London (ots/PRNewswire)

- Nortel to Introduce New Capabilities to Address Security
Concerns for  VoIP
Nortel(x) (NYSE: NT , TSX: NT) will be exhibiting its broad
security  portfolio as well as hosting two live demonstrations at
this year's RSA  Conference Europe October 23 to October 25 at The
Acropolis in Nice, France,  stand 19.
The demonstrations will focus on showcasing the security features

increased  performance and security to converged enterprise networks.
RSA Conference Europe 2006 offers free sessions, keynotes and
tutorials to provide Europe's premier forum on the latest trends
behind the  ever-changing nature of information security threats.
At the show, Nortel executives will be discussing how the Company
is  working with leading security partners to address the ongoing
issues  enterprises and small medium businesses face around securing
VoIP.
"Resilient end-to-end converged, secure IP Telephony and
multimedia  networks are critical to ensure reliability and integrity
of business- critical multimedia communications," said Shirley
O'Sullivan, security  leader, Nortel, EMEA. "As communication
services migrate to Internet-based  converged platforms, it is
imperative to apply a layered defence  architecture across the IT
infrastructure to ensure there are no single  points of security
failure."
Nortel spokespeople will also be available at RSA to talk about
the  following topics and how they relate to the Company's overall
strategy -  'Security through Network Intelligence'.
-  Secure Router Portfolio availability in EMEA - Nortel introduces its
        Secure Router Portfolio to Europe.
     -  Application Intelligent Networking - An overview of how data centre
        evolution has driven requirements for application availability,
        performance and security, and what Nortel is doing to give control of
        the data centre back to the IT Manager.
     -  Using speech as another layer of security - Overview of how voice
        authentication takes security to a whole new level - how it offers
        the best combination of accuracy, convenience and cost effectiveness
        to identify callers over other security techniques.
     -  Innovative Communications Alliance - Nortel's recent alliance with
        Microsoft - how the two companies will be working together to deliver
        secure software based Unified Communications.
