Cloud-delivered LTE and 5G wireless network edge offerings provider Cradlepoint has announced new AI functionality that it said will make 5G networks smarter, simpler, and more secure. In a release, it noted that it is the first enterprise 5G router vendor to adopt an AI model focused on cellular networking, featuring a security service acquired from Ericom.
The AI capabilities include:
- NetCloud AIOps Dashboard – Simplifies the ongoing operations of enterprise networks leveraging 5G SASE capabilities by aggregating learning into a single dashboard that identifies areas of performance degradation, isolates the cause of the issue, and pinpoints the affected sites, users and applications.
- AI-based NetCloud Assistant (ANA) – Uses natural language processing to assist NetCloud users with everyday queries about the operation of their network.
- Network Traffic Analysis – Provides centralized flow-level visibility for traffic analysis and forensics. Later this year it will also leverage AI to establish a baseline of normal traffic patterns for the most common 5G use cases (distributed IoT, vehicles, sites) and flag any anomalies indicating the signs of a breach.
- GenAI Data Loss Prevention – This solution applies access policies to block confidential data, personally identifiable information, or other sensitive data which can be potentially exposed in future responses from being submitted to the generative AI site. Ericom’s remote browser isolation technology also protects against weaponized responses infecting employee assets.
