However, traditional methods can increase an organization's attack surface by exposing ports, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks, and leaving data vulnerable. Atsign's NoPorts offers a solution to this problem with a fundamentally different approach, ensuring robust security and mitigating the risks associated with conventional methods.\n\n\n\"We're thrilled to collaborate with Digi to bring NoPorts to Digi IX40 cellular routers,” said Barbara Tallent, Co-founder and CEO at Atsign. “This integration empowers organizations to leverage the power of edge computing while maintaining robust security at the critical first point of connection.\"\n\n\nNoPorts establishes a secure, zero-trust connection utilizing cryptographic authentication and end-to-end encryption, specifically designed to extend secure access to devices on private networks, like those behind Digi 5G routers. This eliminates the need for exposed Internet-facing ports, significantly reducing the attack surface for these often-critical devices. Additionally, NoPorts offers several key benefits that address the challenges of managing remote access in industrial environments:\n\n\n\nDynamic network compatibility: NoPorts eliminates the need for complex configurations like static IP addresses, making it ideal for remotely accessing devices on dynamic networks like 5G, regardless of their specific network location.\n\n\n\nUniversal compatibility: Works seamlessly with various protoco...
