POST Luxembourg, the leading telecommunications provider in Luxembourg, has chosen Ericsson as its strategic security partner in a long-term agreement.
The agreement involves deploying the industry-leading Ericsson Security Manager (ESM) to enhance security automation and cyber defense across its mobile network infrastructure. This move underscores POST Luxembourg’s leadership in providing resilient, reliable, and secure mobile communication services for businesses, citizens, and all mission-critical sectors, including public safety, utilities, transportation and defense.
Today’s highly digitalized and interconnected world relies deeply on robust mobile networks for everything from public safety to commerce. These essential services face an unprecedented rise in targeted, sophisticated cyberattacks, both from cybercriminals intent on fraud and nation-state actors conducting espionage. Therefore, enhanced end-to-end security of mobile network is now a key priority.
Ericsson Security Manager is a purpose-built, automation-driven platform designed to provide holistic cyber defense for multi-vendor 5G mobile networks, addressing the unique and evolving risk landscape of telecommunications. Building on the successful integration of POST Luxembourg’s Threat Intrusion and Detection System (TIDS) in early 2024, the adoption of ESM marks a significant expansion of the collaboration between the two companies. ESM delivers continuous network visibility, advanced threat detection, automated security policy enforcement, and comprehensive protection against a broad range of telecom-specific threats.
As regulations tighten worldwide, such as the European Union’s upcoming NIS2 directive (Network and Information Systems Directive 2) requiring stringent security measures for 5G and critical infrastructure, POST Luxembourg is proactively fortifying its security leadership. By leveraging ESM’s automation, micro-perimeter protection, and telecom-specific detection capabilities, POST Luxembourg meets the most demanding security and compliance standards while protecting customer privacy and ensuring continuous service availability.
The joint efforts of POST Luxembourg and Ericsson exemplify a best-in-class approach to telecom cybersecurity for C-level executives, Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). As the mobile threat landscape evolves, this strategic partnership safeguards both critical infrastructure and the trust of subscribers, businesses, and society at large.
