Cybersecurity: Gal Ofel, Head of Software Solution Cybersecurity:Gal Ofel, Head of Software Solution Product Line Management, Telco Systems, 2/29/2016Here on The New IP, there is no need to declare "SDN and NFV enabled services will revolutionize the telco industry" or predict "SDN and NFV technologies are the future of networking." Even though we still see such headlines, as industry insiders and experts we all know this was established more than two years ago.The state of the market today is such that most Tier 1 and Tier 2 telcos in competitive markets have already formulated their SDN and NFV strategies. Many are in advanced stages of conducting some form of proof of concept (PoC) testing and have already deployed NFV on their core network. What we hear from the optimistic telcos is they expect to begin rolling out new virtualized IT services to their enterprise customers by the end of the year. The more cautious said they will need until sometime in 2017 to be ready to launch new services based on SDN and NFV technologies for vCPE and mobile edge computing. As a side note, what is interesting is that telcos in highly competitive markets are under more urgent pressure to begin generating revenue streams from new virtualized services, while telcos in less competitive markets are content to move forward at a slower pace.What we hear a lot of lately -- say the past three to six months -- are concerns from telcos over the security of SDN and NFV enabled networks. It has been well documented that SDN and NFV infrastructures offer telcos and other communications service providers the benefits of openness, remote programmability, agility, and similar advantages of IT-like networks. However, this similarity to IT networks that makes SDN and NFV networks advantageous for telcos also makes them vulnerable to the full range of cyber attacks that target IT networks. The discussion regarding these cybersecurity concerns is growing, although not much has been done about it yet.The feedback we are currently getting is that the concerns over the cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent to the use of SDN and NFV technologies, including exposure to hacking, malware and similar cyber attacks that existing telco networks are properly protected against, are occupying the attention of many telcos in advanced stages of their SDN and NFV plans.Here are four examples of these cybersecurity risks:• Both data plane and control plane management are now in software and not hardware-based microchips (application-specific integrated circuits or ASICs). This software is much more vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) and distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks.• The control and management planes of each device and each function are open for remote operations as well as user self-service. This creates a pinhole vulnerability that can be exploited and used as a venue to launch a cyber attack.• Once malware resides on the network inside the perimeter, it propagates easily across virtual machines and hosts as there is no mechanism to monitor it.• Each host has many VMs and each represents a pinhole for the attack and propagation of infectious items. Each VM is an entire virtual host with its operating system, software and drivers, including third-party software. Each component represents a threat, including open source and third-party software updates.Generally speaking, telco security professionals currently do not have to contend with these cybersecurity issues as telecom networks are traditionally closed infrastructures protected by readily available and mature security solutions.These vulnerabilities and exploits are real and certainly need to be addressed. However, with a standard industry approach or an acceptable solution that appropriately minimizes risks, these cybersecurity vulnerabilities associated with SDN and NFV will not prevent the adoption of these technologies and the services that they enable.The point of all this is that telcos and the industry are p

Telco Systems Wins Global Excellence Award Telco Systems Wins Global Excellence Award for Best Security Solution for TelecommunicationsMar 01, 2016MANSFIELD, MA, March 1, 2016 — Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative SDN & NFV, multi-service Carrier Ethernet 2.0 and MPLS edge solutions, today announced that the company has won the gold award in the category for Best Security Products and Solutions for Telecommunications at the Global Excellence Awards.Telco Systems received this award for its NFV CyberGuard solution for protecting new SDN and NFV networks used by telecommunications service providers from ongoing cybersecurity threats.The Global Excellence Awards recognize security and IT vendors with advanced, ground-breaking products and solutions that set the bar higher for others in all areas of security and technologies.“Telcos are excited about SDN and NFV and the ability of these technologies to improve network versatility, reduce operational costs and create new business opportunities. At the same time, the fact that SDN and NFV networks are software-based and designed to be controlled remotely create many inherent, IT-like security vulnerabilities, including exposure to hacking, malware and other cyberattacks,” explained Ariel Efrati, CEO of Telco Systems. “We are proud to receive this award and see it as confirmation of our strategy to help service providers securely fulfill the promises of SDN and NFV.”NFV CyberGuard is the first cyber-security solution designed specifically to protect SDN and NFV infrastructures used by telecommunications service providers. The solution consists of advanced networking probes, NFVI agents and a big data analytics engine. NFV CyberGuard can be deployed as a virtualized network function and provides complete visibility of the entire network, real-time analysis of network threats and the ability to apply cybersecurity policies to the entire infrastructure.To learn more about how Telco Systems is helping telcos remove the security vulnerabilities associated with SDN and NFV technologies and infrastructures, please download our new whitepaper on Protecting SDN and NFV Networks from Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities.Telco Systems will be exhibiting its NFV CyberGuard solution at the MPLS+SDN+NFV World event at Booth #310 during March 8-11. Gal Ofel, Head of Software Solutions PLM at Telco Systems, will also be presenting at this event on Protecting SDN and NFV Networks from Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in the Security Session of the NFV & Open Source Track on March 9.

No Santa rally for BATM Small amounts of selling lowering the price. No positive newsflow. I keep thinking it will take off then it just drifts down.Marom will need to explain the performance at the next AGM unless something dramatic happens.In any other company he would have been removed from his office log ago

JV... I was at the AGM and the key is that BVC has expertise in the production of the equipment and reagents. It appears that Gamida has the international networks of marketing and distribution in this market segment so it is logical to do this on a joint basis. I also have a friend who is an expert in this area of medicine and I am waiting for his response. If he comes back with anything I will report on it. In a wider context I wonder that as a result of being only in Telecoms that when the crunch came they were hit badly and so now they are a more diversified company where telecoms are only 44%. The other projects have considerable IP and that is what is valuable-that IP now has to be converted to sales and profits. The cyber component seems to be making progress at a time when it is a "hot" issue. And this can also be amalgamated into the telecoms environment. I actually like this wider approach and he has brought expertise in each of the key areas.

Diagnostics joint venture with Gamida group and cyber security contract extension Announcement this morning with mixed messages investment of $1m in a joint venture on the pharma business and a further extendsion on the cyber stuff.I was always worry about joint ventures i.e. who is in control how much more will be needed. JV's usually cost more than first thought and its a another classic Marom "jam tomorrow" deal.Why can't he start improving profitability and return money to the patient shareholders. The JV sounds like one of his personal altruistic endeavours. Shouldn't shareholders have had a chance to vote on it before he went ahead
