Nokia launches Deepfield Genome Shield security automation system to deliver proactive, network-wide DDoS protection for the AI era

• Nokia Deepfield Genome Shield provides proactive, continuously updated, always-on network protection — moving beyond reactive approaches that cannot keep pace with modern, rapid multi-terabit DDoS attacks
• Solution is Nokia’s first dedicated AI-era security suite — protecting networks from AI-driven threats while delivering clean, continuously updated security telemetry that operator AI and ML systems increasingly rely on.
• Red Dot Technologies is among the first operators to deploy Genome Shield, addressing both inbound DDoS attacks and outbound threats from compromised subscriber devices within its network

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced the launch of Nokia Deepfield Genome Shield, the industry’s first security automation system that delivers proactive, always-on DDoS protection for telecommunications providers, hosting companies, internet exchange points, and cloud builders in the AI era. Genome Shield addresses the fundamental shift in DDoS threats driven by the emergence of residential proxy botnets, which now comprise approximately 200 million compromised devices worldwide.

The DDoS threat landscape has shifted over the past 12 months. Attacks now come from real subscriber devices, deliver multi-terabit bursts that last seconds to minutes, and rapidly rotate IPs across thousands of nodes. Residential proxy botnets — estimated at 250–600 Tbps - are used to dynamically leverage large numbers of residential users who are unaware their connections are used to generate evasive attacks impacting many national networks. Traditional scrubber-based diversion and reactive mitigation can’t respond quickly enough to these sub-minute attacks. Automated, AI-driven DDoS has industrialized the residential proxy supply chain used by botnets like Kimwolf, while AI-assisted code generation is accelerating the evolution of evasion techniques.

Nokia Deepfield Genome Shield introduces a new class of proactive, network-wide security automation that extends Deepfield Defender to address previously unaddressable use cases. The solution has been shaped through close engagement with customers and the wider security community as part of ongoing efforts to combat DDoS and botnet-driven threats. It shifts protection from reactive mitigation to proactive enforcement leveraging existing network infrastructure. Genome Shield aggregates continuously updated threat intelligence from multiple sources, including Nokia Deepfield Secure Genome (spanning over five billion internet endpoints), GDTA telemetry, and Deepfield’s cyber range, where live malware and botnet command-and-control (C2s) generate real-time insights. All of this intelligence is compiled in Deepfield Defender into automated DDoS policies and enforced as a security shield across the network.
