A10 Networks expands carrier-class Gi/SGi firewall lineup with enhanced security

March 2017 by Emmanuelle Lamandé

A10 Networks announced the expansion of its A10 Thunder CFW (convergent firewall) family with a new Gi/SGi firewall
solution and a software-only vThunder CFW for NFV deployments.

The new A10 Thunder CFW addresses rising security concerns of service providers
who are focused on the industry’s transition to 5G, broad-scale deployment of
network functions virtualization (NFV), software-defined networking (SDN)
technologies and the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) connected
devices.

The A10 Thunder CFW also helps service providers deliver a strong, secure
networking environment for their own infrastructure as well as for their
subscribers by combining the security of a carrier-grade firewall with built-in
CGN and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) features.

A10 Networks’ convergent firewall allows service providers and enterprises to
streamline their networks by consolidating security and application networking
into a single solution.

Highlights of the A10 Thunder CFW:

 Gi/SGi Interface Protection— Protects subscribers and shields mobile core
infrastructure – including enterprise services and NAT IP pools – from
cyberattacks to ensure uninterrupted operations. Includes integrated mobile
network security and advanced policy enforcement capabilities, such as stateful
firewall, IPsec VPN, DDoS protection and protocol anomaly protection.
 IPsec for Mobile Backhaul Protection – The connection between cell sites and
core networks are not inherently secure. A high-scale IPsec VPN between LTE
cells and security gateways helps mitigate risks of mobile devices targeting
mobile core infrastructure and maintain confidentiality and data integrity for
subscriber traffic. This is also useful in cases where an operator offers
carrier grade Wi-Fi over an untrusted Wi-Fi access network.
 5G-ready — Supports a high number of concurrent sessions, and subscriber
scale, to provide performance and availability for network scaling demands,
ensuring providers maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty with the 5G
transition.
 Ready for the Modern Network — Carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT) functionality is
fully integrated with A10’s Gi/SGi firewall to address the shortage of IPv4
addresses and extend a provider’s current IPv4 investment. Thunder CFW provides
comprehensive IPv6 transition options. Convergence of the Gi/SGi firewall with
CGNAT capabilities produces welcome CapEx and OpEx reduction.
 Accelerates adoption of SDN/NFV — The new vThunder CFW supports emerging
architectures and offers a flexible, pure software appliance ready to support
emerging data center and cloud architectures.

The new A10 Thunder CFW is available now.
