Auckland-based, London-listed intrusion detection and data analytics specialist Endace says it is running trials with two mobile telephone carriers -- one in Australia and one in the United States -- to address the growing risks of sabotage.
Endace head of Asia Pacific sales Neil Templeman said the Endace especially wanted to target government and telco sectors, stock exchanges and electronic traders.
Mr Templeman said at an electronics conference on Queensland's Gold Coast that there had been a strong uptake of its technology amongst telecommunications carriers to pre-empt and protect against capacity constraints.
They were now also looking at the company's solutions directed at securing mobile networks.
"There's plenty of evidence and research on how you would bring down a mobile tower," Mr Templeman told the Computer Reseller News magazine.
"For service providers such as Optus and Telstra, this would have a catastrophic impact."
He declined to name the two mobile carriers or the specific technology they were deploying to pre-empt any such threats.
Endace was developing training and information resources in a bid to build up its sales network in Australia: it had appointed Melbourne-based Newgen as its first Australian partner to help it exploit emerging business opportunities.
Endace is listed on London's alternative investment market and reported a little over $US38 million ($NZ48 million) in revenues for financial year ended March 2011.
