Nokia announced it is partnering with Cinia, a Finnish provider of critical connectivity and cybersecurity services, to deliver an advanced Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection solution. This collaboration establishes a new managed security service provider (MSSP) model, specifically designed to safeguard critical infrastructure networks against modern, complex cyberattacks, ensuring the resilience and continuity of essential services. Through this MSSP model, Cinia will offer customers a fully managed 24/7 DDoS protection service that leverages network-embedded detection and mitigation capabilities developed by Nokia.

Joint development of the solution enables highly effective detection, mitigation, and protection against DDoS attacks. The solution will provide customers with comprehensive, up-to-date defense against the latest generation of DDoS threats, ensuring business continuity and service uptime. The joint expertise of Nokia and Cinia provides a guarantee of improved network security and reliability in a constantly changing threat landscape, with a solution that offers real-time contextual awareness and network-wide protection against a wide range of threats, including botnet DDoS attacks, combined with Cinia?s deep understanding of critical infrastructure requirements.

The Deepfield solution provides Cinia with detailed visibility into its network infrastructure through advanced correlation and analysis of IP network and flow telemetry. The network-wide insight, which is correlated with a broader internet context obtained through Deepfield Genome, supports Cinia?s operational requirements for managing complex connectivity. Enhanced visibility enables faster anomaly identification and more informed capacity-planning decisions.

This collaboration highlights Nokia's strategic focus on strengthening cybersecurity for critical national assets and demonstrates Cinia?s enhanced capability to deliver market-leading security services, backed by a trusted layer of local support and consultancy.
