Internet Security System's RealSecure for Nokia New IP120

Provides Comprehensive and Manageable Intrusion Protection

Today, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) announced the latest extension to its RealSecure(R) for Nokia intrusion detection system (IDS) product line, the entry-level Nokia IP120 security platform.

A secure solution for small, medium and enterprise branch offices, the IP120 combines Internet Security Systems (ISS) (Nasdaq: ISSX) award-winning intrusion detection solution with Nokia's hardened operating system and purpose built platform.

"The IP120 extends the RealSecure for Nokia IDS platform offerings to the branch office, providing enterprises the entry-level solution they need to ensure their remote offices are connecting to the central network securely," said Dan MacDonald, vice president of Nokia Internet Communications. "Its ease of deployment and remote manageability are two features in particular that make the IP120 a value-add for any distributed enterprise or service provider."

The Nokia IP120 is ideal for enterprise customers who require a complete, scalable IDS solution for remote office or branch site locations on 10 mbps segments where manageability is critical. Service Providers will also benefit by deploying the Nokia IP120, because it enables them to extend their product offering to small businesses with this entry-level IDS solution.

RealSecure for Nokia IP120 provides IDS perimeter protection, including not just branch and satellite offices, but security that extends to partners, suppliers and customers. With full management capabilities from Nokia and ISS, and an installation time of minutes rather than hours, customers can significantly reduce administration costs and IT resources. The unique ability to back-up and restore to multiple platforms at one time is offered through Nokia Horizon Manager, a complementary management tool, that performs system management for large IDS and VPN/Firewall installations.

"The IP120 security platform is an excellent extension to the RealSecure for Nokia product line," said Steve Gant, Vice President of Internet Security Systems Solutions Management and Business Development. "Now small, medium and enterprise branch office locations can extend their security solutions, effectively monitoring and detecting intrusions with peace of mind."

The RealSecure for Nokia IP120 is now available globally.
