Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that it will collaborate with Cinia, a leading Finnish provider of critical connectivity and cybersecurity services, to deliver an advanced Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection solution. This collaboration creates a new Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) model, specifically designed to protect critical infrastructure networks against modern, complex cyber-attacks, ensuring the resilience and continuity of essential services. Through this MSSP model, Cinia will provide customers with a fully managed 24/7 DDoS protection service that leverages network-embedded detection and mitigation capabilities developed by Nokia.
As an operator of critical digital infrastructure in Finland, including international submarine cable systems, Cinia needs robust protection against evolving cyber threats. Nokia Deepfield Defender delivers AI-based, network-embedded DDoS detection and mitigation, allowing Cinia to protect essential connectivity services for Finnish customers and maintain a resilient infrastructure that supports the Finnish digital economy.
Joint development of the solution enables highly effective detection, mitigation and protection against DDoS attacks. The solution provides customers with comprehensive, up-to-date protection against the latest generation of DDoS threats, ensuring business continuity and service uptime. Nokia and Cinia’s joint expertise ensures improved network security and reliability in an ever-changing threat landscape, with a solution that delivers 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.
“Our partnership with Nokia allows us to offer the most advanced DDoS protection capabilities on the market to our customers. By leveraging Cinia’s Network Operation Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC) services and experience in 24/7 monitoring of critical environments, along with Nokia’s advanced technologies, we ensure our customers’ networks and Internet-facing services remain secure and reliable even as the threat landscape evolves. This partnership allows us to provide truly industry-leading protection and provide operational visibility to Finnish customers,” said Jukka-Pekka Lithovius, development director at Cinia.
“Working with Cinia underlines Nokia’s commitment to securing critical infrastructures globally and locally. By integrating our Deepfield and IP routing solutions with Cinia’s managed services, we enable powerful protection against cyber threats. This collaboration ensures vital mission-critical networks remain operational and secure, contributing to the stability and trust that are essential for a connected society,” said Jeff Smith, Vice President and General Manager of Nokia Deepfield.
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. Improved visibility enables faster identification of anomalies and more informed capacity planning decisions.
This collaboration underlines Nokia’s strategic focus on strengthening cybersecurity for critical national assets and demonstrates Cinia’s enhanced ability to deliver market-leading security services, backed by a trusted layer of local support and consultancy.
