Securing the network with Managed
Business Security
As enterprises extend their business-critical applications to customers, partners
and suppliers, security is crucial. Today’s new security solutions must make sure
that access to enterprise assets is provided only to authorized users, while inte-
grating with existing enterprise security applications such as intrusion detection,
e-mail scanning and content filtering.
The Alcatel-Lucent MBN solution allows you to offer optional managed busi-
ness security services that counter increased threats to enterprise networks and
business-critical applications. Our managed perimeter security solution provides
a three-tier security architecture that includes:
•
The Alcatel-Lucent Firewall VPN Brick
®
portfolio of security appliances – which
integrate application-layer inspection and firewall functionality with advanced
site-to-site VPN capabilities
•
The Alcatel-Lucent IPSec client software – providing secure remote access
VPN services for mobile workforce and telecommuters
•
The Security Management Server (SMS) – providing tightly synchronized fire-
wall, VPN, service quality, VLAN and virtual firewall policy management,
with robust and highly scalable performance
With this solution, you can offer a wide range of managed business security
services for all types of enterprises. For example, you could provide: site-to-
site IPSec VPNs that connect branch offices over the Internet, IPSec remote
Internet access for remote and mobile workers, secure web/application hosting
for enterprise networks — and firewall services for enterprise networks and
data centers.
Telefonica Data is using the Alcatel-Lucent Firewall
Brick
®
to provide Managed Business Security Services
for enterprise customers. Telefonica Data helped a
global financial services provider migrate to an Alcatel-
Lucent based-solution covering 6 international locations
in under 3 weeks. The migration was achieved with
minimum network disruption and near zero downtime
during the migration thanks to the comprehensive
centralized management system and the reliability
and redundancy of the Alcatel-Lucent solution.

“Baker Consultants built and
managed our entire VPN with sites
ranging from the middle of the
Pacific, to the middle of Africa and
to the edges of Central America.
It has been a huge success with
major cost savings. The reliability
of the VPN, even in very difficult
locations has been tremendous.
The ease with which the Alcatel-
Lucent VPN Firewall Brick
®
can
be installed and maintained is
excellent!”
