--CipherOptics announces the industry's first global security solution for enterprise-wide application data protection--

Raleigh, NC, April 7, 2009- CipherOptics announces the availability of the CipherEngine Services Platform - the industry's first global security solution for enterprise-wide application data protection. This breakthrough solution allows companies to centralize the management of application data security for thousands of applications while greatly simplifying the creation, distribution and management of security policies and services.

Providing global security services such as key generation and management, certificate distribution and policy control, this new security software platform enables infrastructure-wide data protection and allows organizations to easily deploy and manage encryption, packet authentication and other security services as part of a comprehensive data protection strategy. The CipherEngine Services Platform helps organizations secure their data wherever it travels, comply with data protection regulations and significantly reduce the scope and cost of regulatory audits. Coupled with their industry leading network security solutions, CipherOptics now delivers an unparalleled single approach to data protection wherever the need exists.

"The CipherEngine Services Platform is a logical extension of CipherOptics' core competencies and gives enterprises a cost effective way to achieve comprehensive data protection," said Charles Kolodgy, Senior Security Analyst for IDC. "This approach now extends data protection to the computing edge, giving enterprises the ability to protect all application data using their existing infrastructure.

This solution is based on an Open Security Architecture, which allows CipherOptics and other third-party applications to access the services provided by the CipherEngine Services Platform. The architecture also allows CipherEngine's innovative security policy generation and key distribution modules to interface with the native security tools embedded in most host operating systems.

"Enterprises have hundreds and even thousands of applications, including legacy applications, in use with data traversing countless network devices, servers and appliances," said Ron Willis, CEO, CipherOptics. "The CipherEngine Services Platform will allow our customers to centrally manage application data security and give them the power to protect all of their application data with a single, easy to use platform."

CipherOptics is exhibiting at RSA 2009, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco CA, April 20-24, 2009 and at Infosecurity Europe 2009 at Earls Court, London UK, from April 28-30, 2009. A live demonstration of the CipherEngine Services Platform will be available during both shows.
