IP network security

Protect your AI and digitization ambitions with multilayered IP network security

IP network security

Networks and data have never been at greater risk. As organizations embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and continued digitalization, they need new IP network security solutions that can stop increasingly sophisticated security threats that are targeting their networks and data in more ways and more places.

Nokia is addressing this need with a multilayered approach to IP network security. Our approach enables you to build scalable, secure and trusted networks that can help you manage risk and mitigate attacks before they impact business continuity.

Why is IP network security critical?

The world is going digital, and petabyte volumes of data traffic now flow across public, private and corporate networks. As organizations apply technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, 5G, and quantum computing, IP networks will need to handle even more data.

Technologies such as quantum computing and AI will help unlock the next great innovations. But they will also give threat actors new ways to attack our networks and data. We’re already seeing this with AI-powered distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) botnets, emerging quantum computing threats, intricate data breaches and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Like organizations in every industry, you must prioritize security as you design IP networks for the quantum and AI era. But current security approaches don’t offer the scale or functionality you need to tackle bigger, more complex, and more frequent threats.

It’s time for an evolving approach to IP network security so you can protect your AI and digitalization ambitions.

Nokia IP network security: A multi-layer embedded approach to IP network security

Reap the rewards of a multilayered approach to IP network security

Network security must be a top priority in today’s evolving digital, AI and quantum world. But you need to do more than protect your networks and data. You also need to prioritize security as you deploy and support the network systems that make up the network. Nokia IP networks address these needs with an embedded security approach that provides:

1) Scalable and efficient protection provided for network systems, customers, and data.

2) IP trusted systems with system security and trust, with a secure lifecycle to deliver security at scale.

3) Quantum-safe IP communications are delivered securely at network scale with high service performance.

4) Automated, AI-driven DDoS protection that stops the biggest threats

Why choose Nokia for IP network security?

We help you achieve the comprehensive security protection you need by embedding security into layers of the IP network.
