Mountain View, Calif., December 10, 2007 - InfoExpress, a leader in network access control solutions, today announced a multi-year, strategic reseller agreement with Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU). Under terms of the agreement Alcatel-Lucent will resell InfoExpress' enterprise-class CyberGatekeeper network access control (NAC) solution and its CyberArmor personal firewall. In joining forces with InfoExpress, Alcatel-Lucent enhances its user aware network security offering by adding the award-winning CyberArmor firewall and CyberGatekeeper with Dynamic NAC to its portfolio of solutions.

For InfoExpress, the alliance adds the strength and reach of Alcatel-Lucent's renowned global sales and services team to help the company quickly add new customers. "With trends like mobility, increased compliance and the further virtualization of business, our customers are keenly focused on network and data security," said Tom Burns, president, Enterprise Solutions, Alcatel-Lucent. "By augmenting our offering with InfoExpress' proven technology, we expand our security arsenal with a NAC solution that is extremely easy to deploy and that competitors are unable to match." "Partnering with a global leader like Alcatel-Lucent gives InfoExpress the ability to accelerate growth and expand our presence worldwide," said Stacey Lum, CEO of InfoExpress. "For customers, the combined strength of our companies' technology provides a compelling and unique solution to the challenges of network performance and security." About CyberGatekeeper with Dynamic NAC CyberGatekeeper with Dynamic NAC is the only NAC solution that eradicates the complicated and costly deployments that have become hallmarks of the industry.

With Dynamic NAC there are zero changes to the network, no networking engineers required, no security experts, no forced upgrades of infrastructure, no complex dependencies on third party products - just a straight forward software installation.

It is fully customizable and environmentally sensitive, adjusting its policies dynamically to ensure maximum protection at all times, whether a user connects on the corporate network, over wireless, or over a dial up.
