Charting a safe path


to the future
Security is becoming one of the major business concerns for
telecommunications around the globe. In the past, security in
voice communication has not been a top priority.

By contrast, protecting data in IP-based networks such as

the Internet has been a concern since their introduction.

Nokia Siemens Networks is a leading global enabler of


communications services. The company provides a complete,
well-balanced product portfolio of mobile and fixed network
infrastructure solutions and addresses the growing demand for
services with 20,000 service professionals worldwide. Nokia
Siemens Networks has operations in some 150 countries. We are
headquartered in Espoo, Finland. www.nokiasiemensnetworks.com

How much money would


you loose if your network
was hacked, down for
three hours and your
customers could not make
calls? What would happen
to your image?

Though IP-based networks have been


tremendously successful, constant vigilance
is required to combat denial of service, hacker
attacks, viruses, worms and fraud. Now that voice
and data services are being delivered more and
more across IP-based communications networks,
systems need to be protected against new threats.
As a result, security is gaining greater
attention and a premium is now placed on risk
management. And for good reason experience
has shown that loopholes in security policies can
cost a company its revenue and tarnish its image.
Nokia Siemens Networks has earned a worldclass reputation as an expert in voice and data
network convergence. We also specialize in
providing security solutions for these networks.
A study conducted by the CERT Coordination
Center Pittsburgh has shown that effective
security management can preclude more than
95% of potential security hazards.
We can help you attain this level of security.
Take advantage of our extensive experience from
over 70 security projects globally, comprehensive
knowledge on billing/OSS and mediation domains
and our strong local presence.

Security process consulting


Our security consultants create an airtight security
concept to match your strategic business goals
and comply with international security standards
(BS7799, ISO 17799).
Our consultants address every security-related
issue, from formulating your companys security
policy to protecting your operating processes and
benchmarking your security management:
An Information Security Management System
(ISMS) based on a business risk approach, to
establish, implement, operate, monitor, review,
maintain and improve information security
Disaster Recovery Planning: defining and
documenting procedures and plans required
to minimize the impact of potentially
disastrous events
Business Continuity Management (BCM),
managing risks and ensuring that organizations
can continue operating to a minimum, predetermined level at all times. It comprises risk
reduction measures, lowering the impact prior
to an incident; and resumption planning, which
ensures an adequate response and recovery
after an event
Developing security policies in accordance
with corporate governance
Security services at network level
On the technical network level, each operator has
its own specific security solution requirements.
To identify them, an analysis of security threats
to the overall system is the first step to build up
a customized and optimized security solution.
These services include Risk Analysis to ISO/
IEC TR 13335 standard, Security Audit to the
provisions set by ISACA and NIST Publication
800.42 and Vulnerability Scanning.
Once your solution is conceptualized, our security
design delivers a detailed plan of necessary
safeguards, covering performance, capacity
and high availability, in line with your design
principles and an agreed security roadmap.
We scale protective and precautionary measures
according to your networks expected traffic load,
and chart its migration course according to your
new security concept. The focus of these efforts is
on ensuring maximum availability of your services
and rapid recovery from security incidents.

As security solutions require dedicated hardware


and software installation, configuration, testing,
acceptance and documentation for audit purposes
our implementation service handles the integration
of security mechanisms according to the plan.
Engineering diligence is a key element of our
customer-first focus. Our specialists will not hand
over a security solution to your staff until everything
runs to both their and your full satisfaction.
And to further ensure smooth operations in
the long-term, our 24 x 7 system surveillance
identifies security problems and frees you from
the burden of dedicating your resources whilst
ensuring your network has the round-the-clock
security it needs to make your company prosper.
Security training and certification
Security training and certifications, both at
process and product level, support your in-house
resources and complement the service offer. Our
training programs focus on security management
as well as the operation and maintenance of
specific security systems. Service engineers
and project managers can develop their security
management know-how. We offer training
sessions tailored to the individual requirements
of your network and workforce. You can, for
example, opt to obtain security certifications,
improve qualification levels or prepare your
security teams to master assigned tasks with
customized training programs.
