What is VSN+?
VSN+ is a cybersecurity and networking solution developed by Netlinkz Ltd. of Australia. It uses zero-trust architecture, military-grade encryption, and software-defined networking to create a secure, private, and scalable digital environment without the complexities of traditional VPNs or leased lines.
Unlike conventional systems, VSN+ builds virtual, encrypted tunnels over public internet connections, allowing organizations to securely connect users, devices, applications, and remote sites from any location. With software-only deployment, it’s lightweight and easily integrated, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes, including those with remote or hybrid work models.
VSN+ provides real-time threat protection, continuous monitoring, and seamless integration, enabling organizations to scale securely without the need for heavy infrastructure investments.
SecureLink: A Game-Changer in Philippine Tech
SecureLink’s entry into the Philippine market isn’t just about launching a product—it’s about changing the way cybersecurity and connectivity are delivered. By combining PT&T’s infrastructure and local expertise with Netlinkz’s advanced technology, SecureLink is setting a new standard for how enterprises, government agencies, and critical industries protect their digital environments.
James Tsiolis, CEO of Netlinkz and Chairman of SecureLink Networks, stated, “This is just the beginning. VSN+ is our way of safeguarding digital infrastructure across Southeast Asia. With PT&T as our partner, we aim to transform how cybersecurity is delivered in the region.”
SecureLink’s presence in the Philippines is not just a business milestone—it’s a firm commitment to powering a safer, smarter, and more connected digital future. The company is poised to play a key role in supporting national digitalization efforts, advancing cyber defense capabilities, and making world-class cybersecurity solutions accessible to every Filipino enterprise.
