Allot 5G NetProtect secures the 5G user plane from DDoS and bot attacks. It is a cloud native solution designed to meet requirements derived from 5G network scale, latency, and expanded threat landscape.

Allot 5G NetProtect employs a multi-layer threat prevention strategy that detects and blocks the latest and most evasive DDoS and botnet attacks the are initiated from within and from outside the network, assuring network Quality of Experience (QoE). It uses machine learning artificial intelligence to automatically detect and block zero-day attacks and is built upon an industry-leading inline network intelligence engine with field-proven, ultra-low latency, 5G-scale performance.

“We are very proud that this mobile operator has put their trust in Allot to protect their 5G network from both external and internal attacks.
