Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Launches Fleet Supervision Tool for Enhanced Network Management and Security Compliance

SINGAPORE, December 8, 2024 — Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE), a global provider of secure networking and communication solutions, has introduced Fleet Supervision, a cloud-based network inventory management solution designed to streamline compliance with stringent security regulations such as the EU’s NIS2 Directive.

As organisations accelerate their digital transformation, IT teams face growing challenges in maintaining device security, ensuring software compliance, and optimising operational efficiency. Fleet Supervision addresses these issues by offering IT managers a comprehensive platform to monitor and manage network devices more effectively, with a focus on security, compliance, and operational continuity.

Simplifying Network Management

Fleet Supervision provides ALE customers with a no-cost, centralised dashboard that delivers a detailed inventory of all network devices, including model names, serial numbers, and service statuses. This visibility empowers IT teams to anticipate updates, identify support requirements, and ensure software compliance, significantly reducing the risk of security breaches.

The platform’s real-time dashboard also offers instant insights into device lifecycle, service entitlements, and software compliance, allowing organisations to prioritise maintenance and boost network resilience. For networks without a dedicated management system, Fleet Supervision seamlessly integrates device visibility and control, making it a valuable tool for businesses of all sizes.

“ALE Fleet Supervision empowers our customers with a proactive, automated approach to inventory management,” said Sébastien Baudribos, Vice President, Business Unit Services and Customer Care at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. “This tool supports compliance, enhances security, and ensures business continuity, whether managing a single site or a large-scale network.”

Enhancing Compliance and Reducing Costs

With a design tailored to meet evolving security requirements, Fleet Supervision helps organisations align with regulations like the EU’s NIS2 Directive by ensuring all devices are secure and software is up-to-date. This not only mitigates security risks but also reduces operational costs by automating asset and compliance management tasks.
