PacNet Offers Secured Internet Access Solution


Thursday, 20 January 2005

Pacific Internet or PacNet (Nasdaq: PCNTF), the largest telco-independent Internet Communications Service Provider by geographic reach in the Asia Pacific region, today
announced a partnership with Astaro, an award-winning provider of Open-Source
based security software, to introduce a secured Internet access solution to
small-and-medium sized businesses (SMBs) in Thailand.

Under the agreement, PacNet will offer its high-speed Internet access
services with Astaro's integrated network security solution comprising of
firewall, Intrusion Protection System (IPS), virus and spam protections, URL
content filtering and Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway. SMBs have the
option to customize the solution by choosing the type of security features
required. PacNet will fully manage the service for the customers on a monthly
subscription basis.

''While anti-virus and firewall products are gradually becoming essential
IT investments for companies, we noticed that small-and-medium businesses are
still hampered from achieving higher level of security protection. This is
primarily due to huge costs associated with hardware, software and IT human
resources for security upgrades and maintenance. What we are offering to the
SMBs is the market's first all-in-one secured access solution, enabling them
to customize their own security protection and enjoy advanced security
applications cost effectively,'' said Prithayuth Nivasabutr, Managing Director
of Pacific Internet Thailand.

Don Nikanti, Managing Director of Astaro (Thailand) Co., Ltd. said, ''We
believe that this partnership with PacNet will help us extend our network
security solution to business users in Thailand. Our product provides ease of
administration, flexibility and affordability to both partners and customers
who require a comprehensive security solution to help mitigate threats from
the Internet, and enforce the organization's security policy.''

With the partnership, PacNet and Astaro are now offering three security
solutions to meet the demands of various businesses:

-- Centralized security solutions - Designed for SMBs who have limited
budget and resources but need access to security tools at affordable
prices. The service enables firewall, anti-virus, anti-spam, intrusion
protection, and URL content filtering for security management.

-- Dedicated security solutions -- Designed for organizations that require
fine-grained management of their security policy and comprehensive
network security management. This solution will provide a dedicated
Astaro security appliance at the organizations' gateway for complete
control of the network and Internet resources.

-- Internet Data Center security solutions - Provides the necessary
security tools such as firewall, IPS, anti-spam and anti-virus to
protect inbound connections to customers' servers hosted within
PacNet's data center.
