“The migration process from NFV to Rakuten Symphony’s cloud-native platform was a feat in itself, in which Allot participated as a close technology partner with Rakuten Mobile,” said Dr. Oren Kaufman, General Manager at Allot Japan. “As a part of the Rakuten Mobile blueprint for cloud-native networking services, Allot has displayed an ability to support a top-tier communications service provider in the live cloud-native deployment of its fully containerized solutions, protecting one of the most advanced networks in the world.”
The Allot Smart NetProtect solution employs machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect anomalies in the network traffic and block incoming attacks before they affect legitimate traffic and service quality. This method is also effective in rapidly detecting and stopping unknown zero-day attacks and in blocking outbound attacks that can damage the CSP’s reputation. The solution inspects all network traffic and provides unrivalled scalability to mitigate even large terabit volumetric attacks from multiple vectors within seconds.
