Damballa Provides Exceptional Subscriber Protection To Carriers with New CSP 2.0

Damballa, the experts in advanced threat protection, today announced the launch of Damballa CSP 2.0, which provides Communication Service Providers the features they need to ensure subscriber security and quality of service.

Subscribers are using an increasing number of Internet connected devices (5.7 devices per household in the US¹). While anti-virus provides basic protection, it is not 100% effective against the newest threats and cannot be used on smart devices for home automation and wearables, all of which are connected to the Internet. This presents Service Providers a strategic opportunity to provide security for their subscribers. Those who build security into their Internet service provide subscribers invaluable peace of mind, and extend the lifetime value of their subscribers.

Damballa's CSP (News - Alert) solution enables Service Providers to proactively notify subscribers when they are infected with malware, and can be packaged with other security products to increase ROI yield and create new revenue opportunities for prevention and remediation offers.

CSP 2.0 is designed to empower Service Providers to operate more efficiently and gain maximum business value for their subscriber security investments. Damballa CSP sits out-of-band and monitors DNS traffic, making it undetectable by threat actors and delivering zero impact to network performane. 'Light-weight' sensor monitors millions of subscribers, without monitoring any Personal Identification Information (PII). Benefits to Service Providers and their customers include:

• Automatically detects compromised subscriber IP address and terminates criminal communications
• Captures malicious queries and correlates findings to generate infection reports
• Integrates with SIEMS, other logging systems and remediation tools
• Delivers threat intelligence to security team
• Enables subscriber notification (email, in-browser, walled-gardens, etc.)
• Enables remediation

In addition, new interfaces and reporting functionality in CSP 2.0 make it easier than ever for IT security teams to understand the health of their subscriber network over time.
