-- Two Million Registered Users Allowed Secure Access to Mobile Information
across a Broad Range of Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile Devices





REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology(TM), today
announced that it will be working with Northrop Grumman to deploy their
Good(TM) Mobile Messaging Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (Good
S/MIME) on a broad range  Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile devices such as the
Sprint Touch Pro, Verizon XV-6850, AT&T FUZE and others to provide reliable
mobile email to the two million registered users of the Army Knowledge Online
(AKO) portal.  

Designed specifically to meet the security requirements of the U.S. Department
of Defense, the Good S/MIME solution will provide AKO users with secure
messaging for mobile devices with user-friendly common access card (CAC)
authentication, encryption and signing of email and attachments and automatic
over-the-air (OTA) synchronization of all certificates.

"Providing a secure, reliable and easy to use mobile communications solution
to our users is very important to the Army," said Colonel Noble, Project
Manager for Army Knowledge Online/Defense Knowledge Online. "We selected the
Good solution because it enables us to provide a secure offering while giving
us the flexibility to offer that solution across a broad range of phones."

"Good Technology understands the critical need for government organizations to
have reliable and secure mobile messaging solutions, no matter where they are
located," said Brian A. Bogosian, chairman, CEO and president of Good
Technology.  "By implementing our Good S/MIME solution with Northrop Grumman,
AKO users will have the freedom to access and send their sensitive information
through a secure and reliable mobile platform on a broad range of
industry-leading smartphones." 

"Good Mobile Messaging integrates well with the Windows Mobile platform.  The
combination of Good Mobile Messaging and Windows Mobile devices offers a
broader range of device choice for our Federal and U.S. Public Sector
customers," said Randy Siegel, senior mobility strategist, Microsoft Federal.
"By providing this additional choice through Good Mobile Messaging, we are
delivering an intuitive and secure messaging solution for IT administrators
and device users."

In September 2008, the Good S/MIME solution was certified as a viable mobile
messaging platform for the Army's use and received the Army's Authority to
Operate (ATO), a rigorous third-party testing process through the U.S. Defense
Information Systems Agency (DISA), created to satisfy the security
requirements of the U.S. Government and the U.S. Department of Defense. Part
of the process included a Secure Technical Implementation Guide (STIG)
checklist developed by DISA that provides specific guidance on setting up Good
Mobile Messaging S/MIME for Windows Mobile devices with common access card
readers securely on the U.S. Army's networks.
