Wiresoft Launches Firegate - All-in-One Firewall with Disaster Recovery - and Issues Challenge: "Hack Us If You Can"

Small-to-Medium-Sized Businesses Gain Affordable Enterprise-Level Security - The
Challenge: Hack Firegate in 24 Hours - Win $24,000
CINCINNATI--(Business Wire)--
Wiresoft, a leading provider of affordable, high performance network security
products for America`s small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today unveiled
Firegate - the industry`s foremost "unbreakable" firewall delivering
enterprise-level security plus disaster recovery at an economical price. To
accelerate the availability of Firegate to the nation`s SMBs, Wiresoft announced
an agreement with a leading global business process services company to
distribute the innovative product suite through some 50,000 value added
resellers (VARs).

Underscoring the reliability of Firegate`s core technology platform, which has
never been penetrated in either laboratory or market conditions, Wiresoft today
issued a challenge: a $24,000 reward to anyone who can hack Firegate within 24
hours.

The Challenge: Hack Us in 24 Hours, Win $24,000

The "Hack Us If You Can" challenge will be open to all. Effective November 16,
2009, the rules for participating in the challenge will be on Wiresoft`s web
page at www.wiresoft.com. Participants must register and complete the challenge
application. To win, participants must hack Firegate within 24 hours.

Wiresoft President Tom Schram said, "With Firegate, businesses have a real
alternative: a single all-in-one system that foils network security threats,
provides full back-up, and is available at a price that any SMB can afford. Hack
us if you can - we dare you."

Schram continued: "For too long, businesses have been forced to rely on costly,
silo`d products that leave them vulnerable to threats against data integrity,
network security and productivity - and paralyzed when breaches and outages
damage or destroy business-critical data. Today, Wiresoft is redefining our
industry with a product that is ultra-reliable and impenetrable."

Firegate: Freedom from Network Intrusion

Firegate is a unified threat management (UTM) network security product - a
single platform that protects companies against all network security threats.
Firegate provides firewall, individually configurable spamwall, unlimited VPN
support, content filtering and anti-virus protection all in one security
platform, and at one price with no hidden charges or add-ons.

Firegate is being made available to the SMB market by Wiresoft`s VAR network,
and through today`s agreement with a global business process services company
supporting 50,000 VARs nationwide. VARs now can sell the full family of Firegate
products:

* Firegate 100 for up to 100 users
* Firegate 1000 for up to 1,000 users
* Firegate Hosted for up to 20 users, a per user service with no up-front
capital investment; and
* Firegate Disaster Recovery - disaster recovery integrated with network
security.

Customers benefit from Firegate`s simplicity, streamlined installation and use,
lower capital investment, high performance, and ability to help reduce network
costs. Continuous maintenance and monitoring through Wiresoft`s adaptive
intelligence Automated Network Administrator (ANA) keeps Firegate up-to-speed
and ahead of the game on rapidly evolving network security threats.

Ultra-Secure Technology Platform, Multi-Industry Applicability

Firegate products use the FreeBSD operating platform. The benefits of FreeBSD
include, but are not limited to, letting users modify a program`s source code
without releasing those changes to the public. Firegate is applicable to any
business, and is fully compliant with industry-specific regulations and
standards including HIPAA, PCI, CIPA and GLBA.

Firegate Disaster Recovery

Wiresoft`s Firegate Disaster Recovery prevents loss of business data, a vital
complement that makes Firegate the most comprehensive network and data
protection product in the industry. This module is downloadable via the Internet
to Firegate. Customers are not required to purchase an on-site appliance first,
and - in contrast to competitors` requirements - only pay for actual space used
instead of in increments.
