Telco CyberTalk

In this episode, Allot's Product Marketing Director, Michael Schachter, is joined by Antje Rozinger, Director of Product Management @ Allot - to discuss the main challenges of small to medium businesses regarding cyber security.

First, we spotlight what or who exactly the SMBs are. The definition changes from one country to another when it comes to the number of employees in different industries. However, specific criteria remain the same across the board.

Then our specialists detail the unique requirement of SMBs for cyber security solutions because they are a relatively easy target for cyber-criminals, primarily due to the lack of workforce, budget, and at times required skills to develop proper cyber defenses for their businesses. We go down the rabbit hole to inquire what exactly are the default security settings SMBs turn to - but no surprise there that these security means need to be improved in scope and capabilities.

We sum it up with the route in which telecommunication providers can and at times, are asked to supply a complete security solution for their business clientele. Moreo

In this episode, Allot's Product Marketing Director, Michael Schachter, discusses 5G adoptation in North America with Vikram Singh - Cybersecurity Marketing Director @ Allot.

In this episode, Allot's Product Marketing Director, Michael Schachter, discusses QoE with Moti Goldshtein - Allot's AVP of Smart Products.

We all are familiar with the ever-growing traffic demand from the ever-growing variety of applications and web services, and we all are also end-users who appreciate high QoE - but this is a significant challenge for CSPs.

5G is happening, bringing new and exciting use cases like gigabit speeds to the UE, low latency, slicing, etc. However, 5G is being deployed gradually, alongside existing 4G deployments, in a variety of deployment strategies in the market, from "native" 5G SA deployments, 5G SA in parallel to existing 4G network, "dual mode" cores, 5G NSA, etc. Hence, we expect 4G to remain deployed for several years ahead, so we'll \ see "congestion hot spots" where 5G is not an option due to a lack of spectrum resources or due to coverage (indoor) and technical issues like DSS (dynamic Spectrum sharing).

Other delays could depend on commercial issues like the significant CAPEX/OPEX investment needed for nationwide 5G coverage, which spreads over a long period.

By using core-based SW solutions like those offered by Allot, the MNOs can add "virtual capacity" to their LTE cells and prolong their life expectancy with minimal to no impact on QoE hence freeing up CAPEX/OPEX to enable the MNO to focus their resources in 5G deployment, customer care, and added value services to their end-user.

Dan Bloom, Marketing Specialist @ Allot, and Niraj Gandhi, Cybersecurity Marketing Director @ Allot - discuss the threat and possible solution for harmful command & control servers.

Our experts unveil the risks and methods behind these C&C servers, as they are a threat to both private consumers as well as organization. 

So what might be the solution? Blocking these servers on the network itself.

In December 2022, Allot partnered with Coleman Parkes Research to talk to consumers, understand how they stay secure, and gain insights on churn and buying trends. 7,700 smartphone users from 7 countries were surveyed.

In this episode, Michael Schachter, Director of Product Marketing at Allot talks to Stephen Saw, Director at Coleman Parkes Research to highlight the main takeaways from this recent research:

1. Customers attach high value to having a pre-installed security solution.

2. The price customers are willing to pay for better security has increased for most markets and also the demand for pre-installed solutions.

3. The importance of security and willingness to switch CSP for better security has increased significantly amongst CSP customers since the last survey back in March 2022.

4. Customers are 6 times more likely to switch to a CSP with better security after a cyber-attack.

Are you going to MWC 2023 in Barcelona?
