ECI Telecom Prepares Service Providers for Secure Convergence with Mocana’s Security Solution
Latest customer win validates Mocana’s leadership in providing security for telecommunications equipment manufacturers
SAN FRANCISCO – November 12, 2007 –Today Mocana, a software company that is enabling a secure networked society, announced that ECI Telecom, a global provider of networking infrastructure equipment, has selected Mocana’s Embedded SSH Server to secure its Hi-FOCuS™ Multi-Service Access Node (MSAN). ECI’s Hi-FOCuS provides carriers with an innovative approach for multi-dimensional convergence in the access space and provides access, aggregation, edge services and capabilities to leading carriers worldwide.
As service providers continue offering converged services, Mocana will play a key role in enabling network equipment manufacturers to maximize their support and delivery of these services to end customers by ensuring the security of that networking equipment and edge devices.
Mocana’s Embedded SSH Server provides a clean abstraction layer to ease integration and deployment, enabling the Hi-FOCuS Platform to merge the application layer, the control layer, and the transport layer. As security requirements become increasingly demanding for converged data services, Mocana’s solution enables ECI Telecom to easily integrate new security features into its platform without the need for an administrator to spend time and money installing or managing upgrades.
"Our evaluation of Mocana’s SSH Server clearly outlined how well the Mocana features uniquely complemented our own product set – one that can be positioned to grow with our business,” said Sari Rechav, Vice President for Research & Development for Broadband Access, Network Solutions Division, ECI Telecom. “As we look at our customers’ security challenges, Mocana’s solutions will allow us to meet the needs presented by the increased convergence we’re seeing at all levels of the network.”
Mocana’s SSH Server is a full featured, RFC compliant and portable embedded SSH solution that is compact and easy to use. It provides an open standards-based solution allowing secure command line console (CLI) management of any device over any network. The SSH Server is one component of Mocana’s Device Security Framework, which is made up of 10 embeddable components available individually or as a bundle that OEMs and providers of internet-based services can leverage to secure next generation devices and services. Extensible, suited to work with single and multi-core processors, and able to leverage hardware acceleration, Mocana’s Device Security Framework offers high levels of scalability and performance with an extremely small footprint.
“Our SSH Server delivers the ease of use and high performance capabilities a company like ECI Telecom depends on to quickly add the highest level of security to this new terrain of converged data,” said Adrian Turner, CEO of Mocana. “ECI Telecom’s choice to embed our industry-leading security solution underlines its commitment to customers to ensure that their device access is secured while still being appropriately managed.”
