SafeNet and RADVISION Partner to Secure IP Voice and Video Communications Within Next-Generation Mobile and Fixed Networks

Pre-Integrated Security Solution Saves Communication Device Manufacturers Valuable Time And Development Costs
Spring Voice On the Net 2008

SafeNet, Inc., a global leader in information security, and RADVISION, a leading provider of products and technologies for unified visual communications over IP and 3G networks, today announced their joint commitment to securing and enabling next-generation fixed and mobile IP communications. This partnership and resulting joint solution unites two historically separate technologies: IPsec security, a network level protocol, and SIP data management, an application level protocol, to save customers valuable time and development costs.

With the adoption of an IP-based infrastructure comes increased vulnerability to security threats. Attacks targeting signaling and billing data make IMS deployments susceptible to billing fraud, unauthorized use of services, and denial of service attacks. The pre-integrated, IPsec-protected IMS signaling solution provides device and equipment manufacturers within the telecom and networking industries with a complete set of tools for building next-generation mobile and fixed network capable applications including Voice and Video over IP (V2oIP), video share, multi-party gaming, video and audio conferencing, and content sharing.

“SafeNet and RADVISION bring complementary skills to the table. SafeNet is a market leader in delivering best-in-breed IPsec security solutions to the industry’s leading telecom and networking OEMs,” said Sagi Subocki, products manager, Technology Business Unit, RADVISION. “RADVISION is recognized at the industry’s leading provider of advanced software building blocks which support the development of standards-compliant products for emerging 3G and IP networks. This fit makes a compelling partnership, both for us and for our customers.”

RADVISION’s award-winning SIP Developer Suite is a powerful and highly versatile set of tools to dramatically accelerate fixed and mobile network application development. It includes a suite of Toolkits, Add-Ons and Testing Tools that enable developers to combine all the necessary components to create an ideal development environment for every device’s specific needs. Through the joint partnership, SafeNet’s industry-leading IPsec security toolkits will be pre-integrated with RADVISION’s SIP Developer Suite, including a specific solution for IMS-enabled network applications. SafeNet’s IPsec security solution will enable device and equipment manufacturers within the telecom and networking industries to protect signaling traffic – from the gateway to the end user equipment – for access, IWLAN, and inter-network communications.

“In the mobile industry specifically, the fast and affordable delivery of cutting-edge mobile applications including V2oIP are one of the few ways operators and service providers can differentiate themselves in a highly competitive environment,” said Simon Blake-Wilson, managing director, Embedded Security Solutions, SafeNet. “We are proud to partner with RADVISION to provide customers with a secure, fast, cost effective, and easy to integrate foundation for bringing these next-generation features and services to market.”

The companies’ pre-integrated solution for the IMS-enabled networks is fully compliant with IETF, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and TISPAN standards.

To learn more about the joint SafeNet-RADVISION solution visit us in booth 1127 at VON, taking place March 17-20 at the McEnrey Convention Center in San Jose, Calif. Additionally, on Wednesday April 9 at 1:00pm ET the companies will be hosting a joint webinar entitled IMS Security – How to Protect Signaling Communications Against Attack. The live event will address common vulnerabilities and the resulting need for security within the IMS, signaling between the user equipment and CSCF, existing IMS security requirements, and solutions for IMS security.
