Ericsson
(NASDAQ: ERIC) is advancing 5G core network security for communications service
providers (CSPs) through the launch of the cloud native Ericsson Packet Core
Firewall.
Core
network security is a key factor in CSPs’ forward business planning as they
pursue innovative new business opportunities powered by 5G and emerging
technologies. Ericsson’s new solution, part of the Ericsson 5G platform, is aimed at enabling CSPs to pursue
those opportunities not only through the best packet core network security
capabilities, but also in the most cost-effective way for their business.
Powered by
A10 Networks’ (NASDAQ: ATEN) advanced security technology, the Ericsson Packet Core Firewall solution is
already seamlessly integrated with Ericsson
Packet Core Gateway in Ericsson’s dual-mode 5G Core offering. The solution also supports end-to-end
network slicing and edge computing.
The cloud
native offering is optimized to scale with user plane to the edge of the
network to cater for secure core network 5G use cases. By protecting a
communications service provider’s core network - including sensitive service
provider data and customer data – the all-in-one solution secures 5G service
availability.
The
solution delivers more than 50 percent total cost of ownership reduction over
dedicated user plane security solutions, while maintaining 5G latency. This is
enabled through a single CNF (Cloud
Native Network Function) solution with simplified maintenance and
orchestration.
