JUNE 20, 2006, COMMUNICASIA, SINGAPORE EXPO, BOOTH #5B2-07 AND TOKYO, JAPAN - Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU) and Beyond Security Ltd. today announced the Asia Pacific (APaC) commercial launch of their Automated Vulnerability Detection Service (AVDS) for Japan.

Under the provisions of a teaming agreement announced in June 2005, Lucent’s Worldwide Services will market the new security solution with additional support from Beyond Security. The companies plan to launch the service in other regions in the future.

The unique AVDS service can protect customers’ networks by proactively testing the network daily against the latest vulnerability information.

In addition, the service is designed to accommodate the requirements of managed security service providers.
