Why SEGP

Every investigation starts with visibility.

Every organisation invests in technology to improve security, performance and resilience. Yet one question is often surprisingly difficult to answer: what is actually connected to your network?

Unknown devices, legacy equipment, IoT hardware and unmanaged systems can quietly become part of your environment without anyone realising. The Secure Edge Gateway Platform (SEGP) is being developed to address that challenge by providing ongoing visibility before security decisions are made.

SEGP is currently in development and testing in the Drive Network Support lab. It has not yet been deployed at a customer site. Monitoring, visibility, telemetry, gateway health and secure connectivity are working in lab testing.

The visibility gap

So why is that question so hard to answer?

Because the perimeter has shifted. Environments now span offices, sites, remote workers and connected equipment — often with no single, current view of what is present.

Point-in-time audits age quickly

Manual inventories become outdated the moment a new device joins the network.

Unmanaged devices are common

IoT sensors, cameras, printers and personal hardware often sit outside managed tooling.

Operational technology is expanding

Industrial and site equipment is increasingly network-connected — and rarely visible to IT.

Blind spots limit decision-making

Where visibility ends, informed prioritisation of security controls becomes harder.

What SEGP does

A clear, current picture of your connected environment.

SEGP focuses on the part that comes first: knowing what is there, where it sits, and how that changes over time.

Designed to show what is connected to your network

From laptops and servers to older equipment, smart devices and machinery on the factory floor.

Designed to identify previously unknown devices

Devices that were never registered, never updated, or simply forgotten about over time.

Designed to keep the picture current

You see changes as they happen, instead of relying on a spreadsheet from last year's audit.

Helps you spend budget where it counts

With a clear picture of what you have, it is far easier to decide what to protect first.

Integrates with your existing technology

SEGP strengthens what you already trust.

DNS takes the lead on your technology environment. SEGP adds visibility and control across connected systems and integrates with the tools and infrastructure you already use, within the validated scope.

1. Your existing infrastructure

The networks, sites and equipment your organisation already relies on every day.

2. Your existing security solutions

Firewalls, endpoint protection and managed services stay exactly where they are.

3. The SEGP visibility layer

SEGP is designed to integrate with your existing infrastructure and support visibility of what is connected across the estate, within the validated scope.

4. Better decisions

Your team works from a current picture rather than assumptions or an outdated inventory.

5. Stronger security outcomes

The tools you already pay for become more effective, because they are pointed at the right things.

Where it sits

How SEGP fits into your existing security.

SEGP is designed to integrate with the controls you already run, within the validated scope.

Your connected estate

Workstations, servers, IoT, cameras, printers and OT equipment.

SEGP visibility layer

Ongoing discovery and monitoring of connected devices and systems within the validated scope.

Your existing controls

Firewalls, endpoint protection and managed security services — better informed.

Why organisations may consider SEGP

Designed around four practical needs.

Visibility

SEGP is designed to help provide a clearer answer to what is connected, within the validated scope.

Confidence

Leadership teams can talk about risk based on what is actually there, not on best guesses.

Compatibility

It is designed to integrate with the vendors, tools and processes you already have in place, subject to assessment.

Better decision making

Clearer information means budget, effort and priorities land where they matter most.
