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 – 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.

With over 75 years experience in radio frequency communications and customers in more than 80 countries, Motorola has an in-depth knowledge of mission essential processes, services and solutions that are focused specifically on government and public safety customers.
