Company Secures Internet Access with Firewalls from Lucent Technologies

T-Com, the fixed line division of Deutsche Telekom AG, has awarded Lucent Technologies ( NYSE:LU ) a contract for Lucent's award-winning VPN Firewall solution to protect Internet login servers on its network.

Under the terms of the contract, Lucent will supply Brick® 350 and Brick® 150 firewalls. Lucent will incorporate this Bell Labs-developed technology into the edge of T-Com's network to provide advanced security services to protect the login servers used for Internet dial-up connections, as well as to allow highest availability of T-Com login systems.

The Lucent VPN Brick® firewalls can protect a critical area in T-Com's network, the "Authentification Servers". These perform user authentication and verification functions, which confirm whether the user trying to connect to the Internet - be it by DSL, ISDN, analog modem or Voice over IP - is a registered customer. The connection to the T-Com backbone is only set up after the customer"s identity and account has been authenticated. The servers and the firewalls that protect them represent the first line of defense in an important area of T-Com's network.
