Company to exhibit a range of Secure Networks solutions that are
delivering unmatched security capabilities and operational benefits to
colleges and universities worldwide
Enterasys Networks(R) (NYSE: ETS), the Secure Networks
Company(TM), is showcasing its industry-leading security capabilities
at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference in Orlando, Fla. The conference,
billed as "the premier IT event in higher education," will attract
more than 4,000 executives and IT decision-makers from the United
States, Canada and more than 30 other countries. It opens today and
runs through Friday, October 21.
Visitors to the Enterasys booth (# 731 / 733) will experience the
"Secure Networks difference" first-hand. Demonstrations of the
Company's unique Secure Networks offerings will feature the industry's
only open architecture, industry-leading security management,
prevention and response capabilities, and the high performance and
reliability required for today's communication networks with no
performance trade-off.
"College and university networks are a primary target for a wide
range of internal and external threats and denial-of-service attacks,"
said John Roese, chief technology officer of Enterasys Networks. "The
only way higher education institutions can extend their campuses and
foster an open communications environment is to have a precise
security capability that is able to take action in seconds, not hours.
We recognize that customers can't double their IT staff or budget in
order to achieve these goals. Secure Networks is uniquely suited to
meeting these challenges. Enterasys solutions are enabling open
communications across some of the largest college and university
campuses in the world."
The theme of the Enterasys exhibit is Secure Networks for Higher
Education, and it will showcase the industry's most comprehensive
embedded security capabilities for colleges and universities.
Secure Networks "solutions in action" will include:
Dynamic Intrusion Response--The powerful DIR demonstration shows
how Enterasys' Dragon(R) Intrusion Defense and NetSight(R) Automated
Security Manager applications work with the Company's security-enabled
infrastructure not only to pinpoint threats and vulnerabilities in a
higher education environment, but also to trigger automated responses
to quarantine affected users or ports, alert IT staff and provide fast
remediation--well before the attack affects other users or
applications.
Classroom Control--Networked computers are now an important
learning tool in the classroom, but they also can serve as a
distraction. This customized solution developed by Enterasys leverages
its Matrix switches and NetSight Policy Manager and enables a
professor to keep students focused on the lesson by limiting access to
unrelated areas of the network with a single click. The enhanced
control and ease of use of Secure Networks makes the implementation of
networked classrooms a smart, practical solution and results in a more
effective, non-disruptive learning environment.
Enterasys also will demonstrate its solution for ensuring that
devices such as laptops and digital music players that attach to the
network are trustworthy and free from viruses and other potentially
damaging content. In addition, Secure Networks experts will be on hand
throughout the show to discuss how all of these solutions can address
the needs of any higher education institution.
The Enterasys Secure Networks Advantage
Enterasys' industry-leading Secure Networks products and solutions
provide the industry's most comprehensive embedded infrastructure
security available today. Secure Networks delivers granular
policy-based security, providing visibility and control down to the
network device, individual user and application level, which enables
network managers to quickly and easily detect, assess, locate and
protect against attacks. This unmatched security comes from the
integrated policy-based management software architecture that works
with the embedded security capabilities Enterasys designs into its
entire product line. Enterasys' unique architectural approach offers
significant operational and business benefits, unmatched by vendors
that add hardware or software to multiple network access points in an
attempt to increase security. In fact, Secure Networks technology can
even make networks with competitors' equipment more secure.

This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding
future events, activities and financial performance, such as
management's expectations regarding future revenue and cash flow;
strategic relationships and market opportunities; product development;
and other business strategies and objectives. These statements may be
identified with such words as "we expect," "we believe," "we
anticipate," or similar indications of future expectations. These
statements are neither promises nor guarantees, and actual future
financial performance, events and activities may differ materially.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements,
which speak only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any
obligation to update such statements publicly to reflect changes in
the expectations, assumptions, events or circumstances on which such
statements may be based or that may affect the likelihood that actual
results will differ materially.
Some risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to: worldwide and regional economic uncertainty and
recent political and social turmoil may continue to negatively affect
our business and revenue; we have a history of losses in recent years
and may not operate profitably in the future; our quarterly operating
results may fluctuate, which could cause us to fail to meet quarterly
operating targets and result in a decline in our stock price; we earn
a substantial portion of our revenue for each quarter in the last
month of each quarter, which reduces our ability to accurately
forecast our quarterly results and increases the risk that we will be
unable to achieve previously forecasted results; we continue to
introduce new products, and if our customers delay product purchases
or choose alternative solutions, or if sales of new products are not
sufficient to offset declines in sales of older products, our revenue
could decline, we may incur excess and obsolete inventory charges, and
our financial condition could be harmed; we may be unable to upgrade
our indirect distribution channels or otherwise enhance our selling
capabilities, which may hinder our ability to grow our customer base
and increase our revenue; we have experienced significant changes in
senior management and our current management team has been together
for only a limited time, which could limit our ability to achieve our
objectives and effectively operate our business; there is intense
competition in the market for enterprise network equipment, which
could prevent us from increasing our revenue and achieving
profitability; a portion of the enterprises we sell to rely in whole
or in part on public funding and often face significant budgetary
pressure, and if these customers must delay, reduce or forego
purchasing from us, our revenues could be harmed; we depend upon a
limited number of contract manufacturers for substantially all of our
manufacturing requirements, and the loss of any of our primary
contract manufacturers would impair our ability to meet the demands of
our customers; and those additional risks and uncertainties discussed
in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 2,
2005.
