level RBAC (role-based access control) to manage the network based on the roles and responsibilities
with full segmented security. Advanced solutions deliver complete segregation of control-plane, data-
plane, and management-plane for each of its tenants.
A solution with options for software and hardware-accelerated encryption and decryption capabilities that
provide faster processing and tamper-resistant key storage. The solutions should also support chaining
the services that are running on different nodes, including third-party service functions. All of these directly
tie into the 5G vision of providing unparalleled application and user performance without any compromise
in security.
A single pass parallel architecture for maximum performance and lowering latency. As seen above, 5G
comes with very aggressive SLA demands and organizations must change their current infrastructure to
meet these demands. In a traditional mobile architecture, there are silos of point and dedicated
appliances that have different functions. However, this type of fragmented architecture simply can't scale
in the new era of 5G.
A single pass architecture ensures that the majority of services are performed in the same cloud-service
stack, at the same location, and at the same time. This approach has the advantage of needing to decrypt
a data packet only once, which is important for optimal security. This is important because the
requirement to open, parse, re-encrypt and forward traffic happens only once. This also avoids
expensive, high-latency packet copying, and service inconsistency, therefore ensuring that 5G SLAs are
adhered to.
A solution with a single management interface to manage, configure and monitor complete 5G and SASE
services, such as Secure SD-WAN and the host of additional security services mentioned above.
For all organizations, security breaches, power outages, or any accidents resulting in down-time can be
extremely costly. Whether it’s a school, manufacturing facility, or a large global enterprise, ensuring a
rapid 5G rollout is crucial for agile IT and meeting the new networking and security requirements of users.
5G solutions built with automation capabilities such as zero-touch provisioning can help enable rapid
deployment.
