Nokia Deepfield Genome Shield, Nokia’s new DDoS protection system, enhances AI-era cybersecurity by delivering proactive, network-wide defense against distributed denial-of-service attacks.
Nokia announced the launch of Deepfield Genome Shield, a security automation system designed to protect modern internet infrastructure from evolving DDoS threats. The solution targets service providers, hosting companies, and internet exchange points worldwide.
The company developed Genome Shield to address rapid changes in attack methods driven by residential proxy botnets. These botnets have disrupted long-standing security assumptions and increased the complexity of DDoS defense strategies.
Nokia stated that traditional defense models struggle to keep up with real-time, large-scale attack patterns. The new system focuses on automated threat intelligence and continuous enforcement at network scale.
Genome Shield integrates multiple intelligence sources to improve detection and response accuracy. It leverages Nokia’s cyber range and Secure Genome, which monitors over 5 billion internet endpoints globally.
The platform automatically compiles and enforces security policies across entire networks. This approach reduces manual intervention and strengthens real-time protection against large-scale threats.
Jeff Smith, Vice-President and General Manager of Nokia Deepfield, said the threat landscape has fundamentally shifted over the past year. He highlighted the growing challenge of managing dynamic and massive IP threat feeds.
“The past year has fundamentally changed DDoS security. Residential proxy botnets have invalidated 25 years of assumptions about how attacks work and how to defend against them. The hard problem today is maintaining dynamic, massive IP threat feeds and enforcing protection against them in real time, at network scale, continuously and automatically. Genome Shield is the industry’s answer to that challenge. It combines several intelligence sources, including our unique cyber range and Secure Genome’s visibility into more than five billion internet endpoints, with automated policy compilation and enforcement across the entire network. For the more than 1,000 hosting companies, service providers, and internet exchange points that face this new generation of threats, Genome Shield delivers the commercial, scalable answer,” said Jeff Smith, Vice-President and General Manager of Nokia Deepfield.
The solution is designed for more than 1,000 hosting companies, service providers, and internet exchange points. It aims to deliver scalable protection against increasingly automated and distributed cyberattacks.
With Genome Shield, Nokia Deepfield expands its cybersecurity portfolio and strengthens its position in AI-driven network security automation.
