The rapid expansion of 5G has led to a diverse threat surface threatening the availability and sustainability of desired low latency outcomes (virtual reality, IoT, 3D video, etc.). One of the newer threats is the attack from rogue IoT and UE (mobile phones, iPads and other 5G attached devices) devices. The resulting increase in bandwidth consumption and diverse flows increased the overall threat surface at the access layer which can potentially expose the entire network to a much larger DDoS attack. With the new Cisco Secure DDoS Edge Protection solution, service providers will now have an efficient DDoS detection and mitigation solution that can thwart the attacks right at the access layer. The solution focuses on 5G deployments, providing an efficient attack detection & mitigation solution for GTP traffic. This will help in preventing malicious traffic from penetrating deeper into the service provider’s network. (2:59) What are DDoS attacks, and how the solutions evolved? (8:38) Why is Cisco coming ou

With applications and users everywhere, the networks are now, more than ever, being tasked with delivering consistent protection while providing an exceptional user experience across multicloud environments (public, private, and hybrid cloud). The accelerated adoption of cloud-based applications and expanded remote workforce have also created significant challenges, including security and connectivity gaps, as well as unprecedented levels of network complexity that NetOps and SecOps teams could not have anticipated. Organizations are rethinking their networking and security strategies to meet the agenda of delivering a secure cloud-first and seamless hybrid work experience. Organizations now require a solution where networking and security functions are completely integrated into a single service. The solution – that intelligently and securely connects their users to the applications they need, regardless of where they are located. These organizations now turn to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to reduce

Your network works for you. Your network has all the data it needs to make it a better network. However, with people coming and going, your network environment becomes a living and breathing entity that is dynamic based on the number of users, the demand for bandwidth and other environmental changes that happen over time. If your network does not adjust to these changes, performance suffers for all devices including IoT and user devices. A solution is needed that continually monitors and optimizes the network to these changes providing the best operational efficiency. Tune in to this episode to learn how Cisco has optimized RRM, leveraging Artificial Intelligence to adaptively optimize your wireless network. As a part of Cisco DNA Center AI-Enhanced RRM uses historical data, AP density and other trends to provide the best wireless experience in a dynamic environment.

Counterfeiting hardware and software is an illegal and lucrative trade which leads to an estimated $100B loss of revenue annually across IT industries. As one of the largest and most reputable brands in the world, Cisco is often a target of counterfeiters.   For all end-users across Cisco’s ecosystem, counterfeiting presents serious risks to network quality, performance, safety, and reliability. It is dangerous because counterfeit products are not designed or built to meet the same safety standard certifications that genuine Cisco products attain.   The Cisco Brand Protection team partners closely with both law enforcement and customs officials around the world to stop counterfeit products at borders, identify counterfeiting operations, and pursue legal actions against infringers of Cisco’s intellectual property rights, including trademarks. Our goal is to actively support our partners and customers in protecting their investment in Cisco solutions. In this episode of Cisco Champion Radio we’ll talk a
