NetGuard Endpoint Detection
and Response

Early threat detection inside live telecom services

EDR banner

Nokia NetGuard Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) brings early threat detection directly into live telecom services. It observes runtime and network behavior in real time, correlating signals across cloud-native and legacy network functions to surface stealthy telecom attacks without impacting service availability.

What is a telecom-specialized EDR?

A telecom-specialized EDR solution is purpose-built for communication networks, not lifted from IT. It addresses the realities of telecom environments where downtime is unacceptable, strict compliance is mandatory, and performance cannot be compromised.

 

A telecom-specialized EDR is designed to:

  • Detect threats early across distributed network environments before they impact services
  • Operate inside live network functions without affecting performance or latency
  • Maintain predictable CPU and memory usage, even under load or attack
  • Align with telecom lifecycle management, validation and upgrade processes
  • Avoid kernel‑space modifications and opaque components, reducing systemic risk
  • Correlate network, runtime and behavioral signals into actionable detection context
  • Support compliance with early reporting requirements and sovereignty constraints

How NetGuard EDR works

 

  1. Observe
    Continuously captures runtime, host and network behavior from inside live services
  2. Enrich
    Unifies data in central server and enriches with telecom context and threat intelligence
  3. Detect 
    Identifies deviations from expected behavior and previously unseen patterns in real time
  4. Alert
    Delivers actionable alerts to orchestration systems with clear evidence and attack mapping
  5. Accelerate
    Supports faster containment and response through integration and automated workflows
