Gartner has named Ericsson the worldwide communications service provider (CSP) operational technology revenue leader

Gartner in its Market Share Analysis: Communications Service Provider Operational Technology, Worldwide, 2013 report, also places Ericsson as worldwide market share leader for CSP, which is a combination of carrier network infrastructure, telecom operations management systems (BSS, OSS and SDP) and network infrastructure services.

According to the report, which combines carrier network infrastructure and telecom operations management systems, and adds market shares for network infrastructure services, Ericsson software and software services revenues were ranked first in market share in 2013.

Ericsson’s agile software and software services enable CSPs to increase the performance of their business resources with customer-facing software and to plan, build, run and support the performance and availability of their networks and IT resources with network-facing software.

Commenting on the announcement, Per Borgklint, senior vice president and head of Ericsson’s Business Unit Support Solutions said: “We believe Gartner’s CSP operational technology analysis further validates our position in the market and commitment to providing customers with innovative, integrated solutions that lower their costs and increase revenues even as they bring complex new services to market.

“Ericsson is proud to be recognized following the significant work we’ve done to bolster our value proposition as a global OSS/BSS solution provider through strategic acquisitions and investments that have also strengthened our global consulting and system integrator exposure.”

Gartner’s CSP Operational Technology worldwide market share data report comprises all vendor solutions that are designed to specifically cater to the CSP vertical, including network and network services, as well as infrastructure and application software and services and corresponding services.

It excludes solutions that are not CSP-specific, even if sourced by CSPs, such as data center solutions and handsets.

Operators must become agile as they support services across networks, offer a range of plans and push the limits of innovation.

Ericsson helps customers meet changing demands with a comprehensive, unified OSS and BSS product suite that combines business, IT and network capabilities.

A team of more than 61,000 services professionals supports CSPs with consulting and systems integration services, managed services, product related services and broadcast and media services.

These services professionals have the end-to-end (e2e) competence required to efficiently integrate solutions, simplify and automate processes, and leverage real-time synergies and interactions between telecom, IT and network functions.

In this way, they deliver real-time services and customer insights.

Chinese “threat actors” have hacked Microsoft’s SharePoint document software servers and targeted the data of the businesses using it, the firm has said.

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

 

China state-backed Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon as well as China-based Storm-2603 were said to have “exploited vulnerabilities” in on-premises SharePoint servers, the kind used by firms, but not in its cloud-based service.

The US tech giant has released security updates in response and has advised all on-premises SharePoint server customers to install them.

“Investigations into other actors also using these exploits are still ongoing,” Microsoft said in a statement.

The firm said it had “high confidence” the hackers would continue to target systems which have not installed its security updates.

It added that it would update its website blog with more information as its investigation continues.

Microsoft said it had observed attacks in which hackers had sent a request to a SharePoint server “enabling the theft of the key material by threat actors”.

Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer at Mandiant Consulting firm, a division of Google Cloud, told reporter, it was “aware of several victims in several different sectors across a number of global geographies”.

Carmakal said it appeared that governments and businesses that use SharePoint on their sites were the primary target.

A number of adversaries who stole material encoded by cryptography were then able to regain ongoing access to the victims’ SharePoint data, he said.

“This was exploited in a very broad way, very opportunistically before a patch was made available. That’s why this is significant,” Carmakal said.

Carmakal said the “China-nexus actor” was deploying techniques similar to previous campaigns associated with Beijing.

Microsoft said Linen Typhoon had “focused on stealing intellectual property, primarily targeting organizations related to government, defence, strategic planning, and human rights” for 13 years.

It added that Violet Typhoon had been “dedicated to espionage”, primarily targeting former government and military staff, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, higher education, the media, the financial sector and the health sector in the US, Europe, and East Asia.

Meanwhile, Storm-2603 was “assessed with medium confidence to be a China-based threat actor”.
