A new IBM survey shows that 85% of carriers plan on rolling out next-generation network architecture in the next five years. 87% believe that NGNs will fail without strong security to protect them. Only 46% of respondents say they have a strategy for protecting their NGN from attacks. Mobile device endpoint compromise poses the biggest threat to NGN security, followed by core IMS network compromise and IMS multimedia application threats, according to the survey. The survey was conducted among more than 65 telecom carriers worldwide by IBM Internet Security Systems.”]
