Mavenir Collaboration with Three UK and Red Hat Doubles Glasgow 5G Speeds in UK-First Open RAN Small Cells Roll-Out

  • Mavenir Open vRAN and O–RAN compliant small cells central to success of Three UK’s Glasgow City Centre roll–out – boosting coverage and capacity across a high–demand, dense urban environment
  • Landmark trial demonstrates the benefit of deploying Open RAN small cells alongside existing macro networks to solve blackspot issues

GLASGOW, Scotland, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, the cloud–native network infrastructure provider, working in collaboration with operator Three UK and the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, Red Hat, has successfully demonstrated the performance benefits of 5G non–standalone O–RAN compliant small cells in Glasgow City Centre – doubling 5G speeds at peak times.

This milestone UK–first trial of Open RAN in a dense urban environment also marks the first live deployment of O–RAN compliant small cells working alongside legacy macro cells from traditional vendors in this environment – driving a significant reduction in traffic congestion by delivering high–quality coverage and additional capacity. During the initial phase of the trial, both 4G and 5G speeds doubled during the busiest times of the day, with Three UK’s 5G speeds reaching an impressive 520Mbps across the trial area. The capacity boost also cascaded into further performance and user experience improvements in surrounding sites.

Following the successful trial of 18 live sites in Glasgow City Centre, the project will now move into its final deployment phase, bringing the total number of Open RAN small cell sites to 34.

Mavenir’s roll–out of a small cell densification layer for Three UK is being delivered as part of the SCONDA (Small Cells O–RAN in Dense Areas) project – a key connectivity initiative backed by the UK government’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). The project represents a significant step forward for Open RAN in the UK by trialing – for the first time – the integration of a full decentralized Open RAN architecture with existing traditional infrastructure into a high traffic, high footfall city setting.

Mavenir is delivering a full 4G and 5G O–RAN solution, including its OpenBeam small cell radios running on Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes. Mavenir 4G and 5G small cell radios are being deployed on lamp posts across Glasgow to offload macro traffic and enable automation of network performance within a challenging multi–vendor, multi–technology radio environment. Three UK is leveraging Red Hat OpenShift to build and deliver the Open vRAN network, integrated into the existing 4G core of Three UK, and operating alongside the operator’s traditional RAN.

Brandon Larson, SVP, Cloud and AI at Mavenir, said: “This network densification project proves that the Open RAN layer built by Mavenir can efficiently and effectively meet the needs of Three UK and its customers in one of the busiest cities in the UK. Our solution has delivered a 2x improvement in 5G speeds, a measurable uplift in capacity, and handover of customer traffic has been outstanding. This powerfully demonstrates that Open RAN can be fully integrated alongside traditional vendors – a breakthrough that will get the attention of radio network design teams around the world for the cost savings and flexibility it offers.”

Iain Milligan, Chief Network Officer at Three UK said: “Mavenir and Red Hat have been exceptional partners on this groundbreaking project – the UK’s first Open RAN trial to tackle the real–world complexity of a dense urban environment. We have pushed the boundaries and proven that the Open RAN approach is a hugely valuable addition to network design and deployment.”

He added: “Urban deployments bring a different level of technical and operational challenge compared to rural environments. We’ve had to navigate integration with legacy systems, security layers, and evolving software – all while delivering measurable improvements for customers. The trial results are encouraging and provide a strong foundation for further scaling and optimisation of Open RAN in cities.”

Honoré LaBourdette, Vice President, Global Telco Ecosystem at Red Hat, said: “Red Hat and Mavenir share a commitment to delivering optimized Open RAN solutions for service providers to achieve improved network performance and unlock the next generation of 5G use cases. We are pleased to collaborate with Mavenir to implement an integrated 5G Standalone Open RAN solution, powered by Red Hat OpenShift, to help Three UK deliver enhanced customer experiences and streamline operations for the city of Glasgow.”

With this latest deployment, Mavenir and Red Hat are continuing to offer carrier–grade telco cloud solutions to mobile network operators, leveraging a decade of well–established collaboration. Mavenir RAN workloads on Red Hat OpenShift offer an attractive value proposition for the mobile network operators.

Key benefits delivered by Mavenir using Red Hat OpenShift include:

Picus Security annonce son référencement dans la catégorie validation de sécurité continue du Gartner® Market Guide

SAN FRANCISCO, 01 avr. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Picus Security, premier acteur de la validation de la sécurité, annonce ce jour avoir été référencé dans le Gartner® Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation comme « Representative Vendor » pour ses performances en validation de sécurité continue. Cette catégorie regroupe les technologies contribuant à la validation des vulnérabilités et à l’identification des techniques sur lesquelles se reposent les pirates pour les exploiter. Cette recherche aide les responsables de la sécurité et de la gestion des risques à prendre conscience des principaux cas de figure de la validation de sécurité continue et à mieux s’orienter sur le marché des solutions disponibles.

Cette tranche du marché regroupe la simulation de violations et d’attaques (ou BAS, de l’anglais breach and attack simulation), les tests de pénétration automatisés et les technologies de red teaming, trois catégories auparavant référencées distinctement dans le Gartner® Hype Cycle™ consacré aux opérations de sécurité. D’après Gartner, d’ici « 2027, 40 % des organisations auront formellement adopté des stratégies de validation de sécurité, et la plupart d’entre elles s’appuieront à la fois sur des technologies de validation continue et des prestataires proposant des services packagés pour une question de maturité et de cohérence. »

La plateforme de validation de sécurité développée par Picus permet aux organisations de simuler de réels scénarios d’attaque et intègre une validation automatisée et constante des risques exploitables tout en évaluant l’efficacité des contrôles de sécurité. En calquant les tactiques, techniques et procédures des pirates, les TTP, Picus aide les équipes de sécurité à identifier les vulnérabilités critiques, prioriser les solutions de remédiation et améliorer la situation de sécurité globale sans augmenter le niveau de compétence requis par les équipes en charge de la protection.

« Le flot de demandes d’analystes montre bien que les organisations veulent valider les expositions aux menaces au moyen de réels scénarios d’attaque en vue de justifier les investissements en sécurité et prioriser la réponse aux vulnérabilités », observe Volkan Ertürk, cofondateur et directeur technique de Picus Security. « Les organisations présentent un quota trop élevé de vulnérabilités déconnectées des contrôles de sécurité qu’elles effectuent, et de leur contexte. La plateforme Picus rassemble sous le même toit la priorisation et la validation des expositions reposant sur des preuves, réduisant ainsi les risques en lien avec les vulnérabilités critiques qui ne sont pas réellement exploitables, ceci dans le but de libérer les équipes de sécurité et les laisser se concentrer sur ce qui compte vraiment. » poursuit–il.

Il ressort les constats suivants de la revue effectuée par Picus du Gartner Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure :

  • Les solutions de validation de sécurité continue aident les organisations à renforcer leurs systèmes de défense, prioriser les vulnérabilités et optimiser leur maturité envers de réelles attaques.
  • Cette branche du cybermarché évolue rapidement, et regroupe des fournisseurs proposant des fonctionnalités à la fois spécialisées et complètes en réponse aux différentes exigences de la validation de la sécurité.
  • La technologie de validation continue simplifie le processus et place moins haut la barre des compétences requises pour les besoins des tests offensifs.
  • Les capacités d’intégration et d’automatisation au sein de ces solutions standardisent les opérations de sécurité, renforcent la collaboration inter–équipes et améliorent la précision et l’efficacité des tests de sécurité.

Picus Security gibt Anerkennung im Gartner® Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation bekannt

SAN FRANCISCO, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Picus Security, das führende Unternehmen für Sicherheitsvalidierung, gab heute bekannt, dass es im Leitfaden von Gartner® für die Expositionsvalidierung (Gartner® Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV)) als repräsentativer Anbieter benannt wurde. Die Kategorie AEV umfasst Technologien, die Schwachstellen validieren und Techniken identifizieren, die es Angreifern ermöglichen, eine Organisation auszunutzen. Die Studie hilft Führungskräften im Bereich Sicherheits– und Risikomanagement, die wichtigsten Anwendungsfälle der Validierung feindlicher Aussetzung nachzuvollziehen und sich auf dem Markt für AEV–Lösungen zurechtzufinden.

Das AEV–Marktsegment vereint die drei Kategorien Einbruchs– und Angriffssimulation (BAS – Breach and Attack Simulation), automatisierte Penetrationstests und Red Teaming, die zuvor im Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations voneinander getrennt waren. Gartner gibt an, dass bis 2027 40 % der Unternehmen formelle Initiativen zur Expositionsbewertung eingeführt haben werden, wobei die meisten sich auf AEV–Technologien und Managed–Service–Anbieter verlassen, um Reife und Konsistenz zu gewährleisten.

Die Sicherheitsvalidierungs–Plattform von Picus ermöglicht es Organisationen, reale Angriffsszenarien zu simulieren und bietet eine kontinuierliche, automatisierte Validierung ausnutzbarer Schwachstellen bei gleichzeitiger Bewertung der Wirksamkeit von Sicherheitskontrollen. Durch die Nachahmung gegnerischer Taktiken, Techniken und Verfahren (TTPs – Tactics, Techniques and Procedures) unterstützt Picus Sicherheitsteams bei der Identifizierung kritischer Schwachstellen, der Priorisierung von Abhilfemaßnahmen und der Verbesserung der allgemeinen Sicherheitslage, ohne dass die von Sicherheitsteams geforderten Fähigkeiten erhöht werden müssen.

„Die Flut an Anfragen von Analysten beweist, dass Organisationen die Gefährdung durch reale Angriffsszenarien validieren wollen, um Sicherheitsinvestitionen zu rechtfertigen und Schwachstellen zu priorisieren“, sagte Volkan Ertürk, Mitbegründer und CTO von Picus Security. „Organisationen haben zu viele Schwachstellen, die von ihren Sicherheitskontrollen und ihrem Kontext losgelöst sind. Die Plattform von Picus bietet auf einzigartige Weise eine evidenzbasierte Priorisierung und Validierung von Gefährdungen und minimiert das Risiko kritischer Schwachstellen, die nicht wirklich ausnutzbar sind, sodass sich Sicherheitsteams auf das Wesentliche konzentrieren können.“

Nach umfassender Überprüfung des Leitfadens von Gartner für die Expositionsvalidierung stellte Picus Security fest:

  • AEV–Lösungen helfen Organisationen, ihre Verteidigung zu stärken, Schwachstellen zu priorisieren und die Bereitschaft für reale Angriffe zu verbessern.
  • Der AEV–Markt entwickelt sich rasant weiter, wobei Anbieter sowohl spezialisierte als auch umfassende Fähigkeiten anbieten, um den unterschiedlichen Anforderungen an die Sicherheitsvalidierung gerecht zu werden.
  • Die AEV–Technologie reduziert die Komplexität und senkt die für offensive Tests erforderlichen Kompetenzbarrieren.
  • Die Integrations– und Automatisierungsfunktionen innerhalb der AEV–Lösungen optimieren Sicherheitsabläufe, verbessern die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Teams und erhöhen die Präzision und Effektivität von Sicherheitstests.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Picus Security, the leading security validation company, today announced that it has been named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV). The AEV category includes technology that validates vulnerabilities and identifies techniques that allow adversaries to exploit an organization. This research helps security and risk management leaders understand the key use cases of adversarial exposure validation and navigate the AEV solution market.

The AEV market category brings breach and attack simulation (BAS), automated penetration testing and red teaming technologies together, three categories that were previously separate in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Security Operations. Gartner states that by “2027, 40% of organizations will have adopted formal exposure validation initiatives, most relying on AEV technologies and managed service providers for maturity and consistency.”

The Picus Security Validation Platform enables organizations to simulate real–world attack scenarios, providing continuous, automated validation of exploitable exposures while assessing the effectiveness of security controls. By emulating adversarial tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), Picus assists security teams in identifying critical vulnerabilities, prioritizing remediation efforts and enhancing overall security posture without increasing the skill level required by security defense teams.

“The flood of analyst inquiries proves that organizations want to validate threat exposures through real–world attack scenarios to justify security investments and prioritize vulnerabilities,” said Picus Security co–founder and CTO Volkan Ertürk. “Organizations have too many vulnerabilities that are disconnected from their security controls and context. The Picus platform uniquely provides evidence–based exposure prioritization and validation, derisking critical vulnerabilities that are not truly exploitable, so security teams can focus on what matters the most.”

After a comprehensive review of the Gartner Market Guide for Adversarial Exposure Validation, Picus Security found:

  • AEV solutions help organizations strengthen defenses, prioritize vulnerabilities and improve readiness for real–world attacks.
  • The AEV market is rapidly evolving, with vendors offering both specialized and comprehensive capabilities to address diverse security validation needs.
  • AEV technology reduces complexity and lowers the skills barrier required for offensive testing.
  • Integration and automation capabilities within AEV solutions streamline security operations, enhance collaboration among teams and improve the precision and effectiveness of security testing.
