrally managing their network and addressing the complexity that always-connected commerce presents for merchants.

It said retailers can securely connect, among other things, online e-commerce gateways, Automatic Teller Machines, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, cash registers, printers, back office computing, forecourt tank gauges, CCTV cameras, number plate recognition technology, and even guest customer Wi-Fi.

TNS payments market business Asia Pacific managing director Michael Johnson said SD-WAN is already widely available to businesses, but TNS brings Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant security credentials and global payments experience as a managed service.

“Our SD-WAN solution enables merchants to prioritise their data usage centrally to secure their payments and business-critical systems,” he said.   

Johnson said the partnership with Fortinet focuses on the unique requirements of merchants needing to manage retail systems, protect sensitive card data and complete digital transformation sooner rather than later.

“If coronavirus has taught us anything, it is that omnichannel is more paramount than ever. It is a lifeline that enables delivery, curbside, and onsite, but it adds complexity and increased risk to payment transaction processing,” he said.
