Protecting your network from a wide range of threats
As LTE networks upgrade to 5G, threats to mobile networks are also expanding. Additional small and micro cells in unsecure locations, IoT devices and sensors, edge computing nodes, and unsecure intermediate transport networks are increasing the attack surface. Additionally, cloud architectures are creating the need for distributed network security solutions.
Nokia offers a suite of network security solutions to address these concerns featuring industry-leading standards compliance, performance, capacity and scalability.
A 3GPP-compliant IP security (IPSec) Security Gateway solution secures IP traffic between base stations, cloud and core networks.
IPsec tunnel endpoints require digital certificates for authentication. The NetGuard Certificate Manager sets up a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to distribute and manage certificates to all these entities ensuring that only operator-authorized base stations can access the network. Efficient operation is provided through fully automated certificate lifecycle management.
Virtual firewalls protect the mobile core, data centers and virtualized network functions in cloud environments.
Nokia Deepfield provides real-time distributed denial of service (DDoS) detection and can facilitate a variety of mitigation options. When used with Nokia’s FP4-equipped service routers, the routers are able to discard DDoS traffic as it attempts to enter the network with minimal impact on other network users.
Nokia network security solutions allow operators to maintain carrier-grade availability, offer differentiated security-based services, and protect their customers, as well as their own business and reputation from attack.
