Alcatel-Lucent and Jeskell Plan to Deliver User-Centric Security Solutions

Alcatel-Lucent and Jeskell, a provider of IT security consulting, remediation and managed services, will together deliver unique enterprise network and information security solutions.

 

The solution will help customers gain from security investment by Alcatel-Lucent's (News - Alert) security products and Jeskell's security services, for security gap analysis and remediation.

 

Network performance and uptime are critical for an enterprise as network downtime not only costs money but is also a loss of precious time. Ever expanding enterprise networks and increasing business reliance has given rise to new challenges of securing these networks.

 

Alcatel-Lucent's security products allow the fine controls to protect the system, also providing audit trails for secure corporate networks and protect against information security breaches. This provides security infrastructure for specific compliance requirements like Payment Card Industry (PCI) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The combined solution helps to reduce IT security costs for enterprise customers. The two companies also provide external management of the customer's security infrastructure.

 

"These two companies have the required experience and compelling solution suite to meet critical business needs," commented Michael Suby, Director at Stratecast (a Division of Frost & Sullivan (News - Alert)).

 

Michael also added, "Alcatel-Lucent security solutions arm enterprises with robust tools that not only allow them to meet today's security and compliance regulations head-on but also to safely and confidently leverage broadband communications and the Internet to provide ubiquitous access to business applications for their employees and business partners."

 

Michel Emelianoff, Vice President of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Security stated, "Enterprises should seek nothing less than a strong and resilient security program that protects corporate information with documented run time user controls and audit capabilities. This partnership lets customers achieve these goals in one stop." "With an independent network embedded security infrastructure, there is a reduced risk of an information security breach or fraud."
