Xura to provide secure network signaling to Tier-1 mobile operator titan
August 2016 by Marc Jacob
Xura, Inc., a provider of digital communications and
security services, today announces that its Signaling Fraud Management solution
has been chosen by one of the world’s largest mobile network operators, for
real-time analysis and fully-active signaling filtering. Through a thorough
competitive tender (RFP) process, Xura’s solution was selected ahead of its
closest competitors for its technical superiority, clearly diminishing the
validity of one competitor’s claim to be “market leader”.
“Selection by a mobile operator of this pedigree is an excellent endorsement of
Xura’s solid capabilities to protect the operation of our customers’ networks,
and to secure the services delivered to subscribers,” said Glen Murray, Xura’s
Managing Director and SVP for EMEA.
The decision in favor of Xura is understood to be based on Xura’s ability to
demonstrate the power of its Signaling Fraud Management solution, in
conjunction with the depth of experience the company has in signaling. Xura
built and operates its own SS7 and Diameter signaling stacks, which are
deployed in mission-critical solutions for hundreds of operators serving more
than half the world’s subscribers.
“Having access to our own signaling stacks has enabled us to develop highly
flexible and fully-featured signaling security products,” commented Ilia
Abramov, Product Director for Xura’s Security Solutions. “Power and flexibility
continue to be an important differentiator, and Xura has a wealth of signaling
and security experience gained from exposure to signaling in hundreds of
networks. Our Security Management and Response Team can leverage the product
elasticity to ensure Xura’s customers have a tailored solution with the
advantages of faster reaction time to new signaling threats, and greater
protection of revenue-generating network operation.”
