Key Takeaways
NOK expands Deepfield Defender across ESpanix's Madrid and Barcelona platforms.
The solution uses AI-powered analytics to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks within seconds.
The deployment supports data sovereignty by keeping Spanish traffic and security operations in-country.
Nokia Corporation (NOK - Free Report) has strengthened its network security business in Spain with ESpanix, the country’s largest Internet exchange point, by deploying the Deepfield Defender solution across Madrid and Barcelona platforms. The initiative expands the reach of the company’s distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection technology to more than 200 national and international networks connected to ESpanix.
Nokia’s network security technology combines artificial intelligence (AI)-powered network analytics with its Deepfield Secure Genome security intelligence to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks within seconds. It provides automated, network-based protection that removes malicious traffic while allowing legitimate data to continue flowing, helping networks respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
The company’s solution delivers security directly within network infrastructure. It enables ESpanix to mitigate attacks without redirecting traffic to external scrubbing centers, which helps keep Spanish Internet traffic and security operations within the country. This supports data-sovereignty objectives while helping to address growing European requirements for secure and resilient digital infrastructure.
The latest deployment expands Nokia’s existing relationship with ESpanix and demonstrates the scalability of the company’s Deepfield portfolio across multiple networks through a single Internet exchange platform.
