As data services play an ever increasing role in telecommunications, networks and devices become increasingly susceptible to the kinds of threats and attacks that have previously only been associated with the IT industry.

Ericsson Security solutions support operators and service providers to protect their own infrastructure and services, as well as their customers and partners, from unsolicited content (spam), viruses and spyware, and intrusions and hacking, which not only limit revenue but damage reputations.

Ericsson Security solutions address:

• User security, providing security for private and enterprise users
• Network security, protecting telecom and IT infrastructure for operators and service providers.

The Ericsson approach is to address security at an early stage in a structured manner, from procedural, personnel, physical and technical points of view. In this way a secure, cost-effective security solution can be established and maintained to protect sensitive information and the network operator’s business.Further details of Ericsson’s Security solutions are available by expanding the fields in the Browse section below.

In today’s security-conscious market, security threats and attacks equate to more than lost revenue and expensive recovery operations – a damaged reputation will continue to impact business long after the problem is resolved.

Ericsson Security Solutions, which deliver a secure user experience and protect the network, and the applications and data it carries, are therefore a vital component in any business plan.

At the same time, they decrease the cost of customer care and operation by stopping malware spreading to user devices and network nodes, preventing attacks and viruses that could potentially impact network availability, and securing information to avoid fraud, further protecting revenue.

While the investment in security solutions protects business, it can also be used to generate business, either as a differentiator towards users or to partners who wish to use the network to distribute high-value content.
