  LOUISVILLE, CO, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Rocky Mountain RAM LLC, a leading provider of data security and policy
management solutions for full disk encryption, mobile data encryption,
and removable storage devices today announced the suite of flash drives
featuring McAfee Anti-Virus technology has been approved by the
Department of Defense DARTT team and now on the DoD/GSA SmartBUY Contract
(#FA8771-07-A-0302) and available on GSA Schedule. The DoD Data-at-Rest
Tiger Team (DARTT) was developed in 2006 to address technical
requirements and security policies and awards blanket purchase agreement
(BPA) contracts.

    Rocky Mountain RAM removable storage products feature drive installed
device management and encryption with on-drive McAfee Anti-Virus
technology. The portable device protection prevents malware from attaching
itself to the portable drive and infecting the internal enterprise host.
An Administrator control application allows administrators to set policies
regarding the use of removable devices, track devices, regulate network
usage, and dynamically revoke access to a lost or stolen drive.

    "Rocky Mountain RAM, with our technology development partners, was quick
to abide with the new requirements the DARTT issued in December 2008. Our
co-developed solutions lead the charge in bringing market approved
products that feature McAfee anti-virus technology on flash drives,"
stated Lisa Schaeffer, CEO of Rocky Mountain RAM. Rocky Mountain RAM
premier partners include McAfee, ENCRYPTX, IronKey, and North Central
Sight Services; a National Industries for the Blind Associated Agency.
Flash Drives featured are from leading industry manufacturers: McAfee's
Zero Footprint Drive, McAfee/SanDisk AV Drive, IronKey with AV, and the
UltraLockAV and MegaLockAV by Rocky Mt Ram and SKILCRAFT(R).

    "We are pleased Rocky Mountain RAM chose the McAfee AV technology for its
suite of flash drives aimed at securing customers in the government
sector," said David Scholtz, senior vice president of Strategic Alliance
and OEM Sales at McAfee. "With today's increasingly mobile work force and
the speedy proliferation of new threats, it's just as vital for
organizations to protect their portable devices from malware as it is to
secure their perimeter."

    Rocky Mountain RAM's flash drives are USA-made and McAfee enabled making
them Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant and consistent with new and
upcoming DOD policies that enhance the protection of networks from
malicious attacks originating from removable storage media. Rocky
Mountain RAM will release FIPS 140-3 certified, USA-made flash drives
featuring McAfee Anti-Virus technology Fall of 2009.

    Schaeffer concluded, "Rocky Mountain RAM offers buyers a one-stop source
for BPA-approved removable storage options with multiple price points. We
intend to address not only the security needs, but also the budget needs
of the customer with choices. We offer government buyers the most robust
and cost effective products for removable device security and control."
