BeyondTrust Closes 2006 with Record Sales and Tripled Annual Revenue.

Least Privilege Management Leader Finishes Year with Unprecedented Growth, Industry Recognition and International Expansion

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- BeyondTrust Corporation, the first provider of Least Privilege Management solutions, today announced that it experienced record sales of its BeyondTrust Privilege Manager product in 2006, resulting in an over 200-percent increase in revenue over the previous year. The company's explosive growth capped off a banner year that also featured noteworthy industry recognition for its technology, new customer additions across a wide range of industries and European expansion.

"The tripling of our revenue in 2006 and record sales of Privilege Manager demonstrate that we are on the edge of a wave of enterprise adoption of the security best practice of Least Privilege. The introduction of Microsoft Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC) has made it clear to the industry that Least Privilege plays a key role in secure computing, and both home users and small businesses will certainly benefit from that product," said John Moyer, CEO of BeyondTrust. "However, as our customers and industry media reaction have demonstrated, UAC does not provide an adequate solution for the enterprise. BeyondTrust looks forward to continued success in 2007 and beyond as it provides User Account Control for the Enterprise to enable Least Privilege on Windows Vista, as well as on the pervasive Windows 2000 and XP platforms, and to help make Windows the most secure platform it can be for enterprise computing."

In 2006, BeyondTrust expanded its customer base with the addition of companies spanning a broad range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, government, military, technology and petrochemical. The company also paved the way for European expansion with the hiring of Paul van Hugte, a seasoned leader with a proven track record of successfully expanding European markets for security software companies, as its vice president of EMEA. Van Hugte will oversee BeyondTrust's sales to meet the overwhelming demand for Privilege Manager in Europe, where recent wins include financial and petrochemical concerns in excess of 20,000 seats.

"All indications are that our growth rate will continue to increase in 2007 as we implement our European expansion plan, build our channel and continue to execute our technology roadmap," said van Hugte. "It's an exciting time for BeyondTrust, as we innovate and lead the enterprise transition to a Least Privilege environment."

BeyondTrust enjoyed a record level of recognition in 2006 fueled by positive media coverage. Leading publications, including eWeek, Information Security, Network World and Network Computing featured positive coverage of BeyondTrust, outstanding reviews of Privilege Manager and customer profiles illustrating the benefits of adopting the company's technology to enable Least Privilege in enterprise Windows environments. BeyondTrust garnered noteworthy industry accolades, including finalist recognition in Windows IT Pro/SQL Server Magazine's "Best of TechEd 2006" competition and as a runner up for the Best of Microsoft Management Summit 2006's Best of Show award. The company also recently received a "Hot Company" award from the editors of Info Security Products Guide. In addition, the BeyondTrust's experts continued to serve as industry thought leaders through their participation in prominent events, most recently with the selection of CTO Marco Peretti as a moderator for RSA Conference 2007's peer-to-peer discussion of "Implementing the Security Best Practice of Least Privilege."
