$2.7 Million Award for Secure Logistics IT Solutions Builds on Prior Government
Sales Successes
SAN ANTONIO--(Business Wire)--
GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB), a leading developer of secure information
exchange solutions, today announced it has received another multi-million dollar
order from the U.S. Army for Secure FTP Server and CuteFTP. The $2.7 million
order includes new product licenses as well as 36 months of associated
maintenance and support services. GlobalSCAPE previously announced substantial
orders from the Army in September 2005 and May 2007. 

The Army has deployed GlobalSCAPE`s secure file transfer solutions since 2005 as
part of the Single Army Logistics Enterprise (SALE). SALE is an Army initiative
focused on upgrading the information technology that tracks personnel,
equipment, munitions, and other supplies throughout the worldwide logistics
pipeline. The Army programs within SALE deliver a fully integrated IT
environment that establishes, sustains, and generates warfighting capability,
including integration with the other military branches. 

"We are very pleased to continue supporting the Army in delivering the secure
information exchange solutions necessary to enable their mission-critical
logistics systems," stated Jim Morris, GlobalSCAPE President and CEO.
"GlobalSCAPE`s role in developing and sustaining market-leading solutions that
deliver distinct information advantages to our government and commercial
customers is something we take very seriously. This is our third substantial
contract award with the Army and further validates our business strategy to
pursue the difficult software certifications and validations necessary to
compete successfully in the government sector and within regulated commercial
industries." 

This most recent Army order builds on GlobalSCAPE`s previously announced
Certificate of Networthiness (CoN) from the U.S. Army Network Technology Command
and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation. The CoN,
announced in November 2008, enables Army installations worldwide to install and
operate Secure FTP Server FIPS version 3 and CuteFTP Pro version 8. The FIPS
140-2 validation, announced in February 2008, is required by most government
departments, including the Department of Defense, to protect the integrity of
files that cross their networks. Similarly, companies in the healthcare,
financial and manufacturing markets are under pressure to ensure that critical
information is secure in transit and at rest. 

GlobalSCAPE leveraged its partnership with Carahsoft, and their GSA Schedule, to
streamline the Army procurement process and obtain the contract award.
"Carahsoft is a $300 million company that is on a fast growth track in
developing government business," continued Morris. "We look forward to working
with them as we continue to grow our government business within the Army and
other national security departments, as well as within other federal agencies."
