FOXBORO, Mass. & OBERURSEL, Germany--(Business Wire)--
Utimaco - The Data Security Company, today announced that Network
Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and a
world leading provider of information on technologies and solutions,
has named SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3 a winner of the 2008 Best Products
and Services Award.

This respected annual award honors products and services that
represent the rapidly changing needs and interests of the end-users of
technology worldwide. As part of the tech-industry's leading global
awards program, this year's Best Products and Services were nominated
from all over the world. SafeGuard Enterprise has achieved
extraordinary market reception with triple the number of customer
seats in the second half of Utimaco's 2007/2008 fiscal year compared
to the first half of the same year.

SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3 is a completely integrated software
solution for multi-layered security, preventing data leakage via ports
and removable media. The suite enforces consistent, centralized,
policy-based encryption and data security for PCs and mobile devices
in mixed device and OS environments. It is the first and only solution
to offer the multi-layered protection of both encryption and data
leakage prevention (DLP) under one central management console. With
SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3, Utimaco ensures ease of use for network and
security administrators with complete deployment flexibility allowing
for both central and non-central management - a key differentiator
that separates Utimaco from competitive offerings.

"Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology
are helping shape better products and services," says Rake Narang,
editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. "SafeGuard Enterprise 5.3
provides unparalleled protection by combining data leak prevention
with encryption and offers users security on all kinds of devices,
