Alcatel-Lucent Managed Business Network manual Securing the network with Managed Business Security

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.

“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!”
