Unparalleled Security of Home Network

In a recent global study of TR-069 ACS implementations, conducted by Check Point – a global leader of Internet Security, Check Point’s Malware and Vulnerability Research Group uncovered security flaws in the solutions of TR-069 device management vendors. It found that by gaining access to TR-069 ACS (servers), hackers or intelligent agencies could potentially compromise millions of routers and the home networks they serve.

 

Friendly Technologies and Check Point

Check Point Software Technologies ran a joint assessment of Friendly Technologies’ TR-069 Device Management software to evaluate and validate that the product, deployed by the company’s global Tier-1 customers, is secure. Although no major security flaws were found, Friendly Technologies introduced additional features to improve its products’ security level, per Check Point’s recommendations.
