NTT Com to Offer Global Unified Threat Management Service

TOKYO, March 27 /PRNewswire/ --

NTT Communications (NTT Com) announced today the launch of its Global
Unified Threat Managed (Global UTM) service, which will provide Arcstar(TM)
Global IP-VPN customers with integrated services for planning, constructing,
managing and implementing effective protection against network security
threats.

Global UTM utilizes a range of security technologies to provide IP-VPNs
with comprehensive protection against threats. A service package typically
includes modules for integrated firewall, IPSec VPN, iIntrusion Protection
System(IPS) antivirus content and spam filtering.

The service enables customers to utilize outsourced security management
with 24/7 support to monitor their network traffic and protect themselves
against threats that could potentially impact their businesses. Security
incidents are managed expertly by NTT Com's Security Operation Center (SOC),
which specializes in root-cause analysis, incident remediation and other
security-management measures.

The service offers numerous competitive features, including:

    - Comprehensive security management for global enterprise networks.
    - Integrated suite of services covering a variety of security measures.
    - World-class security developed in collaboration with leading
      third-party research centers.
    - Real-time identification of threats and rapid recovery for minimized
      impact.
    - Total-cost optimization of global security management.

Multinational companies are demanding security-management services on a
single platform to help them prevent or minimize increasingly sophisticated
threats to their network security. In particular, multinationals need to be
able to manage server, PC and firewall security locally and contain security
incidents before they spread throughout their global networks.

With the service, hardware and software is installed locally on the
client's premises by dedicated engineers of NTT Com and its overseas
affiliates or partners, with support from device vendors.

A key option is the Real Time Event Notification Service, which provides
immediate notification of any security threat exceeding a client-specified
level. Professional security engineers are available on a 24/7 basis to
analyze security events and devise rapid countermeasures.

NTT Com will launch the Global Unified Threat Managed Service in
Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan,
Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand,
U.K., U.S. and Vietnam beginning April 1. Three levels of service will be
available depending on client needs.
