Oracle and its partner Druid Software have been selected to design, deploy and secure private 5G networks for NATO research, training exercises and cyber defense initiatives.
According to Oracle, the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence verified the company’s 5G Security Edge Protection Proxy as a trusted tool for securing roaming communications across allied networks following a successful pilot program.
The Security Edge Protection Proxy is part of Oracle’s 5G Core portfolio. It provides end-to-end confidentiality and integrity for interconnect messages to protect sensitive battlefield and research data. The technology is deployed on a Druid 5G Raemis core network via Oracle Roving Edge Devices, ensuring secure and seamless connectivity among NATO allies.
The solution includes GSMA-recommended firewall and encryption features that protect data in transit and at rest.
“Safeguarding mission-critical and sensitive information over communications networks is paramount to national and global security,” said Andrew Morawski, executive vice president and general manager of Oracle Regulated Industries. “By bolstering 5G data security across roaming networks, Oracle technologies will help NATO forces enhance data integrity and gain operational advantages in high-stakes scenario planning and testing.”
