 Securing pre-IMS and IMS Infrastructure

Services Revolution - Network Evolution
Wireless and wireline carriers are experiencing explosive revenue growth from IP (Internet Protocol)-based services such as broadband access, multimedia messaging, voice over IP (VoIP), video services and new blended multimedia services. Competitive pressures to retain customers, struggles for control of the value chain and the urgency to reduce capital and operating expenses are significant. To address these opportunities and challenges carriers are deploying IP-based networks and application service networks. Managing the risks associated with this network evolution is critical to business success.

Security Risks
Security, privacy and quality of service are critical to profitability, competitive advantage and service success. The evolution to IP-based networks and services radically change security requirements. Security threats are extremely damaging and inadequate protection will result in lost revenue, increased support costs, subscriber churn and poor adoption of new services.

Complex security risks exist at all points in the network from the Application Layer to the core IP Network Layer.

Application Network Layer
Applications such as VoIP in wireline networks or Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) in wireless networks are constantly under attack from an ever-evolving set of viruses, worms, spam and other threats intended to disrupt service which increases cost and reduces revenues. Learn more »

IP Network (Control & Transport) Layer
Network infrastructure equipment including routers, switches and soft switches under constant danger from DOS (denial-of-service) floods, worm intrusions, and spoofing attempts. IP infrastructure is expected to be as reliable as the traditional telephone network. Yet Crucial VoIP services that utilize infrastructure equipment such as SIP gateways are inherently vulnerable and subject to persistant attacks. Learn more »
