JDSU Selects Mocana to Secure Popular TestPoint Family of Broadband Test Solutions
| Source: Mocana
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - November 16, 2009) - Mocana today announced that JDSU, the
leading provider of communications test and measurement solutions and
optical products for telecommunications service providers, cable operators,
and network equipment manufacturers, has selected Mocana to provide
embedded security and device integrity for the popular JDSU TestPoint
family of broadband test solutions.
JDSU TestPoint offers a flexible and cost-effective telecom and datacom
test solution for Production and Service Verification Testing (SVT). It
consists of a modular platform that provides versatility in configuring
interface types, transmission rates, protocols, and port density. A key
TestPoint attribute is support for multiple rates on single modules. The
platform also features and easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) and
simple automation interfaces. It is available in three chassis formats,
and provides 1/2/4/8/10G Fibre Channel (FC) support and Ethernet features
from 10Mb/s up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE). Transport protocol coverage
includes Synchronous Optical NETworking/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
(SONET/SDH) up to 39.813 Gb/s and Optical Transport Network (G.709) up to
43.018 Gb/s including overclocked rates.
After analyzing several security partners, JDSU selected Mocana and their
NanoSSH Advanced solution
because of Mocana's extremely small footprint, very high performance and
ease-of-implementation. Because NanoSSH is designed for portability (it's
already available for more than 30 operating systems and 70 CPU platforms),
JDSU has ultimate flexibility when expanding the TestPoint product line to
new hardware platforms.
NanoSSH is Mocana's super-fast, super-small SSH client/server solution with
support for X509.v3 Certificate based authentication and comes with RADIUS
client, specifically designed to speed product development while providing
best-in-class device security services for resource-constrained
environments. NanoSSH provides a holistic approach for securing networked
devices and services, and is ideally suited for resource-constrained
devices as well as high-traffic enterprise and federal environments where
performance is critical. NanoSSH is open-standards-based, extensible,
extremely small footprint, platform-agnostic and features an optional
government-certified FIPS 140-2 level-1-validated crypto core and NSA Suite
B cryptography. OEM developers can request a free trial of the NanoSSH
software at http://www.mocana.com/evaluate.html.
"Mocana's NanoSSH software helped accelerate our development cycle for
secure connectivity to the TestPoint product," said Guylain Barlow, Sr.
Product Line Manager in JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement business
segment. "Mocana's technology is the fastest, smallest SSH implementation
we've seen, and the quality of their code can't be beat. They really
understand device integrity, and the special challenges of securing
embedded platforms."
Mocana announced
general availability of the new 5.1 release of its Device Security
Framework™, which includes NanoSSH, this September. DSF is the
industry's most comprehensive suite of solutions designed to protect the
integrity of connected devices. More than 100 major OEM companies including
Cisco, Intel, General Electric, Honeywell, Motorola and Siemens rely on
Mocana's Framework to protect the networked non-PC devices they sell into
the consumer, medical, industrial, IT and military markets.
Developers can get a free evaluation copy of the new 5.1 release of NanoSSH
or any other component of the DSF at www.mocana.com/evaluate.html.
"JDSU's TestPoint solutions play a crucial role in the gigabit-Internet
infrastructure," said Adrian Turner, President and CEO of Mocana. "These
critical national infrastructure devices and the communications they
monitor and direct are increasingly coming under attack as hackers become
ever more sophisticated. We're proud to work with JDSU to help them layer
in security that's robust, transparent and won't degrade the performance of
TestPoint devices."
