This further reinforces the trust in Wedge’s ability to help provide real-time threat prevention into some of the high target networks within the country and reflects the focused interest of many Vietnamese organizations in adopting some of the cutting-edge technologies on the market.  Through NTS, and Wedge’s growing distribution and resale network in the country, the Wedge Absolute Real-time Protection™ (WedgeARP™) platform, and the successful Wedge Advanced Malware Blocker™ (WedgeAMB™), has been deployed into a number of high profile customers, including several Vietnamese Government Ministry departments, the National Power Transmission and Energy Generation organizations, and select finance and insurance companies across the country.

The WedgeARP™ platform provides network-based, real-time threat protection for all types of endpoints in a wide range of networks (mobile data, 5G, SD-WAN, SASE, and smart-city/IIoT). With an embedded deep learning AI engine and patented real-time deep content inspection technology, WedgeARP™ can detect never-before-seen malware in milliseconds. Running on an orchestrated threat management platform, it is an effective and autonomous approach to enable large-scale real-time threat prevention.

“As shown by this latest win, Wedge is set to continue its success in the Vietnamese market; particularly with organizations that are providing critical infrastructure services,” stated Mr. Rob Fong, COO and CFO at Wedge Networks. “With our WedgeAMB™ product protecting an integral part of Vietnam’s energy production infrastructure, it shows the true value that real-time threat prevention has, especially in high value targets such as this hydro power generator.  We want to congratulate NTS on this win and look forward to more success with them in the future.”

5G-Enabled Road Safety and Cybersecurity Services for Connected and Automated Vehicles Research Paper Accepted by 2021 IEEE 93rd Vehicular Technology Conference

No Gravatar

Paper covers how Connected and Automated Vehicles will be protected from 5G malware and other threats, leading to much improved road safety

13 April 2021 – CALGARY, Canada and HELSINKI, Finland: The Celtic – Next 5G-Safe+ project recently had its research paper on “5G-Enabled Road Safety and Cybersecurity Services for Connected and Automated Vehicles” accepted for publication to be presented at the 2021 IEEE 93rd Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2021), to be held between 25-28 April, 2021 virtually and in Helsinki, Finland.  Co-Written by several organizations in Finland, including: VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., The Finnish Meteorological Institute, Vaisala Ltd. and Sitowise Ltd., along with Wedge Networks, Inc. of Canada, the 5G-SAFE+ consortium, the paper outlines a first pass analysis of the use cases and underlying architecture that will eventually be extended towards real pilots and testing in the future work of the consortium.

“Safety and support services running on top of 5G network infrastructures have a great opportunity to facilitate cooperative, connected and automated mobility (CCAM) for automotive and transport verticals in a variety of road conditions and operational environments.  As the rollouts of commercial 5G networks continue all over the world, the increasing coverage and continuously evolving capabilities of the technology make it an ideal connectivity platform for a variety of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications scenarios.  Critical network-based services enhancing the road traffic safety are able to exploit the ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) services offered by 5G.  Other non-critical support services can rely on enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and massive machine type communications (mMTC) services provided by 5G networks and facilitate the operation of the intelligent road transport systems as well as the comfort and wellbeing of the drivers and passengers.” – IEEE 5G-enabled safety and support services for cooperative, connected and automated mobility.

As cyber security lead for the 5G-SAFE-PLUS consortium, Wedge Networks has provided the WedgeARP™ real-time network security and threat prevention platform that will protect the data and control flows between the different components within the 5G-Enabled Road Safety network.  WedgeARP™ provides network-based, real-time threat prevention for all types of endpoints in a wide range of networks (mobile data, 5G, SD-WAN, SASE, enterprise and carrier networks, SDN, and smart-city/IIoT). With an embedded deep learning AI engine and patented real-time deep content inspection technology, WedgeARP™ can detect never-before-seen malware in milliseconds. Running on an orchestrated threat management platform, it is an effective and autonomous approach to enable large-scale real-time threat prevention.

“Wedge Networks is proud to be providing the cyber security platform on which the 5G-SAFE-PLUS project will be running,” stated Dr. Hongwen Zhang CEO & CTO of Wedge Networks. “The publishing of this paper by the consortium has allowed us to outline the various use cases that are being considered to enhance the safety of connected and automated vehicles that will run on the 5G network with the ultimate goal of zero traffic casualties by 2050.  The paper’s acceptance by VTC2021 for presentation at the conference goes to show the important work that is being carried out in this field of Vehicular Technology and further highlights the need for cyber security for protecting these systems from malware and other threats now and into the future.”

The paper will be published shortly and will be presented virtually, via video recording, at the 2021 IEEE 93rd Vehicular Technology Conference: VTC2021-Spring conference on April 25, 2021.
