Cisco announces New Solutions for Mobile Networks
February 2017 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Cisco announces its Security Architecture for Mobile Service Providers, a comprehensive portfolio of threat-centric solutions that offers multi-layered protection across the network, the endpoint (device) and the cloud.
New elements include:
– Network Security: To help service providers protect their mobile backhaul from
attacks against the core network, Cisco introduces its next generation of highly
scalable, physical and virtual Security Gateway (SecGW) solutions, supported by the
Firepower 9300 and Firepower 4100 Series firewall appliances, ASR 900 Series routers and Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv).
– Device Security: Cisco security on the device enables enterprises and service
providers to extend visibility and device-level protection to offer a robust
mobile device platform for the enterprise. Cisco and Samsung will deliver endpoint
visibility and data intelligence to business customers via Samsung Knox, Cisco(R)
AnyConnect and Cisco Stealthwatch solutions.
– Cloud Security: Service providers can now deliver new revenue streams by offering
their customers new managed security services from their own managed cloud, or
Cisco-managed cloud environments. Today Cisco announces ’Cisco Umbrella for Service Providers’, a new cloud-delivered security platform that helps service providers
address the critical needs of their customers, while creating a new revenue
opportunity for their business. Cisco is also introducing new integration of its
Cisco Umbrella security service, with the Cisco Evolved Packet Core (EPC), available
to run on the Cisco Ultra Services Platform or Cisco ASR 5500 Series routers to
deliver a more secure Internet experience to any mobile device.
A broad mix of these security solutions is being implemented by mobile service
providers and device manufacturers including Deutsche Telekom, Samsung, Vodafone
Hutchinson Australia and others, as they move with confidence toward a 5G world.
