IoT Security Threats and the IoT Firewall
Richard Duncan, Senior Director - Systems Engineering for Service Provider at F5, talks about the security threats that come with IoT and how F5 can help service providers to manage them.
Datacenter
THREATS
With the advent of IoT, service provider core network elements and support infrastructure are more prone to outside threats than ever before.
- Application infrastructure attacks
- Service infrastructure attacks
- DDoS attacks
F5 SOLUTIONS
With F5 solutions, service providers gain a unified, multi-layer defense to protect the datacenter:
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
IoT Security
VoLTE and IMS Security
DDoS Mitigation
SIP Security
The F5 firewall solution with SIP ALG monitors SIP messages and only permits RTP streams when the SIP ALG validates the SIP control channel, providing security for user traffic in the network.
Diameter Security
F5 offers a strategic approach to security with a consolidated diameter signaling platform that optimizes the signaling network and protects against signaling security threats.
Network edge/GI LAN
THREATS
Moving resources to the network edge presents more opportunities for attackers.
- Service infrastructure attacks
- DDoS attacks

S/Gi Firewall
Carrier-Grade NAT
Roaming Interconnect
THREATS
IP-based LTE networks with a distributed and more open architecture are inherently more vulnerable to security threats that are increasing in both volume and diversity.
- Roaming infrastructure attacks
F5 SOLUTIONS
F5 offers a strategic approach to security with a consolidated Diameter signaling platform that optimizes the signaling network and protects against signaling security threats:
VoLTE and IMS Security
The BIG-IP platform helps ensure VoLTE service continuity and protects against unauthorized access, unexpected traffic peaks, signaling storms, session spoofing, and privacy attacks.
