METER on Smashing Security

Transcript

Right. Let's take a moment to talk about one of today's sponsors, meter. So picture this. You need to set up a network for a new office. Suddenly, you're juggling ISPs, floor plans, hardware configuration. Oh, what a headache. It's basically a second job. Yes. The classic experience of paying a contractor to arrive on the wrong day at the wrong address to install the wrong thing. Right. Well, Meta's entire pitch is this. What if that just wasn't your problem? Tell me more. They are a network as a service company. They are genuinely end to end. You hand them a physical address and a floor plan, and they handle everything. They sort out the ISP. They design the network. They show up on-site. They rack their own hardware, not reselling someone else's kit, and they get the whole thing running. So I don't have to spend forty five odd minutes on hold with a company whose hold music is a fifteen second loop of pan flute that I've committed to harp. No. You don't. And once you're up and running, you get a single dashboard covering monitoring, management, security, VLANs, firewall, DNS security, SD WAN, all of it. Full visibility and control. None of the tedious legwork.
