Nortel Networks Middle East has introduced new security solution sets in Saudi Arabia designed to ensure secure anywhere, anytime remote access to multimedia and IP telephony communication services as well as protect critical information from attack or theft.
Nortel’s new solution sets — Secure Information Access and Secure Multimedia — allow enterprises to protect information and multimedia communications regardless of whether people access the network outside or inside the office. Nortel’s security solutions help ensure people can communicate securely and remotely with advanced capabilities and confidence and without rigid networking security constructs that require office-based equipment or specific end-user devices.
“Security is the overarching consideration in networking today,” said John Girard, an analyst with Gartner. “Networking capabilities take a backseat to security considerations. It really doesn’t matter what efficiencies the infrastructure can provide. If the network isn’t safe, it isn’t usable. Security is critical, especially for verticals like government, financial and health care companies. Solutions must provide a means for enterprises to communicate with proven security measures that protect communications within the organization and among external stakeholders such as partners and customers.”
“Nortel is committed to offering security solutions that address key customer security concerns in Saudi Arabia,” said Ramin Attari, VP Middle East, Nortel Networks. “Our focus is on securing enterprise communications, information, and applications anywhere, anytime by applying a layered defense approach to network security that ensures there are no single points of security failure in a network and adapts to future threats.”
