Nokia AI and machine learning are foundational to the company’s XDR solutions and offer CSPs and enterprises threat detection and response capabilities that, among other things, combine data from various security technologies to enable security teams to detect and respond to threats in real time.
The flexible and secure Nokia XDR solution, “NetGuard Cybersecurity Dome,” allows security operations teams to select from a comprehensive use case catalogue to cover their entire critical infrastructure technology, from the Core, Transport to RAN. These use cases detect specific telco network threats and provide predefined actions for the security incidents and remediation management.
Nokia XDR allows CSPs and enterprises to fully digitize their business experience in a hybrid-cloud, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment via a usage-based subscription.
