CREDANT and Ingrian Partner to Deliver Solutions for Ensuring Data Privacy; Agreement between Market Leaders Offers Enterprises End-to-End Security of Sensitive Data.

DALLAS & REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- CREDANT Technologies(R), the market leader in mobile device security, and Ingrian(R) Networks, Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced an agreement to jointly sell and market their security offerings. Under the agreement, CREDANT and Ingrian will deliver solutions to customers that, when combined, will ensure the security of critical data both inside the enterprise and as it is carried outside on the mobile devices of the workforce.

"Ingrian and CREDANT have set the competitive bar with centrally managed security solutions that are unmatched in their respective markets," said Bob Heard, president and CEO, CREDANT Technologies. "Both companies provide intelligent encryption capabilities. Ingrian specializes in encrypting data stored within the enterprise, and CREDANT specializes in encrypting data when it leaves the enterprise. Jointly selling these solutions enables us to leverage our strengths and deliver tremendous value to enterprises wanting to secure their most critical data at all times but in an efficient and cost-effective manner."

Since February, over 45 data breaches have been reported with over 50 million credit card numbers and social security numbers potentially exposed. These breaches include laptop and mobile device theft, logical attacks at the database level and loss of backup tapes, and they clearly have illustrated the mandate to encrypt sensitive data. CREDANT and Ingrian offer leading solutions for intelligently deploying encryption that, when combined, would serve to thwart the vast majority of breaches that continue to make headlines. Together, the solutions help organizations secure sensitive data throughout the enterprise, address a range of security gaps and assure compliance with a host of security and privacy regulations.

The award-winning CREDANT Mobile Guardian product is the most comprehensive and cost effective mobile security platform in the industry -- securing notebooks, tablet PCs, PDAs and smartphones from a single management interface. It does this while integrating with enterprise directories for centralized security policy management.

Ingrian DataSecure(TM) Platforms deliver sophisticated capabilities for encrypting sensitive data in databases and applications, and they can be integrated in heterogeneous environments and be deployed at the Web, application and/or database layer. These products feature granular encryption, seamless integration and centralized security management -- enabling organizations to boost security, with unparalleled ease and cost effectiveness.

"The reality is that today, sensitive data left unencrypted is vulnerable, whether inside the corporate data center or on mobile devices," stated Robert Steinkrauss, CEO of Ingrian Networks. "We're pleased to partner with a market leader in the mobile security space like CREDANT to give our joint customers solutions that can deliver protection from a broad range of real-world threats, ranging from mobile device theft to logical application and database-specific attacks."
