Symark International's PowerKeeper(R) Wins Network Products Guide 2008 Readers Trust Award

Leading Appliance for the Secure Creation, Control, Storage and
Retrieval of Privileged Administrative Account Passwords Named the
Winner of the Best in Privileged Access Management Category
AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Symark International, developer of the PowerSeries(TM) information
security solutions for managing privileged access, today announced
that PowerKeeper, the industry's leading appliance for privileged
account access management, was named the winner in the Best in
Privileged Access Management category as part of Network Products
Guide's 2008 Best Products and Services Readers Trust Awards. This
respected annual award honors products and services that represent the
rapidly changing needs and interests of the end-users of technology
worldwide. Symark's PowerBroker, the industry's most comprehensive
solution for authorization and access control within heterogeneous
UNIX/Linux data centers, was also named the winner of the Best in
Policy Management category.

"We are honored that PowerKeeper has been selected by Network
Products Guide as part of the 2008 Best Products and Services Readers
Trust Awards," said Bob Farber, CEO of Symark International. "Every
year, these prestigious awards honor the very best technology
solutions, and the selection of PowerKeeper as the only winner in the
Best in Privileged Access Management category is a testament to our
ongoing commitment to providing industry-leading access management
solutions. PowerKeeper adds significant value to our customers by
helping them efficiently and cost-effectively eliminate insider threat
and comply with a variety of federal and industry regulations."

Symark's PowerKeeper provides the combination of a secured,
hardened appliance with the use of only commercially supported
FIPS-140 validated encryption components. This provides the best
security techniques available for protecting passwords--and the
accounts they access--from unauthorized use. PowerKeeper safeguards
proprietary systems and information through a secure release mechanism
that automatically changes and verifies passwords based on granular
security parameters established by management. By protecting the
UNIX/Linux root, Windows Administrator and other privileged accounts
such as Cisco Enable--the virtual "keys to the kingdom"--PowerKeeper
enables organizations to create a secure access control infrastructure
that satisfies corporate governance, compliance and risk guidelines.
PowerKeeper also tracks and logs all password activity--including
requests and releases--and creates a comprehensive audit trail from
which various reports can be generated.

"Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology
are helping shape better products and services," said Rake Narang,
editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. "By managing privileged
access to proprietary information and systems, Symark's PowerKeeper
addresses significant security and compliance issues for organizations
in all industries. Winning a 2008 Readers Trust Award validates
PowerKeeper's superiority in helping companies tackle insider threat,
one of the most vexing IT security challenges."
