Secure & Scale 5G Networks
We help mobile operators future-proof their networks with agile and consolidated solutions, which result in improved security, hyperscale delivery, higher reliability, and lower TCO.
Resources
5G Requires High-performance, Software-based Security
Mobile operators are virtualizing their networks and deploying security solutions that leverage NFV and cloud-native technology. 5G security is critical for new use cases such as connected cars or tele-mentored surgery, which will drive stringent new security and latency requirements, as disruptions could be catastrophic.
Legacy Security is Inadequate
Networks will need to replace legacy security systems with those capable of automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning and threat intelligence as network demand exponentially increases and the threat surface expands.
5G & IoT Demand Higher Performance
5G and IoT traffic is inherently different than 4G/LTE and so requires greater throughput, packets and concurrent sessions from security infrastructure.
Ever-evolving, modern cyber attacks
Static, monolithic systems with fixed licensing models cannot meet the needs for an agile SDN/NFV infrastructure that can adapt and rapidly scale on demand to changing business needs.
How We Can Help
Our 5G solution portfolio provides highly flexible, advanced security at strategic locations in the mobile network, delivering unprecedented performance and scalability in software – VNFs, container, bare metal – or physical form factors, as needed.
Secure Network and Sustain Availability
- Guarantee uptime and ensure control- and user-plane security with GTP firewall, Gi/SGi firewall, control- and user-plane policy enforcement, DNS protection and more.
- Automate DDoS protection using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), Dynamic Attack Pattern Recognition (DAPR), continuous baselining, and distributed intelligence.
5G Hyperscale
- Scale concurrent sessions to multi-billion levels and throughput to multi-terabit levels in a scale-out cluster.
- 5G deployments can benefit from compact and efficient options in physical, virtual and container form factors.
Service Agility and Faster Network Rollout
- Deliver services in a form factor that meets the needs of multi-generational mobile networks.
- Integrate with leading SDN and NFV architectures and interoperate with multiple MANO environments.
- Use flexible software licensing and consumption via A10’s FlexPool subscription-based capacity pooling
- Access 100% API-driven capabilities for all functionality on A10 solutions for SecOps and DevOps requirements
Simplified Management & Intelligent Analytics
- A10 Harmony Controller simplifies management tasks, while delivering comprehensive control across the Thunder portfolio.
- Reduce the need for IT administrators to set up and configure per-application infrastructure.
SK Telecom Launches World’s First 5G Service, Secured With A10 Thunder CFW
SK Telecom (SKT), the largest mobile operator in South Korea, launched the world’s first commercial 5G service and needed to scale and secure its next-generation 5G ready network. SKT deployed Thunder CFW with Harmony Controller.
