Mobile Network Security
Comprehensive threat detection for 4G/5G mobile wireless networks.
5G is Forcing a Fundamental Shift in Operational Focus
The advent of 5G is forcing a fundamental shift in operational focus from Performance, Reliability and Coverage, adding Security as a key tenet. Mobile broadband has become the Internet on-ramp of choice for millions of subscribers; but as more home and small office infrastructure transitions to using mobile connectivity, the same risks to service availability and quality that have plagued wireline networks for years are coming to MNOs (mobile network operators).
MNOs are now challenged with:
- Managing increasing threat activity from consumer fixed wireless access, IoT, gaming, and non-NAT services, etc.
- Achieving scalable, granular, cost-effective visibility into fast growing user plane traffic.
- Ensuring identity attribution for accurate threat mitigation and reporting.
