Enhancing Safety with Signaling Overlay
Enea says its signaling overlay know-how is a novel strategy to enhancing cell community safety and effectivity. By using transport layer-aware distributed ingestion throughout each digital/cloud and conventional community infrastructures, signaling firewalls achieve deeper insights into community occasions, making certain safety in opposition to rising threats.
Leveraging the adaptive signaling firewall’s superior strategies for detection and protocol correlation, the overlay know-how permits cell operators to safeguard their networks in opposition to subtle assaults, Enea famous.
Moreover, Enea mentioned Zain KSA’s community infrastructure gives an optimum surroundings for discipline validation of the idea. The signaling safety overlay know-how pilot undertaking will likely be undertaken in Zain KSA’s community in Saudi Arabia throughout 2024.
This pilot will reportedly speed up the know-how innovation and deployment of signaling safety options for advanced and extra subtle community safety assaults.
