FIBERLINK

Delivers Global Access Strategy, Integrated Security, Policy Enforcement For Worldwide Customers

April 1, 2003

EVUA SupplierFest - CANNES, France - April 1, 2003 – Recognizing enterprises' critical need to protect business information worldwide, Fiberlink, a leading provider of secure remote access solutions, was invited by the EVUA to educate enterprises on the value of policy based, remote access services at its SupplierFest 2003 event in Cannes. Skip Taylor, vice president of product development for Fiberlink, will present a case study for one of its Fortune 100 customer accounts, demonstrating the technological and financial benefits of a fully managed, global, remote access service.

SupplierFest 2003, the EVUA's main event for telecoms, service providers and their customers, provides the ideal forum to review the advantages of a policy-based remote access solution. For its unmatched vision in the industry, Fiberlink, recently recognized by Gartner as a leader in its North American Managed Remote Access Magic Quadrant for the third straight year, enjoys tremendous traction in the European market. In fact, Fiberlink grew its European revenue at a startling rate of 200 percent since entering the market a year ago.

Taylor will provide conference attendees with an inside look at the challenges companies face when connecting and supporting a dispersed mobile workforce. He will highlight Fiberlink's secure network computing model designed to meet today's mobile workforce needs - diverse and redundant access, global coverage, integrated security, anti-virus protection and prevention, policy enforcement and scalability.

"Fiberlink works closely with its European customers and partners to tailor the most cost-effective and secure remote access solutions possible," said Lance Roncalli, president of Fiberlink International. "Mobile and remote workers worldwide face similar challenges - getting connected and being productive. However, IT managers are growing increasingly concerned about securing the remote end-point and protecting corporate data. Presenting at EVUA SupplierFest 2003 lets us share a vision of success with European enterprises wanting to address this critical business issue."

Managing remote access and security complexities remain a challenge for enterprises of all sizes. The alarming rise in security breaches worldwide continues to keep security services (VPN, firewall, intrusion detection) at the top of IT buy lists. Gartner Group predicted that at year-end 2002, 90 percent of remote workers made use of personal firewalls and also forecasts worldwide VPN sales to increase to $4.7 billion in 2006 from $674 million in 1999.

Taylor will present the Fiberlink case study at EVUA SupplierFest 2003, on Wednesday, April 2, at 11:30 a.m. local time (GMT plus one hour). The conference begins on Tuesday, April 1, at the Majestic Barriere Hotel and will close on Friday, April 4.
