Vodafone Idea, one of India’s leading telecom operators, has announced the deployment of Nokia’s NetGuard Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) system to enhance network security for its consumer and enterprise customers. This strategic initiative aims to address the growing cyber threats and security vulnerabilities in the telecom sector. NetGuard EDR, a sophisticated threat detection suite, will be integrated into Vodafone Idea’s core network, providing real-time, automated monitoring. This will enable swift detection and mitigation of endpoint-related security incidents, thereby minimizing security gaps, reducing the need for extensive testing, and optimizing operational costs. The solution ensures continuous service availability and performance across the entire Operational Technology (OT) network.
Jagbir Singh, Chief Technology Officer at Vodafone Idea, emphasized the company’s commitment to network evolution. “Vodafone Idea is fully committed to driving the next phase of network evolution, ensuring that our advanced solutions deliver both unmatched connectivity and security. As we embrace this journey with Nokia, we are focused on building networks that are resilient and capable of supporting the ever-growing demands, including heightened security risks, of digital transformation,” Singh stated.
In Guwahati, the implementation of NetGuard EDR is expected to greatly enhance the security and reliability of telecom services. This is particularly crucial for the region’s expanding business sector, where secure and stable network connectivity is essential. The enhanced security measures will not only protect local enterprises from cyber threats but also foster a more robust digital infrastructure in Guwahati.
