Application Security, Inc. Unveils "The Unprotected" Web Film Series to Highlight Database Security, Risk and Compliance

Original Dramatic Web Film Series - Written by Aaron F. Schnore and Directed by
Jorge Rivera -- Explores Database Security, Risk and Compliance Issues
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Application Security, Inc., the leading provider of database security, risk and
compliance (SRC) solutions, today launched a new, original dramatic Web film
series entitled "The Unprotected." Echoing the gritty, fast-paced, dramatic
style of "The Wire" and "24", the five-part "webisodic" series highlights real
world database security, risk and compliance issues that enterprise
organizations face every day. "The Unprotected" is the first film project
developed by Application Security, Inc. The trailer can be viewed immediately
and the pilot episode will debut on October 19. The saga will continue with the
weekly release of new "webisodes" through mid-November. "The Unprotected" can be
viewed online at www.theunprotected.net.

"'The Unprotected' illuminates the sobering fact that database security is no
longer a 'nice-to-have,'" said Thom VanHorn, Vice President of Global Marketing
at Application Security, Inc. "Today's regulatory environment and the fact that
the database is squarely in the crosshairs of hackers has made it a 'must-have'.
Organizations are suffering from a false sense of security and compliance. This
is evidenced by the fact that 56 percent of organizations were breached last
year, and 40 percent of organizations fail security audits on a regular basis.
We have no doubt that highlighting real business scenarios -- in a way that's
entertaining and educational -- will help raise visibility and spur action on
this critical issue."

"The Unprotected" tells the story of Greencrest Financial, a financial services
firm that must achieve compliance by the end of the quarter. Unfortunately, not
only is Greencrest failing its audit, but to make matters worse, the firm's
credit card table is suddenly hacked, compromising tens of thousands of
sensitive customer records. While "The Unprotected" features professional actors
(with the exception of star Danny Guerrier, as Wesley the Senior DBA, who is a
QA tester with Application Security, Inc. making his professional acting debut),
the project was developed in-house by Application Security, Inc. employees.

"The Unprotected" was written by award-winning screenwriter (and Application
Security, Inc. veteran) Aaron F. Schnore, who also penned the script for the
feature film "Inside a Change," (directed by Rik Cordero) winner of the Best
Picture award at the 2009 HBO New York International Latino Film Festival. "The
Unprotected" was directed by Jorge Rivera, also a long-time Application
Security, Inc. employee, who is best known for co-producing and co-writing the
award winning psychological horror short film "Rhyme Animal " (also co-produced
and co-written with Schnore).

According to Jorge Rivera: "There`s no difference between what we`re portraying
on film with Greencrest Financial and what real organizations experience. 'The
Unprotected' clearly shows why organizations continue to struggle with database
security, risk, and compliance and how they can proactively address these
problems."
