Problem
Traditional network security solutions often struggle to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape, particularly distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and threats originating from IoT devices. Legacy scrubbing centers face scalability and cost challenges, while new network architectures like 5G and broadband access introduce additional attack surfaces.
Solution
EdgeHawk Security offers a cloud-native platform that leverages containerized detectors deployed on network routers to analyze traffic legitimacy and mitigate DDoS and IoT attacks in real-time. By utilizing spare CPU and memory resources on existing network infrastructure, EdgeHawk enhances network visibility and reduces the need for additional hardware appliances. The EdgeHawk Controller centrally manages detectors, providing security settings management, health monitoring, real-time attack insights, mitigation orchestration, and event reporting. This distributed architecture enables scalable and cost-effective security implementations, adapting to the dynamic nature of modern networks.
Target Audience
EdgeHawk's primary customers are Communication Service Providers (CSPs) seeking to enhance network security, improve visibility, and mitigate DDoS and IoT attacks across their infrastructure.
