Nortel Networks announced several enhancements to its portfolio of security products, including the introduction of the Alteon Security Manager, a new solution that consolidates configuration, management and monitoring of the multiple security appliances. The Alteon Security Manager enables multiple security devices – like the company’s Alteon Switched Firewalls – to be controlled by a single device that presents a common interface for ‘one stop’ security management. The product rollout also includes a new Alteon Firewall 5109 for small- and medium-sized businesses, and new software releases for the Alteon Switched Firewall System.
