  MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Jul 21 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
ArcSight (NASDAQ: ARST), Blue Coat Systems (NASDAQ: BCSI), Reconnex,
Trend Micro (TSE: 4704), and Utimaco (FRANKFURT: ISIN), today announced
the launch of DLP In Depth (www.dlpindepth.org), an educational site for
information on data loss prevention. The site offers news, case studies,
whitepapers and forums dedicated to discussing data loss issues and best
practices.

    Today's security professionals face a daunting challenge: protecting the
organization's most valuable asset -- information. As organizations invest
in upgrading business systems and processes to exchange critical
information between customers, partners, and employees in real-time, the
increase in the frequency and severity of data breaches brings IT security
concerns to the forefront.

    According to analyst firms, the majority of all leaks are the result of
unintentional information lost from employees and partners. According to
research by The Ponemon Institute, the average information leak costs
organizations approximately $182 per record, averaging roughly $4,800,000
per breach in total. The high cost of a breach can have a profound effect
on organizations' market presence, competitive advantage and bottom line.
The challenge is that many products can protect against data loss, from
simple epoxy glue to more sophisticated security solutions, but
organizations still struggle with knowledge of how to protect themselves.

    "Given the debilitating costs incurred through data loss, and the high
rate of unintentional loss, organizations are seeking answers to
questions about how to protect their organizations' sensitive
information," said Faizel Lakhani, vice president of products at
Reconnex. "We are proud to be combining efforts with leading experts to
create a mechanism for collaboration and interaction to aid organizations
to protect against data loss."

    DLP In Depth will offer an online network of educational resources about
data loss. Visitors can access the site to read whitepapers, best practice
policies, security blogs and up-to-the-minute news on data loss
prevention. In addition to informational resources, users can submit
content via online forums and chat with experts and security teams
concerned with data loss prevention. Registration and access to all areas
of the site is free and can be found online at www.dlpindepth.org.
