e& UAE selects BroadForward for 5G and roaming security support

e& UAE, the main telecom unit of the e& group, has chosen BroadForward’s Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) to strengthen security for its 5G network and international roaming. Announced at MWC26, the deal focuses on protecting 5G signaling traffic as connections move between different operators and across borders.

SEPP sits at the edge of a 5G core network and checks, filters, and secures messages that pass between roaming partners. By using BroadForward’s technology, e& UAE aims to reduce exposure to signaling-based attacks, tighten control over partner connections, and support more secure 5G roaming services for subscribers and enterprise customers.
