Mu Dynamics (formerly known as Mu Security) is a private venture-funded company that makes hardware and software to test network services, allowing its users to quantify their product's or service's reliability, availability and security.
Products and services
Mu Dynamics' Service Analyzer is the current generation[1] of the original Security Analyzer. The Service Analyzer interacts with live services while observing them for any ill effects that can be correlated with a wide variety of traffic designed to cause faults. This process is intended to establish whether a service is reliable, available and secure. Network operators use[2] the highly automated Service Analyzer as part of a proactive service assurance process throughout the product deployment life cycle to establish reliability, availability and security metrics for next-generation network services such as VoIP, IPTV and IMS. Operators of other increasingly IP-based services, including SCADA or other industrial control systems also use the Service Analyzer.
Mu Dynamics in the industry
The company participates in numerous industry test events and consortia including:
- CableLabs
- IMS Forum
- ISA (viz., ISA99 WG4 and ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI))
- PCI DSS
- SANS Institute
- SIP Forum's "SIPit" SIP interoperability testing events
- Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA)
- Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
