CipherOptics Announces "CipherEngine Services Platform"

CipherOptics Announces the Industry`s First Global Security Solution for
Enterprise-Wide Application Data Protection
RALEIGH, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
CipherOptics announces the availability of the CipherEngine Services Platform -
the industry`s first global security solution for enterprise-wide application
data protection. This breakthrough solution allows companies to centralize the
management of application data security for thousands of applications while
greatly simplifying the creation, distribution and management of security
policies and services.

Providing global security services such as key generation and management,
certificate distribution and policy control, this new security software platform
enables infrastructure-wide data protection and allows organizations to easily
deploy and manage encryption, packet authentication and other security services
as part of a comprehensive data protection strategy. The CipherEngine Services
Platform helps organizations secure their data wherever it travels, comply with
data protection regulations and significantly reduce the scope and cost of
regulatory audits. Coupled with their industry leading network security
solutions, CipherOptics now delivers an unparalleled single approach to data
protection wherever the need exists.

"The CipherEngine Services Platform is a logical extension of CipherOptics` core
competencies and gives enterprises a cost effective way to achieve comprehensive
data protection," said Charles Kolodgy, Senior Security Analyst for IDC. "This
approach now extends data protection to the computing edge, giving enterprises
the ability to protect all application data using their existing
infrastructure."

This solution is based on an Open Security Architecture, which allows
CipherOptics and other third-party applications to access the services provided
by the CipherEngine Services Platform. The architecture also allows
CipherEngine's innovative security policy generation and key distribution
modules to interface with the native security tools embedded in most host
operating systems.

"Enterprises have hundreds and even thousands of applications, including legacy
applications, in use with data traversing countless network devices, servers and
appliances," said Ron Willis, CEO, CipherOptics. "The CipherEngine Services
Platform will allow our customers to centrally manage application data security
and give them the power to protect all of their application data with a single,
easy to use platform."

CipherOptics is exhibiting at RSA 2009, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco
CA, April 20- 24, 2009 and at Infosecurity Europe 2009 at Earls Court, London
UK, from April 28 - 30, 2009. A live demonstration of the CipherEngine Services
Platform will be available during both shows.
