Allot 5G NetProtect

Allot 5G NetProtect is a cloud-native network security solution designed for communication service providers (CSPs) operating 5G networks. It addresses the expanded attack surface introduced by 5G architectures, including the proliferation of IoT devices, multi-access edge computing (MEC) nodes, and high-throughput connections. The solution secures the 5G user plane through a multi-layer threat prevention strategy. It is built on an inline Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine and is designed for low-latency, high-throughput 5G-scale environments. Key functional areas include: - In-line DDoS detection and mitigation, covering both inbound and outbound traffic - Botnet mitigation through monitoring and isolation of infected IoT and bot endpoints - IoT security targeting large-scale volumetric attacks up to Tbps levels - Critical application QoE assurance through policy-driven, automated traffic prioritization - Zero-day attack mitigation using machine learning The solution is composed of three integrated Allot components: - Allot DDoS Secure: handles volumetric DDoS mitigation and infected host isolation - Allot Service Gateway: a multiservice platform providing DPI-based policy control - Allot ClearSee Analytics: provides network usage intelligence and performance visibility The architecture is described as a single, integrated, cloud-native solution tailored for 5G CSP security requirements, with automated detection and mitigation capabilities aimed at reducing network downtime and operational costs.
