The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards is an annual competition honouring individuals and companies that demonstrate excellence, innovation and leadership in information security.

Telco Systems received this award recognition for the second consecutive year for its NFV Cyberguard solution for protecting SDN and NFV networks against cyber security vulnerabilities.

“The SDN and NFV plans of the leading service providers around the world are gaining momentum. Most have already started deployments, while many others are in advanced stages of their technology investigations and PoCs. Along with this progress, the understanding of the security risks of SDN and NFV technologies have been recognised by many industry organisations, including ETSI and the Cloud Security Alliance, and are expressed in the architecture guidelines of most Tier 1 telcos,” commented Raanan Tzemach, Vice President of Product Management at Telco Systems. “We are very pleased to win this award for the second year in a row and to receive this important recognition for our unique approach for protecting SDN and NFV networks.”

NFV CyberGuard is a cyber security solution purposely designed to protect SDN and NFV infrastructures used by communications service providers. NFV Cyberguard mitigates the cyber security vulnerabilities caused by the fact that SDN and NFV networks are dynamic, software-based and designed to be remotely programmed and controlled with distributed architecture.
