Nokia’s Partnership with K2 Telecom: Enhancing Security and Generating Revenue for Brazil’s Telecom Industry

Nokia Partners with K2 Telecom Brazil to Strengthen Network Security and Create New Revenue Streams

Introduction

Nokia, a renowned technology innovation leader, has recently announced a partnership with K2 Telecom Brazil to enhance network security and create new revenue streams. This collaboration will see the deployment of Nokia‘s cutting-edge solutions, including its unique BNG/CGNAT wholesale solution and its Deepfield Defender software-based DDoS detection and mitigation solution.

Ensuring Network Security

K2 Telecom Brazil, an internet service provider (ISP), has taken a proactive approach to strengthen its security capabilities by adopting network-embedded DDoS security. By selecting Nokia‘s Deepfield Defender solution, K2 Telecom aims to keep its services running smoothly while ensuring the safety of its customers.

Deepfield Defender stands apart for its industry-leading DDoS protection capabilities. It combines network data, such as telemetry, DNS, and BGP, with Nokia‘s patented Deepfield Secure Genome®. This cloud-based data feed continuously tracks the security context of the internet, providing detailed visibility into billions of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It classifies and allocates applications and flows into security-related traffic types and categories using more than 100 Machine Learning rules.

The comprehensive security context provided by Deepfield Defender enables fast and accurate detection of the latest-generation botnet-originated DDoS attacks. It also facilitates rapid mitigation of even the most complex attacks.

Creating New Revenue Streams

Apart from bolstering network security, Nokia‘s solutions will also contribute to the creation of new revenue streams for K2 Telecom through the introduction of innovative wholesale services. The deployment of Nokia‘s Multi-Access Gateway, hosted on its market-leading 7750 Service Router based solution, will support the scale, performance, capacity, and reliability required to deliver secure wholesale broadband services.

Leandro Garcia, the Chief Technology Officer at K2 Telecom, has expressed satisfaction with Nokia‘s solution as it avoids disruptions for end customers. Unlike other companies that redirect unwanted traffic to external clouds, Nokia‘s mitigation is performed internally, directly in the routers’ chipset, in real-time, without causing unavailability to customers.

Nokia‘s Increasing Presence in the ISP Market

Carlos Barroso, IP Leader for Latin America at Nokia, believes that this project highlights Nokia‘s growing footprint in the ISP market. He thanks K2 Telecom for their trust and confidence in Nokia and expresses enthusiasm for further collaboration on future projects as K2 Telecom expands its innovative B2B ISP services in Brazil.

Nokia has established itself as a leading provider of comprehensive network security products, solutions, and services. These offerings include endpoint security, IoT security, access security, digital identity management, security orchestration, DDoS defense, network encryption, firewalls, and self-defending network infrastructure.

According to the latest Nokia Threat Intelligence Report 2023, there has been a significant increase in IoT botnet DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) traffic over the past year. This traffic, originating from insecure IoT devices, aims to disrupt telecom network services for millions of users.

Conclusion: Prioritizing Internet Security

The partnership between Nokia and K2 Telecom Brazil marks a firm commitment to strengthening network security and creating new revenue streams. In an increasingly interconnected world, where cyber threats are ever-present, it is crucial for ISPs to prioritize internet security.

Nokia‘s state-of-the-art solutions, such as Deepfield Defender and Multi-Access Gateway, offer robust protection against DDoS attacks and enable ISPs to provide secure and reliable services. With the continuous evolution of cyber threats, it is essential for ISPs to partner with technology leaders like Nokia to stay one step ahead and safeguard their networks and customers.

By integrating advanced security features directly into their infrastructure, ISPs can ensure that the mitigation of attacks occurs seamlessly and without impacting their customers’ experience. This proactive approach will go a long way in building trust and confidence among users, making the internet a safer place for all.

As the telecom industry evolves, it is encouraging to see partnerships like this, which demonstrate a shared commitment to enhancing security and delivering innovative services. However, it is important for ISPs and technology providers to remain vigilant, continuously update their security measures, and stay abreast of emerging threats. Only through a concerted effort can we effectively combat the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats and protect our interconnected world.
