Achieving this is increasingly difficult due to growing threats from network-level attacks and security breaches and to the limited scalability, functionality and cost-effectiveness of IP network security solutions based on appliances and servers.
As a service provider, you know you need to find new approaches to address the escalating threat landscape before it impacts your brand reputation and profitability. The solution lies in making security functions like DDoS defense and network encryption just like packet forwarding — a high-performance, highly scalable capability of the IP network itself.
Nokia has pioneered this approach by embedding network security functions into every layer of the IP network infrastructure.
