This blog describes the characteristics of 5G network slicing. Network slicing is the killer app of 5G and is expected to present revenue opportunities for communications service providers (CSPs), while allowing enterprises to optimize services for customers via multiple isolated virtual networks. What Is Network...

In less than the time it takes to pour yourself a cup of coffee, a cyberattack will occur. According to a recent academic study, cyberattacks happen roughly every 39 seconds globally. That adds up to an unrelenting barrage of security incursions. For enterprises and their security operations (SecOps) teams, this boils...

With the growth in 5G standalone networks has come a data explosion unlike anything in previous generations. For example, a network with 10 million subscribers can be expected to generate roughly 9 petabytes of data every day. On its own, this deluge is a liability: expensive to move, store, and process. But buried...

What is DPI in 5G? DPI in 5G is an intelligent, cloud-native traffic analysis engine. Communications service providers (CSPs) typically implement DPI engines in the User Plane Function (UPF), which is part of the 5G core (5GC) network responsible for user data forwarding. How Does DPI Work? DPI uses sophisticated...

Digital transformation sounds simple in theory; in practice it’s anything but. Even organizations with ambitious resilience goals struggle to keep pace with rapid innovation while juggling the complexities of cloud services, vendor dependencies, and legacy systems. This often creates barriers that cause IT teams to...

Research shows that networks are becoming progressively more autonomous in an effort to support efficiency and adaptability for advanced use cases. To continue the journey to full autonomous operations within the dynamic 5G ecosystem and beyond, networks need better data sources. High-fidelity curated data can provide...

Have you tried to gain visibility into your cloud environment? What do you use? How effective is it? Do you feel as if you have end-through-end, enterprisewide observability that covers your cloud environment as well as your on-premises data center, headquarters, and remote offices? Are there gaps in the observability...

In today’s digital landscape, encrypted traffic is the norm—not the exception. While encryption such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 protects user privacy and data integrity, it also presents a growing challenge for security teams: How do you defend against threats hidden inside encrypted traffic without...

If you feel as if you’re living the information technology version of the movie “Groundhog Day,” you’re probably not alone.
