雅虎香港財經 Nokia (NOK) Boosts Network Security Against DDoS Threats
Nokia Corporation NOK recently announced cutting-edge advancements in Defender Mitigation System (DMS) with strengthened capabilities to thwart Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Cybercriminals conduct DDoS attacks by overwhelming a network with excessive internet traffic and disrupting the normal functioning of the target server or network. Attackers often use botnets, a network of infected devices such as computers and IoT devices controlled remotely.
With an Advanced Countermeasures Engine boasting enhanced inspection and network analysis capabilities, the latest Nokia 7750 DMS-1 is well-equipped to address these threats. The Deepfield Defender is a key element of Nokia’s DDoS security. Leveraging AI-driven big data analytics, it efficiently performs network telemetry analysis to make real-time decisions on neutralizing DDoS attacks.
In the era of advanced digitalization and growing usage of 5G, IoT and cloud, communication service providers (CSPs) and enterprises are witnessing a surge in cyber-attacks. Exploiting the heightened complexity of the system, cybercriminals are deploying more sophisticated and improvised techniques. The industry has seen a significant rise in botnet-based DDoS attacks recently. Against this backdrop, CSPs and businesses are looking for a fast, precise and efficient solution that works seamlessly in multiple networking and security environments.
The latest 7750 DMS-1 with advanced features offered comprehensive DDoS protection. It includes enhanced DNS server protection and effective inspection of data packets traveling through networks. Its geo-IP blocking capability restricts traffic from specific geographical locations, suspected as sources of attacks. Moreover, an integrated global map of DDoS botnets also facilitates the identification and neutralizing of threats at the source.
The DDoS protection market is projected to grow at a substantial rate in the upcoming years. Nokia’s strategy of strengthening its security portfolio in accordance with the ever-changing DDoS threat landscape will bolster its commercial prospects.
Nokia is well-positioned for the ongoing technology cycle, given the strength of its end-to-end portfolio. Its installed base of high-capacity AirScale products, which enables customers to upgrade to 5G quickly, is growing fast. The company currently has 319 commercial 5G deals with communications service providers globally. It has 110 live 5G networks, both public and private. The 5G portfolio is increasingly gaining traction among enterprise customers.
The stock has declined 4.2% in the past year against the industry’s growth of 42.7%.
