portfolio of consumer and enterprise security solutions

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and Intel Security are working together to make managed
security solutions available for telecom operators to bundle with the existing
services they provide to enterprises. Combining Ericsson's managed services
expertise, global delivery capability and network security expertise with Intel
Security's broad portfolio of consumer and enterprise security solutions will
enable enterprises to strengthen their security posture.
From the enterprise perspective, telecom operators will contribute their
regulatory compliance expertise, ability to combine communications services with
security, and local response capabilities. Initially, intrusion prevention
system services, e-mail security and web security solutions will be available.
By supporting networks that connect more than 2.5 billion subscribers and carry
more than 40 percent of the world's mobile traffic, Ericsson is helping to
realize a truly Networked Society. Increased connectivity is unlocking massive
value for people, business and society, but also exposing us all to new
potential risks. Together with Intel Security, Ericsson aims to make it easier
for telecom operators to support their enterprise clients in protecting valuable
intellectual property, data, devices, and identities.
Chris Young, Senior Vice President and GM of Intel Security, says:
"Telecommunications networks are a critical component of the economic and social
infrastructures that we rely upon. Together, Intel Security and Ericsson are
working to keep the well over three billion people across the globe that use
these systems safe and secure."
Jean-Claude Geha, Vice President and Head of Managed Services at Ericsson, says:
"Intel Security has an exceptional, end-to-end consumer and enterprise security
product portfolio. Ericsson is the leader in telecom managed services with the
scale, skills and people required to make Intel's security solutions available
to telecom operators around the world. Together, we will be able to provide
exceptional managed security solutions to telecom operators."
Today, Ericsson is the global leader in telecommunications managed services.
Operations for multiple operators are managed through Global Network Operation
Centers and a field service organization. Ericsson employs 65,000 services
professionals in 180 countries, and provides managed services for networks that
serve one billion subscribers worldwide. Increasingly, Ericsson uses its global
managed services expertise in market segments other than telecommunications -
and IT is one of the company's focus areas.
