Motorola Announces New Information Assurance Services to Mitigate Risk of
System Failure for IP-Based Voice Communications
Information Assurance Professional Assessment Service, Penetration Testing and
Security 101 Workshop help customers enhance security and ensure regulatory
compliance
DENVER, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced
the launch of three new Information Assurance (IA) Services: IA Professional
Assessment Service, Penetration Testing and Security 101 Workshop. Each of
these services is now available to government and public safety organizations
to assist in the protection of their networks through monitoring commercial
security updates and helping to lower their total cost of ownership through
increased efficiency and a reduction of maintenance costs.
"The need for information security and the reliability of security updates is
critical to public safety," said Tony Marshall, vice president, Motorola Sales
& Service. "These new services address the concerns that we are hearing from
our ASTRO® 25 customers and their need to remain compliant with standards like
the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and the Department of
Defense Information assurance Certification & Accreditation Process (DIACAP).
Additionally, we are able to help our customers properly mitigate risk and
reduce costs with these new services."
IA Professional Assessment Service
IA Professional Assessment Service helps customers understand Motorola's IA
enhancements, when to apply them and what risks and benefits can be achieved.
After performing a gap analysis on customer-identified compliance mandates,
Motorola can determine an actionable remediation plan for closure of these
gaps. After the assessment is completed, the Motorola Security Services team
presents an in-depth final report to ensure full understanding of the
findings, their impact to the organization's security, and the recommendations
for gap closure.
Penetration Testing
Compliance mandates may require a Penetration Test to help ensure that
networks and systems are operated in a secure manner. Conducted on-site at an
organization or from a remote location by a certified Motorola Security
Services expert, Penetration Testing can help identify where a network may be
unprotected, which could lead to the network being compromised by various
outside attack areas.
Security 101 Workshop
The Security 101 Workshop is a half-day, in-person workshop that educates
organizations on the fundamentals surrounding security best practices that
keep two-way radio and IP networks protected from malicious attackers. The
workshop includes an overview of the security features of the ASTRO 25 system
and provides the necessary resources to understand the impact security has on
an organization, and how they can help increase the security of their network.
