As CSPs look to take advantage of the elastic scalability that SDN and NFV offer, it is essential that they build security into these new network environments, to protect their infrastructure and subscriber data against threats. However, the inflexible ‘big iron’ physical security appliances that CSPs currently rely on lack the scalability needed for virtualized infrastructures. This acts as a brake on innovation and can lead to security gaps emerging. To help CSPs maximize the value of their SDN/NFV deployments, and capitalize on the new revenue opportunities they present, security must be integral to these virtualized functions. Clavister’s virtualized security solutions enable CSPs and operators to be more agile, growing their network in a seamless, elastic way with security at every point, while simultaneously enjoying significant ongoing cost savings
