1 Secure Access Link (SAL): Supporting Cost Savings and Improving Secure Access

2 ©2010. All rights reserved.2 Agenda  Key Business Drivers  More Control, More Choices  SAL Overview – Co-Resident Gateway – Gateway Server – Policy Server  Use Scenarios – Flexible Alarming – Secure Resolution – Policy Control  Bottom Line Benefits

3 ©2010. All rights reserved.3 Key Business Drivers  Common serviceability model across all Avaya Solutions  Flexible remote access architecture to support changing business needs  Common serviceability model across all Avaya Solutions  Flexible remote access architecture to support changing business needs  Choose who, when, and how products are accessed for remote support  Deliver industry standard secure remote access solutions  Provide strong authentication and logging of access sessions  Deliver industry standard secure remote access solutions  Provide strong authentication and logging of access sessions  Increase security with minimal incremental investment  Reduce ongoing costs to maintain security  Increase security with minimal incremental investment  Reduce ongoing costs to maintain security Changing security standards and unpredictable business demands $ Secure Network Operations Streamline and Easily Manage Networks Enable Multiple Service Partners Keep it Cost Effective

4 ©2010. All rights reserved.4 Next generation remote-access architecture for greater security, reliability, and flexibility More Control, More Choices  Secure remote service environment – Based on an egress access model  Simplified remote access across different connection types – Elimination of modems and need for dedicated VPN hardware – Use of Internet connectivity (HTTPS)  Increased support options ‒ Consistent serviceability architecture across existing and future Avaya products ‒ Co-managed by Avaya, partners, and system integrators

Secure Resolution Any technician servicing your network is uniquely identified with authentication based on industry standards Control all access and receive log of all service activities that meets stringent regulatory requirements Use Scenarios Secure Resolution 1. Flexible Alarming Alarms can be immediately sent to multiple service partners and/or your support center for quick response and improved oversight All legacy, current, and future Avaya products are supported along with non-Avaya products and capabilities 3. Policy Control Easily manage components and change your policy as needs change Set up unique access policies customized for each service partners’ level of service

10 ©2010. All rights reserved.10 1. Flexible Alarming Highlights Ability to better monitor alarm activity Always secure and encrypted transport of data Choose which service partners receive alarms for resolution Alarms generated by the Software Gateway Forwards SNMP Traps (alarms) from products Embeds SNMP messages in HTTPS wrapper Alarms sent outbound from customer’s network over the Internet (or B2B VPN) Alarms immediately distributed as specified to customer, partner(s), and/or Avaya support centers A Process Overview B C

12 ©2010. All rights reserved.12 2. Secure Resolution Highlights Enforce PCI regulations for all remote access with 2FA ‒ VeriSign certificate and eTokens Multiple layers of security controls: 1.User Authentication 2.User Certificate Validation 3.Message Authentication 4.User Authorization 5.Auditing Agents poll servers for connection requests Authorization based upon customer policy Two-Factor User Authentication (2FA) required for all Avaya technicians Enforced and validated by SAL Software Gateway All remote access connection requests are logged Users create Connection Requests From Concentrator Remote Servers whenever remote access is required Connection Requests remain within Avaya or partner data centers Once remote access is granted, an end-to-end connection between the individual and device is created within the HTTPS proxy tunnel A Process Overview B C

15 ©2010. All rights reserved.15 3. Policy Control Highlights Enables easy centralized management of components Allows for active monitoring and termination of remote access sessions Customize partner access policies based on level of service Optional software component deployed on customer-provided server Customer defines access policy IP address and port for connections Time of Day window for connection User- or Group-specific policies White List / Black List Policy enforced by SAL Software Gateway Servers A Process Overview B C
