AT&T preps service to manage threats

摘要

AT&T is readying a threat-management service for its largest customers that is designed to aggregate security information from dozens of devices and platforms under one umbrella. Called Aurora, the system is linked to the carrier's IP network and promises to let customers more quickly react to threats because information is presented in a more coherent fashion, AT&T says. AT&T developed Aurora more than two years ago to process the huge amount of security data that its own global network produces. Now the carrier is preparing to make the system available to customers, with beta tests having been initiated at two sites last week.
