Alcatel-Lucent Nonstop Laptop Guardian Selected for Information Security(TM) Magazine and SearchSecurity.com(TM) 2008

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
RSA Conference -- Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris: ALU) (NYSE: ALU) has again
been
recognized for its innovative and revolutionary laptop security and
management product, the OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian (NLG). The
NLG received industry recognition as an emerging technology in the Information
Security(TM)magazine and SearchSecurity.com 2008 Readers' Choice Awards.

The awards are based on editors who select three innovative technologies
that promise
to address a critical security need for the enterprise or small- to
medium-sized business. According to the editors, "The problem of maintaining
the security posture of laptops that are beyond the reach of corporate IT
for days, weeks or months continues to bedevil enterprises. That's why the
impressive
technology behind Alcatel-Lucent's OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian is so
attractive, and why it earned the Bronze award."

The OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian (NLG), invented by Bell Labs and
incubated by Alcatel-Lucent Ventures, leverages 3G/CDMA/W-CDMA networks to allow
enterprises to overcome the "mobile blind spot" by managing their laptops
anywhere, any time, even when the laptop is turned off. Secure, always-on, fully
integrated third-party applications and features offer enterprises a choice of
best-of-breed solutions along with visibility and control.

The always-on solution includes a PCMCIA 3G card that has a processor, flash
memory
and a rechargeable battery that draws power from the laptop. It features strong
2nd factor authentication and single sign-on through Active Directory
integration. It integrates with 3rd party disk encryption solutions -- enabling
an
enterprise IT manager to remotely secure data when a laptop is lost or stolen
and supports 3DES and AES for the embedded always-on VPN.

Presented by the editors of Information Security(TM) magazine and
SearchSecurity.com(TM), the award selection process was extensive, including
in-depth discussions and interviews between TechTarget editors, security
technology experts, and the TechTarget User Advisory board -- which is
comprised of chief security officers from major US corporations -- to define
the appropriate categories and criteria to encompass the most critical
security technologies and functionality. TechTarget then asks more than 1,600
information security executives and managers to assess and rate products they
deploy within their organizations from a listing of more than 360 products.
Based on their cumulative responses, the judging panel selects Gold, Silver,
and Bronze award winners within the product categories.
