Alcatel-Lucent introduced its Motive Security Guardian, a virtualized security solution for protecting service provider’s networks, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, and mobile and home devices.
The Motive Security Guardian can be used to alert IT departments, care agents and consumers to malware threats so they can be swiftly and proactively removed. When malware is found on a device, its owner is immediately alerted with step-by-step instructions on how to remove the threat.
The solution is powered by Motive Security Labs (formerly Kindsight Security Labs), which processes more than 120,000 new malware samples per day and maintains a library of over 30 million active samples. Residing on an operator’s cloud network, it can identify and pinpoint malware on mobile or home devices without having to be installed on them.
The Motive Security Guardian can be onboarded and managed using Alcatel-Lucent’s CloudBand 2.0 NFV platform and can be rapidly scaled up or down to meet market demand.
“Motive research shows that 65 percent of subscribers expect their service provider to protect their devices,” said Patrick Tan, General Manager of Network Intelligence, Alcatel-Lucent. “As customer experience becomes the new frontier for competitive differentiation, operators can leverage this trusted security service role to provide always-on and up-to date protection of their subscribers’ devices that ensures an excellent service experience.”
