While the three services are also being targeted toward high-end business users, it's likely that ASPs will make up the majority of the customer base. Secure Vault is a high-end collocation service that lets customers store their servers in a caged area within an AboveNet data center. This service ensures that the customer's servers cannot be physically tampered with. AboveNet's Secure IP Response is an intrusion-detection service. Secure Connectivity lets AboveNet customers set up 128-bit key encryption at their access routers to ensure their data will be securely transported over the Internet.
Users can also deploy digital certificate network and user authentication.
Secure IP Response and Secure Connectivity are add-on services only for AboveNet's Secure Vault service customers.
