Telcordia Thought Leadership Highlighted at Department of Homeland Security Fifth Annual Security Conference

As IP networks continue to become more ubiquitous than ever, carrying sensitive and mission-critical information, there is an urgent need to assure IP network security, compliance and availability. Telcordia, a global leader in the development of IP, wireline and mobile telecommunication software and services, is leading the industry in meeting this need and recently participated in the Department of Homeland Security's Fifth Annual Security Conference & Workshop to discuss advancements in the field. Rajesh Talpade, chief scientist, Advanced Technology Solutions, Telcordia, presented during the S&T Emerging CyberSecurity Technologies track that was held at the event.

The session showcased several new security solutions funded by the Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology that aim to remediate federal and commercial cyber security vulnerabilities. Each session presenter had completed cyber security technology R&D projects and been selected for participation based upon the maturity of their technology solution, relevance to government needs, the apparent commercial viability of their approach, and their business leadership. These technology solutions represented cutting-edge innovations with the potential to improve the security of the nation's cyber-infrastructure, while also reducing the costs required to protect cyber assets from attacks.

The annual Security Conference aims to create a culture of security through communication, using a wide variety of informative and relevant lectures, sessions, and hands-on workshops and the opportunity to share information and best practices toward securing the homeland.

"In an age where IP network failures can grind worldwide communications to a halt, comprehensive and in-depth configuration analysis of IP networks is essential to detect and eliminate inevitable configuration errors before they are exploited by cyber attacks, discovered by auditors or cause a mission-critical application to fail," said Talpade. "Additionally, as IP network managers aim to maximize network uptime and maintain compliance with regulations such as the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), it is imperative that they have the best toolset at their disposal to achieve this goal."

In July 2008, Telcordia introduced Telcordia® IP Assure to transform the costly, labor-intensive job of network error detection and remediation into a simple, automated process while improving the security, regulatory compliance, and high availability of enterprise IP networks.
