Connectivity
Secure connectivity built for government
GovConnect combines managed Internet, SD-WAN and WAN connectivity with security built in at every site.
Connectivity and security, together
As government services move online, the network and the security around it need to move together.
Yet many agencies still buy connectivity from one provider, firewalls from another and support from a third. When something goes wrong, fault isolation happens across contracts, and the agency is left in the middle.
Security bolted on after the fact creates the same problem in a different shape: inconsistent policy across sites, gaps in visibility, and no one accountable for the whole picture.
GovConnect takes a different approach. Every site gets a Cello-managed security appliance alongside its connectivity, whether that is Internet, private WAN, SD-WAN or a combination. Stateful firewalling and encrypted traffic in transit are standard at every site, with advanced protection available where the risk profile demands it. Security tiers, resilience categories and connectivity types are selected per site, so a small remote office and a head office can sit on the same service without paying for the same configuration.
Because Cello provides both the circuits and the security overlay, accountability is clear. One NOC sees the whole path, one SLA covers each site, and one team designs it, deploys it and supports it.
All data plane traffic stays on Cello's core network, purpose-built for business connectivity and operated entirely within New Zealand. As requirements change, sites can move between connectivity types without replacing hardware.
