Ericsson introduces industrialized data-centric security
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson is building a new business practice targeted at large multinational
enterprises, government, and critical infrastructure providers, leveraging
its global presence and partnership with Guardtime
* The new offering provides customers with a unique approach to cyber
security, using continuous and real-time verification of system, network,
and data integrity
* Ericsson's Data-Centric Security portfolio provides end-to-end security
based on Guardtime's KSI® blockchain technologies.
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has announced the introduction of an industrialized,
data-centric security offering based on its partnership with Estonian company,
Guardtime. The solutions will enhance trust in data and enterprise digital
assets, facilitate business continuity, secure industrial control systems, and
provide control and accountability for Internet of Things and machine-to-machine
applications in the Networked Society.
The offering provides customers with a unique, greatly scalable approach to
system integrity. Based on a global Ericsson infrastructure for generating and
verifying data signatures, the solution gives independent, mathematical proof of
time and integrity, as well as attribution of origin.
The industrialized Ericsson solution is capable of signing and verifying a vast
amount of data per second - as much data as currently exists in the world today
- with verification independent of key-stores, administrators, or trusted
parties.
Daniel Ehrenstråhle, Head of Strategy & Portfolio Management, Business Unit
Cloud and IP, Ericsson, says: "In the Networked Society, one of the most
valuable assets for business is data, both for running internal operations
efficiently and creating competitive advantage through superior market insights.
It is crucial for all businesses to be able to trust the integrity of their
systems, networks, and data when these are used in decision-making. The ability
to detect, withstand, respond to, and recover from attacks or security breaches
will need to become a cornerstone for all businesses in the Networked Society.
With the number of connected devices growing exponentially and an increasing
amount of machine-generated data, there is a need for scalable solutions that
can provide authentication, proof of tamper- and corruption-free operation."
The Data-Centric Security portfolio provides a global security infrastructure
based on Guardtime's KSI technology. It includes the following solutions:
Ericsson Cybersecurity, Ericsson Big Data Regulatory Compliance, Ericsson
Industrial Infrastructure Assurance, and Ericsson Internet of Things Security.
The solution comprises products and professional services for assessment,
design, and build, including the operation and maintenance of a security
operation center as a service.
