Nominum's (News - Alert) Mobile Network and User Security Solution provides a one-stop security service for vulnerabilities in both networks and at user access points.
According to Cisco's (News
- Alert) Visual Networking Index, a total of more than 175 million laptops exchanged information on mobile networks in 2011. Each of those laptops produced 22-fold more traffic than a smartphone. Internet security breaches have caused as much as $1 trillion in damages, globally.
As smartphones, tablets and other mobile security devices become increasingly common; they also become an ever juicier target for hackers. Not only do users themselves represent a potential access point for malicious parties, but the networks themselves can become vulnerable to attacks as well.
Doug Miller is General Manager of Mobile Solutions for Nominum. He explains that Nominum's Mobile Network and User Security Solution offers something that never existed previously: "a complete mobile security solution" to all network and user-end vulnerabilities.
One of several advantages to Nominum's new security suite is that it does not require users to install of any exterior components outside of the mobile network. As Nominum develops new versions and new applications for their Mobile Security Solution, they can integrate automatically and seamlessly into the system.
The Mobile Network and User Security Solution protects the most important parts of your mobile network without restricting access to it to the authorized personnel at any time.
By securing the DNS data on your mobile network, Nomium's Solution prevents unauthorized parties (hackers) from taking user Web requests and redirecting them to malicious sites. Protecting the network from bots not only makes user experience more positive and convenient over all, but it also eliminates identity theft along with theft of crucial data. The security solution also guards against virus and fishing attacks that are typically directed at user handsets, tablets and laptops.
Based in Redwood City, California, Nominum represents the cutting edge of security technology and a variety of other DNS-based solutions, as well. At the moment, more than 500 million users benefit from their research and development.
