Mobile Security and Network Services
Carrier-Grade Security at Mobile Scale
The explosive growth of mobility and cloud migration has driven mobile carriers globally to accelerate borderless connectivity services regardless of the domains and locations. To support these business objectives, new technologies and network infrastructures (such as LTE, small cells, IPv6, and the cloud) are deployed.
Mobility and the Internet of Things (IoT) are at the core of expanded 4G and upcoming 5G services and are subject to attack along with the rest of the mobile infrastructure. Imminent and constantly evolving security threats coming from multiple vectors are a pervasive challenge. To compound the issue, the unprecedented scale of mobile networks strains many IP infrastructures. Mobile carriers must protect their expanding infrastructures and ensure migration paths from IPv4 to IPv6.
Fortinet offers mobile carriers a strategic security solution that specifically addresses the unique scaling, performance, and connectivity needs of today’s mobile carriers.
Our solution delivers:
A high-end FortiGate Firewall running FortiOS-Carrier has all the features of FortiOS, plus more, such as security gateway (SeGw) functionality. To protect the three types of traffic in LTE Evolved Packet Core deployments, a SeGW for control plane communications and a Gi/sGi firewall (Gi/sGi-FW) for user traffic are required. Functionality includes:
Designed specifically for mobile deployments, FortiCarrier delivers high predictability and service-level consistency to environments that generate massive numbers of connection set-ups and tear-downs.
