NetGuard Endpoint Detection
and Response
Real-time threat detection for telecom networks
Nokia NetGuard Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) keeps your telecom network safe across technologies with real-time threat detection and deterministic performance. Its multi-layer approach combines lightweight agents and network traffic sensors with telco-tuned detection capabilities.
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:
- Protect mission-critical communications from nation-state and targeted attacks without introducing risk
- Handle hybrid complexity across legacy and cloud-native network functions with lifecycle alignment
- Meet regulatory and sovereignty requirements without leaning on external dependencies
- Keep performance guarantees for 5G and ultra-low latency networks with lightweight, deterministic EDR agents
- Avoid kernel exposure, eliminating black-box vulnerabilities and fragile OS changes
- Move with your network’s lifecycle, so installations, upgrades, and fixes don’t bring complexity or extra cost
Differences between telco network security and IT security
NetGuard EDR benefits
Security observability
Multi-layer threat detection instantly across CNFs, VNFs, and appliances, from 5G core to legacy systems
Actionable network intelligence
Intelligent alerting for immediate detection of suspicious activities with seamless ecosystem integration
No compromise on availability
Avoids introducing privilege and memory risks that can compromise mobile network functions
How do you build a secure, cloud‑native mobile core from scratch?
Watch Bogdan Hantanu share how Norlys collaborates with Nokia to embed security from day one and meet Denmark’s strict regulations. Learn how they combine cloud‑native architecture with telco‑grade defenses such as real‑time monitoring, certificate management, and privileged access control.
How NetGuard EDR works
