China Mobile Group Jiangsu Ltd. has announced it will implement a security solution from Nokia Siemens that will protect the company from potential risks brought on by its increased use of IP networks and data services.
NSN says its solution ensures reliable telecommunications service, provides a secure data experience to customers and helps the operator realize new opportunities in its full-service operation area.
With customer demand for converged services increasing each day, IP networks are emerging as the preferred platform. However, traditional IT security solutions are insufficient to address the challenges that come with an all IP network, and this posed a significant challenge for operators, said the companies.
Nokia Siemens Networks says it worked closely with Jiangsu Mobile to understand and analyze its network security challenges and delivered a tailor-made solution which combines project management, network structure design, system integration, plus operation and maintenance.
In addition, NSN provided Jiangsu Mobile with a security evaluation tool based on international standards, which will help the operator measure the effectiveness of its security system, and evaluate the return on its security investment.
With improved network security, NSN claims end users will have access to higher-quality unbroken service with reduced risk of hacker attacks. Jiangsu Mobile will also benefit from increased network uptime, and reduced OPEX.
Steven Shaw, head of Service for Nokia Siemens Networks Greater China region said, “Our strong legacy in the telecom industry, our understanding of consumer access trends and our innovative services model helped us go beyond IT and IP layer security, to address security challenges across the communication network – thus enabling higher security, and better service.”
