PISCATAWAY, N.J., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Telcordia, a global leader in the development of IP, wireline, and mobile telecommunications software and services, today announced that it will showcase Telcordia® IP Assure and a Malicious Code Detection solution for the Homeland Security & Defense Business Council at its Aviation Security Technology Demonstration on May 27 at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. The Capitol Hill event will educate Members of Congress and their staff on the capabilities of technologies designed to protect, respond to, and/or recover from aviation security incidents.

IP Assure is flexible, scalable Web-based software that assesses configuration files of IP-based devices (e.g. routers, switches, firewalls) to determine if required security, availability and regulatory policies and best practices are correctly implemented. By proactively and non-intrusively eliminating 80 percent of the configuration errors, IP Assure significantly reduces the risk of a security breach, network outage or audit failure. It also reduces actual operational cost by transforming the laborintensive job of network error detection and remediation into a simple automated process.

The Malicious Code Detection (MCD) solution protects critical software systems from "malicious insiders," who can easily slip logic bombs, back doors and Trojan horses into those systems before they are deployed in the field.

"The implementation of IP Assure and Malicious Code Detection can significantly reduce outages and failures on critical infrastructure assets, such as networks that connect airports and other supporting networks," said Jim Payne, Senior Vice President and General Manager of National Security and Cyber Infrastructure, Telcordia. "As a leader in internationally scalable cyber security solutions, our technology has been deployed in support of large government agencies, service providers and enterprise networks, and we look forward to highlighting its capabilities for the U.S. security community as well as Members of Congress and their staff."
