NetScreen Secures Wireless Telecommunication Providers' Networks
Nine of Top 10 Global Telecommunication Carriers' Use NetScreen Security
Solutions
SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NetScreen Technologies,
Inc. today announced that its network security solutions continue to be
selected by some of the largest telecommunication carriers worldwide. This is
evidenced by nine of Fortune Magazine's top 10 "Global Telecommunication"
carriers' selection of NetScreen solutions to secure their infrastructures
and/or end customers' mobile traffic.
NetScreen solutions, available with special features to protect wireless
carriers' infrastructures, including General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and
Universal Mobile Telephone Service (UMTS) networks, can meet the security needs
of global carriers by allowing inspection and policy enforcement for GPRS
Tunneling Protocol (GTP) traffic. NetScreen solutions also provide multiple
levels of access control and protection against malicious and wireless
network-specific attacks, such as Denial of Service and "overbilling" attacks,
in addition to enabling operators to offer value-added services, such as
corporate access, using GPRS/3G networks.
Many of today's largest and most well-respectedmobile operators, including 18
of Fortune's top 24 listed global telecommunication providers, in addition to
many regional providers, such as Hutchison 3G Australia and TELUS, recognize the
value of NetScreen's integrated firewall and virtual private network (VPN)
solutions to protect wireless infrastructures and their customers'
communications and corporate intranets, which are often vulnerable to a myriad
of attacks and threats.
Hutchison 3G Australia has deployed NetScreen-500 and -5400 systems to
successfully secure its wireless infrastructure.
"NetScreen's network security solutions have granular policy control, enabling
us to effectively secure our mobile infrastructure and corporate accounting and
billing networks without jeopardizing network performance. This allows us to
offer our customers a secure service," said Victa McClelland, Chief Technical
Officer at Hutchison 3G Australia.
TELUS, one of Canada's leading providers of data, Internet Protocol (IP), voice
and wireless communications services, also is using NetScreen solutions.
"In addition to providing excellent security functionality, NetScreen solutions
offer numerous deployment, management and resiliency features that can help
increase our productivity and minimize total cost of ownership," said Michael
Gelinas, vice president, TELUS Managed Infrastructure Solutions. "This allows us
to operate highly effective, reliable and reasonably priced security services
for our customers while maintaining a business advantage."
"NetScreen's adoption as a preferred vendor for leading mobile carriers
reinforces the growing demand for security within wireless networks," said David
Flynn, vice president of marketing at NetScreen. "By providing increased
security functionality that allows customers to more confidently leverage mobile
network services for critical business applications, NetScreen is enabling
world-class wireless carriers to provide a secure and cost-effective solution."
