SaaS-Based Console for Multicloud Networking from F5 Simplifies Telco Cybersecurity Operations with Visibility across Hybrid and Multicloud Environments

API growth is driven by telcos' efforts to define and deliver innovative services, such as simplifying network complexity with APIs. Organizations such as CAMARA are pivotal in this evolution, working collaboratively to align and standardize API requirements and publish comprehensive API definitions.

The CAMARA project, of which F5 is a participating member, is an open-source endeavor under the Linux Foundation. Focused on defining, developing, and testing APIs, CAMARA's collaboration with the GSMA Operator Platform Group ensures that API requirements are not only aligned but also rigorously tested and standardized across mobile operators.

The urgency of this focus is underscored by:

• Recent, impactful data breaches within the telecom sector, which have predominantly been API-related attacks.
• The need for a centralized platform for managing security policies across various distributed environments, utilizing an end-to-end, cloud-based strategy.
• The benefits of a streamlined exclusion list, like a specific false positive or API reputation filter, which can easily be deployed consistently from a central console.

Adding F5's Secure MCN solution is an easy-to-implement SaaS-based tool for IT departments to confidently navigate the complexities of distributed environments with greater visibility and streamlined security operations, mitigating the risk of sensitive data loss, such as customers' personal identifiable information (PII). Also, multicloud deployments operate much more efficiently through purpose-built SMNS solutions designed to automate processes and, in turn, ease the building of multicloud connectivity.
