Voltage Security and Vericept Create Strategic Alliance To Provide Email Control and Prevent
Data Loss Of Business Critical Information

Integrated Technology Will Provide Maximum Protection Over
Enterprises Valuable Informational Assets

RSA Conference, San Jose, Calif., February 14, 2006 – Vericept Corporation, the leading provider of comprehensive compliance and content control solutions, today announced a strategic alliance with Voltage Security, a global leader in enterprise privacy management for data privacy. The alliance provides interoperability between Vericept and Voltage technologies, combining Vericept’s 360˚ visibility and control with Voltage’s Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) for real-time protection against compliance violations, intellectual property theft and customer data loss.

“This alliance will deliver significant value to the marketplace in delivering real-time protection against the insider threat by providing encryption capabilities to content as it is leaving the organization without disrupting the flow of business,” said Brian Burke, Security Analyst, IDC. “Having the ability to monitor and encrypt data leaving the organization in a single solution will greatly benefit the market while also diminishing the amount of risk associated with transferring confidential yet, business critical data to sources outside the organization.”

The Vericept and Voltage integrated solution will enable enterprises, for the first time, to gain visibility into all insider risks and the ability to ensure proprietary information leaving the organization is protected against unauthorized access without any user intervention. Specifically, the alliance will allow users to:

• Automatically encrypt email based on intelligent content and context monitoring
• Use advanced policy-based encryption characterized by any combination of user, department, keyword, metadata or customized categories
• Immediately protect information, out-of-the-box, utilizing more than 70 pre-defined risk categories
• Use unique client-less Identity-Based Encryption for easy deployment and protection of information
• Protect sensitive information that must leave the enterprise to ensure business carries on uninterrupted

“Our alliance with Voltage enables us to continue to deliver technology to the marketplace which provides greater protection against the insider threat than any other vendor in the market today,” said Dave Parkinson , President and CEO of Vericept Corporation. “Our customers are continually looking for the best protection against critical data loss and it is through alliances such as this as well as our continued commitment to product development that we are able to continually deliver the protection necessary for conducting business in today’s perilous online landscape and securing valuable data.”

The integrated solution will provide organizations with the following significant protections and controls against the loss of vital data:

 

• Compliance Control – Protects personal information leaks by encrypting the content as it leaves the organization, enabling companies to guard against compliance violations (HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, etc).

• Intellectual Property Protection – Identifies sensitive information leaving the organization and automatically encrypts, protecting against unauthorized access. Intellectual property such as financials, product plans, business plans, M&A activity and competitive information is kept secure without user intervention.

• Customer Data Protection – Captures disclosure of confidential information (Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers, etc) and takes decisive action to automatically encrypt the information controlling access to it and assisting corporations in avoiding damaging leaks.

“We are pleased to join forces with Vericept and believe our integrated technology will greatly benefit the marketplace,” said Sathvik Krishnamurthy, President and CEO of Voltage Security. “The melding of Vericept’s content monitoring solutions and Voltage’s Identity Based Encryption provides organizations the ability to securely control messages leaving the organization, ensuring they are delivered to appropriate individuals without incident.”
