Liquid Machines Extends Its Award-Winning Enterprise Rights Management Software Platform to Support New Operating

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
RSA Conference, Booth #1152 -- At the 2009 RSA Conference, Liquid
Machines, the leader in Enterprise Rights Management solutions, today
unveiled major new releases of its flagship enterprise rights management
(ERM) software platform. These new releases extend the Liquid Machines
ERM platform to the industry's most current computing architectures,
operating systems, databases, applications and mobile devices.

The Liquid Machines ERM Platform provides client, server and
infrastructure-based software products and integration APIs that enable
persistent information protection. Only ERM persistently controls access
to and usage of electronic files regardless of where they exist without
changing the way users work. Built with support for Microsoft Active
Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS), customers use Liquid
Machines software to secure and control their most critical information,
including intellectual property, executive and board communications,
customer data and human resources information, while enabling secure
collaboration and strict adherence to regulatory compliance.

"We're delivering a significant release of the Liquid Machines ERM
platform, enabling our customers to easily scale their global deployments
to hundreds of thousands of users," said Michael Ruffolo, Liquid Machines
CEO. "Our global customers will benefit from our new support for leading
applications such as Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9, the latest BlackBerry
smartphones and the newest operating systems and databases from
Microsoft."

Today at the America's Growth Capital Information Security Conference in
San Francisco, Ruffolo will discuss the new capabilities of the Liquid
Machines ERM Platform and outline his company's vision for integrating ERM
with data loss prevention (DLP) solutions (see press release Liquid
Machines CEO to Unveil Company's Strategy for Integration with Data Loss
Prevention Solutions at the 2009 America's Growth Capital Conference).

"Increased data portability mandates companies not only protect
confidential data throughout the document's lifecycle but also monitor its
usage within and out of the enterprise. The continued integration of data
loss prevention and enterprise rights management solutions allow
organizations to effectively address this difficult task and is gaining
momentum within the industry," said Nick Selby, Vice President and
Research Director of the Enterprise Security Practice at the industry
analyst firm, The 451 Group. "Liquid Machines continues to aggressively
drive its enterprise rights management software roadmap into the data
loss prevention market with the promise of providing companies with the
persistent protections they need to guard against the inappropriate or
unintended disclosure of confidential enterprise information."

The Liquid Machines ERM Platform consists of two product brands, Liquid
Machines Document Control and Email Control, and includes the following
new features and enterprise-scalability enhancements:

-- Support for New Hardware and Operating Systems enables users to host
the Enterprise Policy Management server component of Liquid Machines
Document Control on 64-bit computers running Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
Business users can easily create and manage ERM role-based policies backed
by Microsoft Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS), which
include dynamic revocation, and compliance-level auditing and reporting on
information access and usage. Access to the Enterprise Policy Management
component is browser-based and adds support for Microsoft Internet Explorer
8.0 in this release. Enhanced Search capabilities allow enterprises to
easily manage hundreds of policies across advanced workflows.
-- Global High Availability and Horizontal Scaling enhancements allow for
large-scale and complex deployments. With new support for Microsoft SQL
Server 2008, system administrators can configure distributed, replicated
databases for sites in different geographic locations, enabling high-
availability while eliminating dependencies between global sites due to
wide-area network latency or outages. Administrators can distribute Liquid
Machines servers to enable remote clients to operate if their local server
loses connection to the master server. Additional performance improvements
have been made to double the throughput of client and server
communications.
-- Domain- and Group-level Roles make it easy for policy administrators
to create reusable roles across the enterprise. ERM policies contain one or
more roles (e.g. author, reviewer, approver, executive, auditor,
compliance, etc.); roles define those authorized users or groups that have
access to information and their specific set of permissions, or usage
rights (e.g. read only, edit, print, expiration, etc.). Users and groups
are provided directly from the company's directory service (i.e. Active
Directory). Administrators can define reusable roles that are available to
all policies (i.e. domain-level roles) or only for policies in a particular
policy group (i.e. group-level roles). Through the intuitive web-based user
interface, policy administrators can view the available reusable roles,
simply click on the role name displayed and add users or groups.
Administration can be delegated on several levels including membership
management (i.e. adding or removing individual users into or out of one or
more policies).
-- Support for New Applications brings Liquid Machines Document Control
client functionality to Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9 (Professional and
Standard editions, including foreign language editions). Liquid Machines
enables the native Adobe Acrobat and Reader applications to create rights-
managed PDF files and portfolios. Portfolios allow users to include one or
more files created in any application or format. For example, users can
create a PDF Portfolio which includes Office documents, emails,
spreadsheets, AutoCAD drawings, rich media (e.g. Flash SWF or FLV) and
PowerPoint presentations. With Liquid Machines, business and technical
professionals can use the Portfolio container to electronically share
multiple files securely by applying information protection such as
Microsoft AD RMS. Liquid Machines protects all files within a Portfolio at
rest or in transit using industry-standard encryption; individual files can
also be persistently protected while "in use" with ERM controls.
-- Major Upgrade to Liquid Machines SharePoint Gateway delivers unique
support for dynamic, role-based ERM policies with Microsoft AD RMS (see
press release Liquid Machines Announces New Role-based Enterprise Rights
Management Policies and Compliance Reporting for Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server 2007). ERM policies map directly to SharePoint permission
levels for document libraries, enable advanced enforcement options and
application-level auditing, and dynamically synchronize policy updates that
occur to files in use outside of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
(i.e. downloaded to disk or checked-out).
-- Support for New BlackBerry Smartphones running BlackBerry(R) OS v4.1
and above. Liquid Machines adds support for the latest BlackBerry
smartphones including the BlackBerry(R) Storm(TM), BlackBerry(R) Bold(TM),
BlackBerry(R) Curve(TM) series, BlackBerry(R) Pearl(TM) series and
BlackBerry(R) Pearl(TM) Flip smartphones (see press release Liquid Machines
Extends Its Industry-Leading Support of BlackBerry Smartphones for
Microsoft Active Directory Rights Management Services to More Than 400 File
Formats). With this new release, Liquid Machines adds advanced features
that allow persistent protection of attachments saved in more than 400
different file formats.
