Carrier Security Software supports up to 400,000 network elements and 45,000 users

FAIRFAX, VA, USA AND LEATHERHEAD, UK February 21, 2014 – TEOCO, the leading provider of assurance, analytics and optimization solutions to communications service providers (CSPs), has today announced it has signed an agreement to install Secure Access at a major North American Tier 1 carrier.

Secure Access is TEOCO’s powerful carrier security solution verifying that only authorized users can access network resources. As its name implies, Secure Access operates as a critical secure centralized gateway between technical administrators and the carrier’s network elements.

Prior to the introduction of Secure Access, carriers had to maintain a number of different proprietary gateways in order to manage security on their networks. Not only was this extraordinarily cumbersome, but large numbers of network elements and users could not easily be supported.

“As carrier networks expand, the number of network elements grows exponentially, making it increasingly challenging, time-consuming and expensive to manage user access permissions,” says Jonjie Sena, VP Market Strategy at TEOCO.  “Unfortunately, recent headlines attest to the need to secure today’s massive, sophisticated environments and associated access rights, to protect from revenue loss and reduce operational expenses associated with improper access.”
