Gemalto Winner of 2008 Tomorrow's Technology Today Award from Info Security Products Guide

Smart Enterprise Guardian Wins Personal Portable Security Devices
(PPSD) Category
AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, has received the
2008 Tomorrow's Technology Today Award for its Smart Enterprise
Guardian (SEG), the company announced today. Silicon Valley-based Info
Security Products Guide named Gemalto the winner in the Personal
Portable Security Devices (PPSD) category. The SEG is a unique,
multi-function USB device jointly developed by Gemalto and leading
semiconductor solutions provider Lexar.

"To get this recognition in the new Personal Portable Security
Devices (PPSD) category is particularly exciting," said Jerome Denis,
marketing director for Identity Access Management, Gemalto. "The SEG
is an ideal example of a PPSD. This single PIN protected USB device
takes advantage of the highest levels of security that smart cards
provide, delivering two-factor authentication, email encryption,
digital signature, portable encrypted Flash and hard disk encryption.

"SEG also makes it easy to implement and deploy strong network
security. Our customers like the option to start quickly with simple
one time password and then move to PKI using the same device. And it
is all plug and play compatible with standard Microsoft operating and
network software, so it does not require any middleware in the PC,"
said Denis.

"Our goal with the 2008 Tomorrow's Technology Today Award is to
recognize security leaders like Gemalto that are bringing advanced,
ground-breaking network security solutions to the market and setting
the bar higher for others in digital security," said Rake Narang,
editor-in-chief, Info Security Products Guide.
