JCI Acquires Arxceo
A vendor of Linux-based network security and intrusion detection devices has been acquired by a major Japanese MVNO. Japan Communications Incorporated says that Arxceo’s devices will help protect mobile VoIP phone users, including dual-mode handset users. Arxceo markets Linux-based SMB firewall appliances, as well as small, Linux-based firewall devices. The small devices are placed between wireless networks and corporate networks, and provide behavior-based intrusion detection and prevention, the company says.
