Alcatel-Lucent Selects SafeNet’s Embedded IPsec VPN Solution

SafeNet announces that Alcatel-Lucent has teamed with SafeNet to offer customers improved wireless laptop security, management, and tracking system.

With the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian wireless platform, IT staff can now be remotely protecting sensitive data on employees' mobile laptops anytime, anywhere, even when the laptop is powered off, lost, or stolen. This enables organisations to extend the same level of robust security that is available for computers within the enterprise network to laptops distributed across a mobile workforce.

The pairing of QuickSec, SafeNet's IPSec VPN toolkit with the Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian will ensure that regardless of network connection type, and regardless of end-user action, all IP traffic will pass directly through the company's protection filters and policy managers before accessing the Internet, thus providing the highest level of mobile security available.

A key product feature developed by Alcatel-Lucent using the SafeNet toolkit is Auto-VPN connection. With no user action, a VPN IPSEC connection is established automatically — every time the user goes online. No matter how the user accesses the network (3G, WiFi, LAN). With this feature, consistent security is always enforced, as users are always behind the enterprise firewalls.

By embedding SafeNet's QuickSec VPN software, Alcatel-Lucent is able to build advanced IPSec VPN security features and seamless roaming directly into the core of the Omni Access 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian wireless platform.
