“Increasing Use of 5G-Enabled Security Solutions”
The diameter edge agent (DEA) market is experiencing a significant trend towards 5G-enabled security solutions, driven by the rising adoption of 5G Standalone (SA) networks. DEAs are now incorporating advanced features such as Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) to safeguard Diameter signaling in 5G ecosystems. For instance, Deutsche Telekom's recent launch of Magenta Security Roaming highlights the integration of SEPP with DEA firewalls to create a secure connectivity ecosystem across protocols, including 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) and SA. This trend is fueled by the increasing complexity of signaling in hybrid networks that support 3G, 4G, and 5G technologies simultaneously. Moreover, as cyber threats targeting signaling protocols intensify, telecom providers are adopting end-to-end signaling security and leveraging DEAs to prevent vulnerabilities. The amalgamation of advanced security layers and 5G compatibility positions DEAs as a cornerstone in enhancing the efficiency and resilience of modern telecommunications networks.
