Germany : Nokia opens mobile broadband security center in Berlin
Publish Date : 12-Dec-2014
Nokia today opens the doors of its Nokia Security Center in Berlin – an advanced mobile broadband security complex that combines a research laboratory and demo center with conference facilities. The Center is a hub of leading expertise focused on creating robust telco security. Equipped with its own fully-operational 4G/LTE test network, the Center provides a platform for cooperating with mobile network operators, partners, governments and academic institutes to develop and share security know-how and expertise.
Heavy increase in security challenges
Security threats are growing as networks become all-IP and heterogeneous with LTE and small cells as well as move to the cloud. Challenges are compounded by the rising number of smartphones in use and because mobile networks and their users are increasingly targeted by criminals.
The number of mobile malware items recently reached two million unique samples, double that of just six months earlier. For the first time, mobile malware growth exceeded that of malware targeted at PCs. Threats to mobile networks include eavesdropping, web session hijacking, software backdoors and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The Nokia Security Center will give an insight into this wide range of threats and help mobile operators protect their network infrastructure, services and users. Strong security attracts new customers, reduces churn and increases mobile operator revenues.
Nokia security expertise helps operators tackle threats
Nokia’s in-depth expertise and experience combined with the Center’s live network and facilities for comprehensive network testing from the core to the device will help tailor solutions for mobile operators. The full range of Nokia security solutions is implemented at the Nokia Security Center, including partner products from Check Point, F-Secure, Infoblox, Insta DefSec, Juniper Networks and Optenet.
