Security & Network Assurance Services
Helping you ensure that your end-to-end network connectivity and control applications are protected and secure.
Your telecommunications infrastructure is essential to your business. That's why, given today's high threat environment and fiercely competitive global marketplace, it's imperative to protect your network against accidental events or malicious acts. Yet achieving this is no simple task. We offer infrastructure planning services that take into consideration that many business applications and customer services utilize different network domains, use publicly available and interconnected communications services, and often require linkage with legacy systems and peering relationships with partners.
We'll help you build an integrated security architecture that factors in:
- Host-based and application security,
- Network filtering and firewalling,
- Intrusion detection and prevention,
- Secure tunnelling (e.g., IPsec) capabilities,
- Security management and
- Security training (to address gaps in your security coverage).
Our goal is to help you protect your:
- Shared networks - by increasing resistance to attacks that might partially or totally incapacitate them, and to prevent disclosure or modification of sensitive control information that might enable service-impacting attacks.
- Management applications - by protecting software that resides on common computing platforms either in the operations center or in the field. Protection of the applications is tied to protection of the platform and network, and security awareness by users and administrators.
- Information - by preserving the confidentiality and integrity of the sensitive control information traversing the network.
Security Services
Our services are backed by a team of professionals whose skills have been honed from years of experience and thousands of consulting engagements that have required designing, building, and maintaining critical security infrastructures.
Security Infrastructure Planning
In addition to mitigating security vulnerabilities and helping to assure continuity of critical services, Infrastructure Planning Services can:
- Increase operational efficiencies by exploiting increased network connectivity and bandwidth, as well as shared national databases of network resources
- Automate business processes through better integration of those processes
- Lower overall costs of operation through operational and performance improvements
Security Assessment and Planning
To identify vulnerabilities and threats facing your network, we benchmark your current security infrastructure, using criteria based on generic requirements and our extensive knowledge of industry best practices. In addition to the development of overall policies and procedures, our services range from review of your network architecture, business processes and physical environment, to vulnerability analysis, risk assessment and intrusion detection. We can conduct cyber exercises, which have proven valuable in validating security policies and procedures. In the area of planning, our services focus on analysis of security gaps, and the design of your security architecture and topology, providing definition of required security services, their interaction and placement in your network infrastructure.
Security Design and Deployment
Telcordia works with you to develop an integrated plan, and to evaluate technology options in consideration of your security and architectural requirements. We can further assist you in the review, recommendation and procurement of products, or in the development and review of RFPs.
In the deployment phase, our services include Implementation Planning and Program Management for systems developed or procured as part of the security architecture design. We also provide Systems Integration and Training services to assist you in deploying, integrating and managing your security solution.
Security Maintenance
To provide for the effective operation of your network in a changing threat, and business environment, we offer a set of services that involve continuous monitoring of the ongoing security and reliability of your network infrastructure. These services can include periodic testing of your component and network security, as well as implementation of a security alerting process to identify new vulnerabilities and associated counter measures. We can also provide secure configuration management and analysis of new components.
