Technology: Tata Communications introduces global suite of security services

Tata Communications Introduces Global Suite of Security Services Defense-in-Depth Approach to Enterprise Security Addresses Threats to Business Networks, Systems and Applications

Singapore (BUSINESS WIRE) - 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 thecomplexities 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.

Technology: Tata Communications expands VPN services to Egypt

Another step forward executing the company's emerging market strategy

New Delhi, India (BUSINESS WIRE) - Tata Communications, a leading provider of the new world of communications, announced today the expansion of its Global VPN service to Egypt through a partnership agreement with TE Data S.A.E., a subsidiary of Telecom Egypt S.A.E. (LSE: TEEG) and Egypt's largest IP-based data communications carrier.

Tata Communications and TE Data have interconnected their respective MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) infrastructures, setting up multiple, redundant network-to-network interconnection (NNI) points between the two companies connecting Tata Communications' European and Indian network hubs with TE Data's facilities in Egypt in order to serve enterprise customers' growing worldwide connectivity needs.

"Partnerships with leading telecom players in emerging markets are critical to provide the deep global reach that our customers' networks require," said Genius Wong, Senior Vice President, Global IP and VPN services. "Our agreement with TE Data is part of our larger MPLS expansion plan that will include other NNI agreements, as well as the expansion of Tata Communications international on-net, in key strategic regions and emerging markets that are of high value to our customers."

Egypt's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth over the last five year has averaged at about six per cent mainly on expanding domestic demand. Egypt acts as a major gateway for trade with the Middle East and North Africa due to the free trade agreement between 20 African countries ? COMESA. Following a 25-per cent year-on-year real increase in 2007, investments continue growing at full speed, surging by about 30 per cent year-on-year thus far in 20081. According to the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), investments from India alone are expected to cross $1.5 billion by 2009.

The NNI agreement allows Tata Communications to seamlessly extend its current end-to-end service capabilities by incorporating the TE Data's IP MPLS network footprint in Egypt, using more than 800 access points-of-presence. This will enable the company's VPN customers to benefit from superior connectivity to and from Egypt while experiencing the same security, redundancy and quality of service offered on the Tata Communications network.

"We are pleased to partner with Tata Communications to provide our customers with high-quality IP VPN solutions," said Mr Emad Alazhary, TE Data Vice Chairman and Managing Director. "The seamless integration of Tata Communications' high performance MPLS network with TE Data's extensive network coverage in Egypt will provide superior connectivity to India
and to the world."

This agreement is the latest in Tata Communications' plans to continue to develop and expand its global coverage. Tata Communications already offers its MPLS services in almost 40 countries and expects to reach over 50 by the end of 2008. It is also increasing the resiliency and depth of its international network with new dual PoPs in four countries and new PoPs?in 8 cities within its existing country footprint.
Tata Communications also offers extended reach to over 150 countries through its VNO Services division.

"Tata Communications' partnership agreement with TE Data will link customers in Egypt with the rest of the world via our rapidly growing network," said Radwan Moussalli, Managing Director, MENA, Tata Communications. "Africa and the Middle East are markets that are undergoing significant growth, and we plan on continuing to expand the relationship as part of a
growing cooperation between Tata Communications and TE Data."
