Service providers, including fixed and mobile operators, are currently under pressure to supply unprecedented mobile network capacity as mobile data traffic surges and subscribers consume more and more traffic of all different kinds. As operators prepare for and launch 5G networks, they must scale 5G security and other infrastructure to meet these escalating requirements.

Service providers are on the front lines of this crisis – maintaining the lifeline communications that connect people and businesses to critical services and we applaud the industry efforts to support their subscribers and communities in this time.

As companies leverage a multi-cloud strategy to improve IT operations and provide better services to their customers, they can’t afford to overlook the implications for security. This is especially true with the emergence of a new paradigm to run multiple disparate compute environments for application delivery. In fact, while issues like creeping complexity, non-existent cross-platform visibility, and multiple vendor standards all compete for IT focus in a multi-cloud environment, enterprise leaders cite security as the top challenge of all.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – March 5, 2020 – A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) today announced the availability of its Domain Name System (DNS) over HTTPS (DoH) capability in the Thunder Convergent Firewall (CFW). This native capability enables service providers to offer DoH services to their subscribers. It helps organizations who run DNS infrastructure deliver higher DNS security by preventing interference and enabling user privacy protection through end-to-end encryption for DNS queries, without sacrificing the performance and latency needed for DNS infrastructure. DoH ensures deeper protection to subscribers against DNS-based attacks. This ultimately improves operational efficiencies for customers while enhancing security.

A10 Networks, with its Thunder SSLi® (SSL Insight) solution, has joined the McAfee SIA program, working seamlessly with McAfee’s Network Security Platform (NSP) in order to provide a complete, fool-proof security solution.

San Jose, Calif., Feb. 13, 2020 — A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN), today announced it has delivered the industry’s highest-performance virtual DDoS defense solution with its software version of the Thunder Threat Protection System (TPS) solution, vThunder TPS. The enhanced vThunder TPS provides 100 Gbps throughput in a single virtual appliance and can be expanded to 800 Gbps with eight-way clustering. As a result, service providers can build elastic DDoS defenses that can be incrementally scaled during wartime when peak capacity is required. vThunder TPS is compact and efficient, allowing it to be deployed in next-generation mobile edge compute (MEC) environments, conserving space and power while providing powerful DDoS protection.

The Need for Edge Computing

As the race to the cloud accelerates, both the benefits and the challenges of multi-cloud environments are becoming ever clearer. There is no question that multi-cloud deployments now play a foundational role in everything from internal business needs to digital transformation initiatives — but it’s also essential for IT to ensure effective visibility, governance, security, and control across both public and private clouds as multi-cloud deployments mature into standard IT and operational realms. Strategies are desperately needed to address these challenges. Adoption of a Polynimbus Secure Application Services blueprint can mitigate multi-cloud risk and operational challenges, including improving compliance, accuracy, and DevOps and SecOps needs, with reduced stress on IT personnel.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – December 11, 2019 – A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) today announced it is extending the capabilities of the Thunder® Convergent Firewall (CFW), part of the A10 Orion 5G Security Suite, to support the coming cloud-native 5G requirements. The new container-based carrier-class firewall delivers up to 180 Gbps throughput, one of the fastest in the industry. A10 is also releasing a new version of its Advanced Core Operating System® (ACOS) 5.1, which includes multiple 5G-ready updates. Thunder CFW running ACOS 5.1 brings all of the functionality, performance and scale of the existing physical and virtual appliances to the container firewall, helping to prepare service provider customers in their transition to cloud-native 5G infrastructures.
