724 Solutions' XSAM Sentinel Enhances Subscriber Access to Content and Communications
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF., May 25 - 724 Solutions (TSX:SVN)
(Pink Sheets:SVNX), a leading provider of next-generation IP-based network and
data services, today announced it had strengthened its Sentinel offering with
two key reseller agreements with SurfControl for its content categorization
URL database and with Aristotle for its trusted "Integrity" age and identity
verification solution. 724's Sentinel offering now provides an end-to-end
solution that enables personalized management of access and consumption of
wireless services and content, and control over peer-to-peer communications of
SMS and MMS.
724's XSAM Sentinel allows mobile operators to create trusted
environments beyond the boundaries of their network giving subscribers a
choice on how to personalize and manage access to value added content or
communications; protecting minors from inappropriate content and enabling
verified subscribers to access their subscribed content. XSAM Sentinel
provides a comprehensive suite of network and application security functions
that include real-time age verification, dynamic and personalized policy
management, spending limits, real-time content optimization and filtering, and
URL categorization.
SurfControl Web Filter provides a URL categorization database queried in
real-time to identify the nature of the content enabling 724's Sentinel to
determine the suitability of the content for delivery based on policies
personalized by the end-user, account owner or mobile operator. "Providing
real-time classification of content gives mobile operators the confidence that
policies and subscriber preferences are enforced in the delivery of multimedia
content," said Rocco Donnino, Vice President of Worldwide OEM and Business
Development at SurfControl.
Aristotle's Integrity service is the leading international fraud
prevention, age and identity verification service that integrates with
government issued ID databases covering 153 nations. "Identity and age
verification are critical when offering a variety of premium multimedia
content and services," said John Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of
Aristotle. "Service providers are looking to create a trusted services
environment to securely and responsibly grow their premium content revenues."
"As unwired services expand deeper into our mobile lifestyle it is
becoming critical to provide tools that allow the subscribers to personalize
and manage access to new content, communication services and relationships
with others in their communities," said Michael Luna, Chief Technology Officer
of 724 Solutions. "Pulling together and integrating the best of breed elements
of a policy enforcement system, accelerates the time to market of new services
for our customers without risking the security or safety of their
subscribers."
724's XSAM Sentinel uniquely separates enforcement management and policy
management, which allows the solution to be deployed in many flexible
configurations that suit the service providers environment. The solution can
either be deployed as a centralized platform providing both enforcement and
the policy decision functions or partially distributed, defining rules
centrally and enforcing in multiple parts of the network, leveraging existing
assets performing similar functions (e.g. other enforcement platforms, WAP
gateway, SMSC and MMSC). The solution's powerful business logic is based on a
set of flexible activities, re-usable across workflows, which define the
policies used to enforce access to various premium services and the
communication channels being offered to subscribers.
