Overview:
Is the Achilles Heel of the core network your employees?

Subscriber demand for new services and applications presents new security challenges to operator and service providers’ OSS/BSS. How does a service provider provide immediate provisioning for new subscriber services while continuing to secure the network from data breaches? How does an operator and service provider create a scalable, security-aware network that provides wire line speed for new service subscriptions and still maintain a secure network?

Recent data security reports indicate that less than 20 percent of data breaches come from the inside while more than 40 percent are from partner links. This presents significant service provisioning management challenges to the service provider, as the network intruder may emerge from inside the company or from a trusted partner disguised with appropriate credentials.

Security in the service provider network must be intelligent enough to provide full visibility, adaptable to identify threats in real time, and scalable to manage the large amounts of subscriber data moving through the network – and, of course, without adding significant operating expense to the network management budget.

Join Mr. Martin Roesch, founder of Sourcefire and creator of SNORT, and Mr. Throop Wilder, Founder and Vice President of Crossbeam Systems, as they explore and discuss scalable, identity-aware networks and what this new technology means to service providers’ bottom lines.
