SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A10
Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a leading provider of intelligent and
automated cybersecurity solutions, today announced a global system
integration and reseller partnership with NEC Corporation. The
partnership will include the integration of A10 security products and
technology into NEC 5G, Pre-5G and Network Functions Virtualization
(NFV) infrastructure systems.
As service providers plan to rapidly commercialize 5G
services, they need a consolidated security and networking solution
to seamlessly integrate with their existing solutions. This strategic
partnership between NEC, a leader in the integration of IT and network
technologies, and A10 Networks will allow service providers to achieve
the scale and security needed to meet the demands of 5G-infrastructure
rollouts. The partnership will provide protection from security
challenges for service providers brought on by distributed open
architecture, the massive influx of IoT devices, and external threats
from cyber criminals to carrier networks.
“We have a long-standing history of meeting customer needs and demands
through collaborating and partnering with NEC,” said Lee Chen, Founder
and CEO of A10 Networks. “With the move to 5G underway, service
providers across the globe are transforming their business. This means
huge growth opportunities and new routes to revenue, but 5G also brings
expanded security risks and service providers need to be focused on
finding ways to protect their business and customers.”
“We are very excited to expand our relationship with A10 Networks,” said
Shigeru Okuya, Senior Vice President at NEC Corporation. “We are always
looking to provide our customers with the industry’s best solutions and
