For Carriers and Operators
Preemptively secure network devices, applications and partners
Major telecommunications and carrier organizations have implemented the DEFENSICS testing solution to reduce service outage risks, to extend in-house and outsourced developed application quality assurance, and to demand greater supplier and partner security-readiness.
Codenomicon is the preferred service provider security test solution for several reasons. First of all, the black box negative testing solution provides significant known and new threat identification without requiring application code expertise. This significantly extends test assurance capabilities with nominal resource impact. Therefore, second tier quality assurance, partner test services and security analysts can all use the system to facilitate the identification of robustness flaws and security flaws – before they become costly, after-the-fact issues.
Secondly, DEFENSICS coverage a broad spectrum of protocols and can even cover customer protocols – within a complete and documented test environment that can be immediately used for bug fix or fault notification purposes. Armed with detailed test flaw information, the most useful details can be easily shared by respective developers or vendors. Exact fix verification is a point and click away – saving time, effort and resources.
Lastly, DEFENSICS is an intuitive, software-based solution which enables more distributed use – allowing efficient testing at multiple sites by multiple users. The system can even be run on a laptop to support moving between labs or traveling to partners. Unlike alternative approaches, DEFENSICS offers all test configuration options in one easily understood screen – making product use more convenient and easier to describe to other test members.
The solution’s ease-of-use, flexible implementation, strong test documentation and immediate regression testing are critical requirements for carriers and operators given the varying number of test environments, the significant number of networked systems and partner applications, the extensive infrastructure and solutions which impact millions of network platform customers.
Furthermore, Codenomicon DEFENSICS can be used as a means for vendor / partner selection and as a means to test staged systems / infrastructure to determine security-readiness.
