Fixed-Line, Cable, and Data Center Security Solutions
Digital transformation changes the data center security landscape and brings the need for shifts in investment.
Why Fixed-Line, Cable, and Data Center Security Matters
Your customers expect your services to be always available and always secure—and they will seek out another provider if their expectations aren’t met. This makes security crucial for all service providers, especially as the threat landscape evolves. Security should not be implemented as an afterthought. It needs to be built into the network, providing coverage end-to-end and from the ground up.
How F5 Can Help

Mitigating DDoS Attacks
Multi-tiered DDoS protection is vital
DDoS was the most common service provider attack for three years straight, representing 77% of all incidents in 2019.1 Get the protection that works best for your business based on where your applications are hosted—in the cloud, on-premises, or a mix of both—and how hands-on you want to be. Your solution can evolve over time as application infrastructure protection needs change. F5 offers a multi-layer (L3-L7) DDoS attack protection against all vectored attacks and stops DDoS attacks before they affect your business.
Silverline DDoS Protection
Fully managed cloud-based protection detects and mitigates large-scale, SSL/TLS, or app targeted attacks in real time.
F5 BIG-IP AFM DDoS Protection
Protects against attacks that consume network and app resources and can signal upstream to the cloud-scrubbing service.
F5 Advanced Web Application Firewall
Protects against Layer 7 app attacks that target CPU or memory and can signal upstream to the cloud-scrubbing service.
BIG-IP VE for SmartNICs
Increase DDoS absorption capacity by approximately 70x while observing significant TCO savings
Secure DNS Infrastructure
Security, speed, and scale while ensuring DNS delivery
F5 offers a hyperscale and secure DNS solution for service providers that enables faster web browsing and reduces latency. This improves subscribers’ user experience, leading to reduced churn and increased revenue. Visibility into DNS and applications means that their health, optimization, and protection can be maximized. F5 DNS Delivery secures and scales your infrastructure during high query volume and DNS DDoS attacks—making sure that your apps are highly available between multiple instances and across hybrid environments.

Improve performance and availability of your apps while scaling and securing your DNS infrastructure from DDoS attacks.
Secure Interfaces and Infrastructure
Prevent malicious attacks from getting into your network
Securing infrastructure is critical, allowing you to maintain control and visibility. F5 can prevent malicious attacks at container ingress by providing security services such as DDoS protection, firewall, and web application firewall (WAF) which can be applied at container ingress, preventing malicious traffic from entering the cluster and impacting your network. 60% of service providers consider applying consistent security policies across all apps to be their biggest challenge; F5’s Gi-LAN solution provides a single platform to manage traffic, security, and application services.
