Vodafone Idea, one of India’s largest telco operators, has tapped Nokia NetGuard Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to strengthen network security against rising cyber threats and security vulnerabilities for its consumer and enterprise customers. NetGuard EDR, a telco-specific threat detection suite, will provide Vodafone Idea with real-time, automated monitoring to enable rapid detection and mitigation of endpoint-related security incidents. The deployment will initially cover Vodafone Idea’s 4G networks, and eventually the operator’s 5G network.
Jagbir Singh, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), at Vodafone Idea, said: “Vodafone Idea is fully committed to driving the next phase of network evolution, ensuring that our advanced solutions deliver both unmatched connectivity and security.”
Mathan Babu Kasilingam, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) & Data Privacy Officer, at Vodafone Idea, said: “Nokia NetGuard EDR is an important dimension to reinforcing our capabilities and protecting our entire subscriber base.” Arvind Khurana, India Market Leader, Cloud and Network Services at Nokia, said: “NetGuard EDR will deliver to Vodafone Idea the advanced threat detection and response capabilities they need to ensure proactive protection against ever-evolving and more sophisticated cyber threats.”
