Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) is launching its new Security Manager product to
automate protection of important assets across multiple ICT domains and to
detect threats, vulnerabilities, and risks leveraging real-time security
analytics.
5G, cloud and IoT are game-changers for the entire industry, and security is
integral to succeeding in these areas. Ericsson takes an overall approach to
bring a comprehensive portfolio of security services, products and solutions to
address an enormous need on the market. Ericsson has always had the approach to
deliver secure products and trusted infrastructure and also manages security for
customers within various industry segments.
With increasing security risks in critical network infrastructures and emerging
cloud technologies with shared capabilities, as well as increasing regulatory
requirements on privacy, data protection and security auditing, there is a
growing need for new approaches to manage security and privacy compliance.
Ericsson Security Manager brings to the market an innovative approach for real-
time, contextual security management leveraging its customizable, adaptive
policy engine, an enabler of cost-efficient, automated security operations. The
Ericsson Security Manager is part of the Ericsson Digital Support System to
support out-of-the-box security for cloud operations, enterprises, physical and
virtual networks and digital support solutions.
The Security Manager will be the tool to set and enforce security policies to
protect important assets by configuring security controls such as firewalls or
block chain solutions to achieve the desired security architecture and provide
predictive analytics to detect unwanted activity. The solution offers automated
security orchestration for cloud operations, enterprises, physical and virtual
networks and digital support solutions. It also provides the support for
automating compliance according to established standards and regulatory
requirements.
Anders Lindblad, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit IT & Cloud
Products, Ericsson, says: "In today's ICT landscape, security is of the utmost
importance for organizations across all domains. Ericsson Security Manager
leverages our leadership and expertise across a wide array of ICT domains to
bring to the market an innovative, adaptive and contextual security automation
solution for telecom networks as well as cloud, IoT and enterprises. It provides
the level of security that our customers across industries not only seek, but
fundamentally require for the integrity of their operations."
