Press Release Body = Bangalore, Wednesday - January 31, 2007- SSL VPN leader
Aventail announced today that Luxair, the "Grand Duchy" of Luxembourg's national
airline company, has standardized on Aventail's award-winning remote access
controllers to provide its employees with secure remote access from any location in
the world. Using identification and authentication codes to access Aventail's SSL
VPN, Luxair employees now have a secure portal for "anytime, anyhow, anywhere"
access to the network, the intranet, business applications and e-mail-no matter
where they are or what platform or device they are on-in a foreign country, in an
airport or on the ground.



"For years, we depended on an obsolete system of dial-up for e-mail connectivity.
Dial-up relied on connections being available in the different countries we traveled
to," said Edy Graf, Luxair Assistant Vice President and Head of Systems & Networks.
"We needed a secure remote access solution that could access widespread Internet
access points and provide universal support that would give us continuous
connectivity from any country. Aventail was the right choice."



Luxair's Implementation

Luxair carried more than 1.2 million passengers in 2005 to and from Luxembourg, and
flies regularly to 21 destinations and 36 holiday destinations in Southern Europe,
Egypt, and North Africa. Many Luxair employees travel frequently, including sales
people, relations managers for Luxair catalog and Luxair Tours hotels, and engineers
in charge of aircraft maintenance. Luxair needed to provide these employees with
secure access to the company's e-mail and other electronic resources from any
working environment at any given time.



Luxair IT decided to integrate the Aventail SSL VPN into their identity management
system to provide both improved productivity and security. Now every Luxair employee
receives personal identification codes and authentication codes, and can use them to
connect via Aventail to corporate resources based on their access profiles and
security requirements. For example, contract managers can access the catalog
management application (LAGO), and can update price lists in the reservation system,
while maintenance employees can access the maintenance and repair applications and
files.



"The Aventail SSL VPN solution is highly efficient, because it means that several
access and user profiles can be combined," said Graf. "It offers the means for
consolidating all kinds of external access with internal resources. Aircraft
maintenance engineers can use their specific applications from anywhere in the
world, whether they are with Boeing in Seattle or with Embraer in Brazil."
