Clavister, a leader in high-performance network security, has launched its new GRX Security Gateway Solution to protects operators’ mobile networks from threats and attacks targeting the GPRS Roaming Exchange (GRX) network. The Clavister GRX Security solution is designed to protect MNOs against costly security incidents such as DoS attacks, privacy intrusions and overbilling attacks. Using a combination of encrypted IP Security (IPsec) VPN connections, deep packet inspection (DPI) technologies and behaviour based Intrusion Detection/Prevention (IPS), the Clavister solution secures GRX networks against evasive and sophisticated attacks that are hard to detect using legacy firewalls and commodity solutions.
According to Clavister, the technology used in the GRX Security Gateway Solution is extremely flexible and can also be used in a wide variety of applications for telecoms operators and MNOs. This includes its LTE Small Cell Gateway Security / LTE Edge Cloud Security, Intelligent Mobile Data Offloading (IMDO) and its LTE Backhaul Security Gateway (LTE SEG). Clavister added that iy is a member of the Intel® Network Builders program (networkbuilders.intel.com), a cross-industry initiative that enables telcos to build and manage business-critical infrastructures, with lower capital and operating costs.
Jim Carlsson, CEO of Clavister
MNOs are exposed to a number of vulnerabilities when interconnecting their networks. Our new solution enables operators to secure their networks and data traffic against unauthorised access, reducing the risk of attacks and ensuring the integrity of users’ data when they are roaming. This boosts trust, improves operational efficiency and in turn protects revenues. Clavister’s next-generation gateways give operators the best platform to meet demands for end-to-end, standards-based security and high performance at scale.
