5G and IoT Growth – an Expanding Threat Surface
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), 5G-enabled connectivity and edge-based service offerings all expose new business opportunities – and new operational challenges – for mobile operators. This expanded service reach and traffic growth comes with greater urgency to protect a much more expansive, ephemeral network perimeter encompassing subscribers, the mobile RAN/core, internal datacenters and service delivery infrastructure and multi-access edge computing (MEC). Mobile networks have become the new Internet on-ramp of choice for millions of users and enterprises. Securing this complex network environment requires scalable, real-time visibility, detection, and mitigation of threats that can impact the performance and availability of mobile consumer services and network infrastructure.
(1) Arbor Sightline and Threat Mitigation System (TMS) automatically detect and mitigate inbound DDoS attacks targeting the mobile SGI/N6 interface.
(2) MobileStream DPI and Arbor Sightline Mobile monitor, detect and correlate outbound cyberattacks and other threats in the mobile core targeting both mobile subscriber devices and MNO infrastructure.
(3) Virtual Arbor Sightline, TMS and Arbor Edge Defense (AED) protect vital service delivery infrastructure in the MEC from DDoS attacks and other threats.
(4) NETSCOUT’s Omnis Security suite enables SecOps teams to rapidly identify, block and trace back cyberattacks and other threats targeting the MNO’s own IT infrastructure.
