Oracle collaborates with Druid Software on securing NATO 5G networks to provide high-performance, resilient and secure cyber defense communication to nations.

The NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) in Tallinn, Estonia, has chosen Oracle and its partner Druid Software to design, deploy, and secure private 5G networks to support NATO research, war gaming and development projects. Such networks will be essential in protecting key infrastructure and aiding high-performance connectivity during cyber defense drills.

After a pilot scheme was successfully conducted, CCDCOE has instated Oracle 5G Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) as a reliable 5G roaming communications security solution over the NATO participating networks. SEPP, a product of Oracle's 5G Core, provides end-to-end confidentiality and integrity for all interconnected roaming messages. SEPP software of Oracle was implemented on a Druid 5G "Raemis" core network with Oracle Roving Edge Devices, which boosted the secure transmission of data between allied forces.

Andrew Morawski, the head of Oracle Regulated Industries, explained that the technologies will aid NATO troops to secure mission data and to sustain operational leads. A business partner of Druid Software, Liam Kenny, emphasized that by integrating their Raemis solution with Oracle solutions,NATO will have strong roaming and network federation services that are secure.

The program will help Oracle identify its support for enhancing the cybersecurity of the operations of multinational defense forces and guarantee the provision of secure and resilient communications in high-stakes research and training settings for NATO.
