Nokia Deepfield Defender Solution Sheet

DDoS attacks have grown sharply in frequency, intensity, and sophistication. The AI and cloud era has expanded both the attack surface and the firepower available to adversaries, with AI-driven threats that automate reconnaissance and orchestrate multi-vector assaults at machine speed. Modern botnets — millions of compromised IoT devices, routers, and cloud instances — launch hypervolumetric attacks in the multi-terabit range, while weaponized residential proxies fuel stealthy application-layer (Layer 7) attacks that evade reputation- and signature-based defenses. Today's threats span the full DDoS spectrum — volumetric, protocol, application-layer, hypervolumetric, and AI-orchestrated multi-vector — targeting network infrastructure, business and residential customers, cloud and edge workloads, and AI training and inference clusters. Legacy appliance- or DPI-centric solutions cost more to scale and miss more attacks as adversaries outpace static-rule architectures. The Nokia DDoS security solution, centered on Nokia Deepfield Defender, combines big data analytics with advanced, programmable IP routers for next-generation detection and mitigation: greater scalability, improved detection with lower false positives, agile, network-based mitigation, and much improved cost efficiency. This solution sheet outlines the features and innovations that make Deepfield Defender a cornerstone of a holistic, 360-degree DDoS security solution for the AI and cloud era.
