Enhanced Enterprise Security Solutions Deliver Nortel
Vision of Trusted Communications
New Products, Partners Provide Secure Access Anywhere, Anytime on Any
Device
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT] has enhanced its portfolio of
security solutions by introducing new remote access security solutions and
threat protection capabilities designed to improve access security for remote
workers and to instantly detect and shut down threats from anywhere within a
customer’s network.
These solutions are part of Nortel’s continuing drive to deliver on its vision to
secure and protect the world’s most critical information by providing reliable
and secure trusted communications capabilities for voice, data, multimedia
and video across multiple devices.
Customers around the globe are already realizing the benefits of Nortel’s
approach to reliable and secure, trusted communications. These include BT
Retail in the UK; National Air Traffic Services, the UK's leading air traffic
services company; Coca Cola Icecek of Turkey; Spanish financial institution
Caixa Catalunya; and in the United States, Coppin State University,
Baltimore, Md.; ProMedica Health System, Toledo, Ohio; and St. Luke’s
Hospital & Health Network in Pennsylvania.
Nortel has also introduced a Developer Program for Security targeted at
simplifying customer deployments by bringing together industry-leading
security vendors with solutions tailored to provide comprehensive network
security on a Nortel-based infrastructure. The program will support customers
with cooperation from security companies such as Sygate Technologies, Inc.

and Concord Communications Inc. and complements existing security
relationships with Check Point Software Ltd., Sourcefire and Symantec. Nortel
also announced today an alliance with Symantec focused on providing next-
generation network security capabilities to enterprises and service providers.
"Enterprises require network solutions to protect their infrastructure not only
from end-users that may inadvertently compromise security from remote-
access based threats but also from threats carried in the network that require
immediate isolation and containment,” said Zeus Kerravala, vice president,
enterprise infrastructure, The Yankee Group.
“By addressing both aspects in tandem, companies can avail themselves of
the most comprehensive measures to protect the entire infrastructure,
whether in a hosted, managed model from service providers or whether they
deploy their own networks,” Kerravala said. “Without addressing threats from
internal and external sources, regardless of whether those threats are
malicious or accidental, enterprises risk adopting a security posture based on
false assumptions that effectively lock the front door while leaving the back
door wide open."
“Nortel recognizes that the network is constantly evolving, and maintaining a
strong defense is complex and often costly,” said Malcolm Collins, president,
Enterprise Networks, Nortel. “Our enhanced security portfolio is a key
component of our Virtual Enterprise vision, where any worker can access
networks remotely as safely and securely as if they were sitting at their desks
in an office.”
“Achieving that vision requires deploying a layered defense consisting of
secure remote access, network perimeter security, and end-point security to
protect enterprises from security threats,” Collins said. “To this end, Nortel is
working closely with its channel partners and other leading vendors in the
security market to build a coalition that ensures we are offering our customers
the best security solution that meets all of their needs for reliable and secure
trusted communications.”
Secure and Flexible Universal Remote Access is at the heart of the
enhancement of Nortel’s VPN (Virtual Private Network) Gateway 3070, a new
high-end SSL and IPSec VPN platform designed for large enterprise and
managed VPN service provider deployments. In addition, Nortel is integrating
IPSec VPN functionality into the VPN Gateway 3050 platform.
Coca-Cola Icecek (CCI), the authorised bottling partner of the Coca-Cola
Company in Turkey, has successfully deployed Nortel VPN Router (formerly
known as Contivity* Secure IP Services Gateway) to provide the routing,
VPN, firewall, bandwidth management, encryption, authentication and data
integrity for secure connectivity for CCI’s 90 dealers across Turkey.

“The Nortel VPN Router connects CCI offices, dealers and mobile users over
the Internet with the same security and control found in private networks,”
said İhsan Ercan, group manager, CCI Business Systems Group. “The Nortel
VPN Router offers our remote users the ability to transfer the working
environment of their offices to the location where they are working, allowing
them to rapidly access all their related data and applications over a secure
network and giving them access to key sales information, resulting in higher
employee productivity and increased employee satisfaction.”
"The flexibility of having both IPsec and SSL VPN capabilities on a common
platform is not only convenient, but it is an absolute requirement to support
our mixed user population, various locations and wide range of application
access requirements,” said Matthew M. Woodruff, system engineer, St.
Luke’s Hospital & Health Network. “Our doctors and healthcare staff are able
to get secure remote access to critical patient information regardless of how
or where they access the hospital network. This ability to rapidly share
knowledge, securely, in real-time helps St. Luke's improve patient care, meet
regulatory security requirements, and lower the cost and complexity of
providing remote access. The result is our ability to offer world-class
healthcare without compromise."
Enhanced Proactive Network Infrastructure Security is the key
capability of the new Nortel Threat Protection System. The Nortel Threat
Protection System combines world-class capabilities for detecting threats to
the network and quickly adapts to eliminate them, allowing customers to shut
down suspicious activity from anywhere within their network. In addition,
working with CheckPoint, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 (formerly
known as the Passport* 8600) now includes a Service Delivery Module for
distributing resilient firewall capabilities as needed throughout the network.
"Security is of critical importance to Coppin State,” said Ahmed El-Haggan,
vice president of information technology, chief information officer and
professor of computer science at Coppin State University. “Computer virus
and worm problems can cause unnecessary expense and disruption.”
“With the Nortel Threat Protection System, we have easily detected known
and zero-day threats to avoid the associated problems they cause,” El-
Haggan said. “In addition, we have an extra layer of protection that helps us
to detect and block attacks before our students, faculty, or staff are impacted.
Nortel’s layered defense strategy has helped us build a trusted network at
Coppin.”
The solution is augmented with Nortel Application Switch (formerly known as
Alteon* Application Switch) Intelligent Traffic Management (ITM), which
continuously monitors network traffic for known threat signatures. Should
such signatures, like those for worms or viruses, be matched, the application

Nortel Networks: Enhanced Enterprise Security Solutions Deliver Nortel Vision of Trusted Communications
switch can immediately isolate that traffic and remove it from the network.
Through a partnership with Concord Communications, the ITM solution also
includes enhanced statistics gathering and reporting capabilities made
possible via Concord Communications’ eHealth Lite.
"It’s vital that our healthcare practitioners and administrative staff have access
to Internet resources that enhance hospital operations and patient care, but
we needed to be sure those legitimate uses were not crowded out by
recreational uses or security attacks,” said Bruce Meyer, senior network
engineer, ProMedica Health System. “Intelligent Application Traffic
Management on our Nortel Application Switches gives us the visibility and
control we need to manage Internet traffic for optimum user experience and
bandwidth efficiency,”
Enhanced Endpoint Security is made possible with improved Nortel
VPN Tunnel Guard for SSL VPNs. Nortel has continued its leadership position
as first to deliver VPN remote access security policy enforcement by
extending support to SSL VPN remote access as well as IPSec VPNs. VPN
Tunnel Guard provides a comprehensive security solution capable of
enforcing security policies on all VPN endpoints, allowing administrators to
define endpoint security policies on Nortel VPN gateways and ensure all
users or devices connecting to the VPN gateway are inspected for
compliance.
Users can be denied access or have access restricted based on their security
status, thus preventing the end-user PC from becoming a vehicle for viruses
or other unwanted intrusions into the secure enterprise network through the
VPN tunnel. Tunnel Guard allows end-users to receive automatic updates to
ensure that every device connecting to the network is compliant with current
security policies, including antivirus, patch and other subscription-styled
update releases.
In addition, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 (formerly known as
Passport 8300) offers an enhanced authentication capability enabled with
Extensible Authentication Protocol, which allows multiple means of end-user
authentication, including passwords, token-based challenge and response as
well as Public Key Infrastructure certificate exchange.
The Security Expert Advantage Program, a North American
initiative, is part of Nortel’s award-winning Partner Advantage enterprise
channel program that trains and accredits reseller partners in Nortel’s security
solutions. For participants, accreditation under the program establishes
competitive advantage from a price, competency, awareness, and support
perspective.
”Nortel provides the specialized security training and support necessary to
ensure customers receive the most effective security implementations,” said

Bart Graf, principal, Integration Partners Incorporated. “Customers that want a
real security solution know that they can trust us to implement and support it.”
The EMEA Nortel Partner Program helps channel partners in Europe,
the Middle East and Africa to adapt to the changing marketplace by building
brand equity, and by positioning them to deliver end-to-end converged
networking solutions and services. Nortel has introduced enhanced
designations within the Program for those partners excelling in technical
capability and promoting early adoption of technology – Innovator, Global
Customer Leader and Convergence Leader. As a Security Innovator Partner,
resellers offer high quality security solutions during the early phases of Nortel
new product rollout to help promote the early adoption of new technology into
the marketplace. Recently, Applinet was appointed Security Innovator Partner
in the UK.
"UK organisations understand that, as the converged network becomes more
and more central to their operations, ensuring network security is of
increasing importance," said Darren Boyce, managing director, Applinet. "We
are delighted to become a lead partner for Nortel in this area. Our close
interworking with Nortel Technical Support and New Product Introduction
teams through internship, combined with the other elements of the Innovator
initiative and Nortel’s strong security portfolio, will allow us to bring a uniquely
powerful security offering to the UK market."
The Developer Program for Security enables Nortel customers to
leverage leading security vendors when implementing a secure network
solution. Drawing from industry standards-compliant products that are
interoperable with Nortel solutions, customers are backed up by working
relationships with all of the participants, resulting in a total security solution.
Nortel helps enterprises control critical business processes by building
standards-compliant, open security solutions that integrate into today's IT
environment and adapt to tomorrow's security threats. Designed to protect
multimedia communications and ensure user quality of experience, Nortel
solutions actively respond to even unforeseen security threats by building
resiliency and adaptability into every solution and network plan. The Nortel
"security in the DNA" design philosophy protects the network at every touch
point by building security measures into every new product, solution and
network blueprint.

security proof points that will follow in 2005. Nortel’s solutions deliver
capabilities to secure computing, network, applications and end-user
environments while maintaining unmatched reliability. Nortel helps
