Nokia Deepfield Defender is software for detecting and mitigating DDoS attacks on IP networks.
What Nokia Deepfield Defender is
Nokia Deepfield Defender is software for detecting and mitigating DDoS attacks on IP networks. It correlates network telemetry, DNS, and BGP data with Nokia’s Deepfield Secure Genome to identify threats. Nokia says the Genome is updated hourly, tracks more than 5 billion IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and uses more than 100 machine-learning rules. Defender generates optimized mitigation strategies in seconds and can deploy them automatically. It can use Nokia FP4 or FP5 routers, work with third-party Cisco and Juniper routers, and orchestrate dedicated scrubbing systems such as Nokia’s 7750 Defender Mitigation System for advanced attacks. The Deepfield platform accepts data including xFlow, BGP, SNMP, DNSflow, RADIUS/AAA, IPFIX, and gRPC, as well as custom operational data. Nokia describes on-premises deployment and cloud-based software as a service. Its MSSP portal, multi-tenancy, APIs, and automated workflows support providers offering DDoS protection as a service. Nokia identifies service providers, cloud builders, IXPs, hosting providers, large digital enterprises, and financial institutions among its intended users. Pricing is not public; prospective customers are directed to contact sales.
