Policy management originally emerged as a tool for fixed broadband operators to better manage network traffic, but in the past few years it has evolved into a way for mobile operators to better manage congestion from skyrocketing data usage on their 2G and 3G networks. New policy tools are enabling operators to manage congestion by influencing subscriber behavior and generate additional revenue from new services and capabilities. This webinar will share information from Infonetics policy management study to identify operators policy management requirements and look at some innovative use cases of operators deploying policy solutions.

Expected to launch later this year, the Hotspot 2.0 standard carries with it the promise of making Wi-Fi connectivity
seamless, automatic, secure and as easy as cellular. While this new standard is a work in progress, it is set to yield significant benefits for operators that are integrating Wi-Fi with fixed and mobile networks. This webinar examines carrier Wi-Fi growth and monetization models, and takes a deep look at Hotspot 2.0 and its advantages, including seamless Wi-Fi roaming, automatic network discovery and authentication, airlink security, and credential and network-selection policy provisioning for non-SIM devices.

An explosion of new devices, including smart phones, tablets, and video cameras, is flooding enterprise networks and challenging network managers. In many cases, this trend is being driven by the users, but in other cases its being steered by new IT initiatives. What's the bottom line? These devices, which are almost exclusively wireless, often require an upgrade to network infrastructure to sustain network connectivity and performanceand they also present new management and security considerations. This webinar will explore how device usage is evolving in the enterprise and what steps network managers need to take to prepare for a mobile-first world.

Nearly 40% of large enterprises recently surveyed by Infonetics have already had a significant mobile security threat event. The rise of BYOD (bring your own device), which is happening with or without ITs consent, is coinciding with massive increases in malicious mobile apps across the world. IT departments are tasked with securing both employee-owned and corporate mobile devices across a complex jumble of platforms, versions, carriers and operating systems, yet often lack the tools to control and manage them. This webinar presents new mobile device security solutions that provide a better user experience for employees, allowing them to be more productive, connected, and collaborative.

Security breaches are a regular occurrence even as thousands of security solutions flood the market. As the level of sophistication of these attacks increases, it becomes more difficult to identify and contain threats quickly. Designed to protect sensitive assets from advanced cyber threats, SIEM (security information and event management) systems make it possible for IT security vendors to discover and contain threats significantly faster thanks to a new class of DPI probes that provide application intelligence and metadata. This webinar provides an overview of the latest security threats, DPI techniques, and SIEM solutions.
