Tata Communications Introduces Global Suite of Security Services



    Tata Communications (NYSE:TCL), a leading provider of the new
    world of communications, announced today the launch of a robust suite
    of security services designed to protect the applications, IT systems
    and networks that power its customers´ critical business
    infrastructures. The high-quality, cost-effective security services

    which include premise and managed services as well as professional
    services, enables Tata Communications to provide its customers with
    security solutions on a global basis.

    Tata Communications delivers a full range of monitored and managed
    security solutions that are backed by aggressive performance-based
    Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The services are overseen by an
    experienced, globally distributed support team using state-of-the-art
    systems, processes and tools. Tata Communications´ wide range of
    supported vendors and solutions, combined with its globally consistent
    and efficient service delivery model, meets the security needs for
    businesses.

    "Research by our global network of strategic partners shows that
    security risks continue to increase dramatically. As attacks continue
    to grow in complexity, effective solutions must integrate
    multi-dimensionally across different categories of security
    infrastructure, take on global visibility of incidents and events, and
    build upon best-available real-time intelligence," said John Landau

    Senior Vice President, Global Managed Services, Tata Communications.
    "Tata Communications has assembled extraordinary expertise and
    purposefully designed its defense-in-depth services suite to address
    this concerning trend. We are strongly positioned to support our
    customers as they recognize the requirement to move beyond simple
    point security solutions towards globally consistent integrated threat
    management solutions."

    Tata Communications´ focus on managed services allows enterprises
    to reduce costs by outsourcing the increasingly difficult and
    expensive task of both monitoring and managing their security
    infrastructure, while simultaneously delivering higher levels of
    coverage and protection. The suite of security services, which
    includes managed and monitored Firewalls and Unified Threat Management
    (UTM) appliances, Intrusion Detection and Prevention systems

    Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Detection and Mitigation, and
    Penetration Testing, offers customers proactive detection and
    evaluation of information security threats, accompanied by swift
    incident response and remediation actions. Evaluation and response is
    based on Tata Communications´ sophisticated real time security
    incident and event analysis, which draws upon a global base of current
    activity and trends.

    "It is hard to predict when a new problem with security is going
    to arise. Service providers offering managed security services have a
    better view on the threat landscape and more data points then any
    individual enterprise can have access to on its own," said Rob Ayoub

    Industry Manager - North America Information & Communication
    Technologies for Frost & Sullivan. "Tata Communications combines
    security with telecommunications services on a global basis, operating
    in more than 100 countries. This sets the company apart from others
    and allows it to offer simplicity for multi-national companies looking
    to rely on a small core of service providers."

    By combining third party expertise with core security
    competencies, Tata Communications has assembled a suite of services
    robust enough to meet the needs of multinationals and global
    enterprises, yet priced to be accessible to small and medium sized
    enterprises. Additionally, Tata Communications´ services enable
    enterprise customers worldwide to enhance the confidentiality

    integrity and availability of their applications, information assets
    and systems, while managing their regulatory, compliance and IT
    governance requirements.

    "Tata Communications´ customers are running their businesses on
    cutting-edge IP solutions, with security management being a paramount
    concern," stated Vinod Kumar, President of Global Data and Mobility
    Solutions, Tata Communications. "As one of the world´s largest global
    network operators, our company is committed to meet our customers´
    unique infrastructure needs, allowing them to focus on running their
    businesses. Our delivery of these world-class managed security
    solutions is now providing our customers with the ability to reliably
    secure their critical business networks and applications."

    Global enterprises look to Tata Communications to reduce the
    complexities of information and network security, while meeting key
    governance benchmarks. Tata Communications´ MSS are delivered in
    accordance with ITIL guidelines, and the company is in progress of
    attaining ISO27001 certification in May 2008. Tata Communications´
    experience and range of risk and security solutions help clients
    secure business operations and maintain regulatory compliance across
    the globe.
