Document Security Systems, Inc. and The Ergonomic Group Announce Favorable Market Response to Authenticate-360.com Knowledge Site.

High Traffic numbers and broad industry interest reinforce commitment to expand the site as a vehicle for delivering awareness, education, and solutions in the Fight Against Counterfeiting and Fraud.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Document Security Systems, Inc. (AMEX: DMC) ("DSS"), and The Ergonomic Group ("EGI") announced today that their recently launched public interest website, www.authenticate-360.com, has met with great success in the first month, growing traffic from zero to more than 6,000 unique visitors in just four weeks. Traffic continues to build at the rate of approximately 2,000 hits per week. Thus far, visitors have come from 156 countries, pointing to the global nature of the problem.

"Government agencies, defense contractors, healthcare providers and many other organizations operate under tremendous risks from potential counterfeiting of their sensitive documents", said Peter Ettinger, President of Document Security Systems. "We developed this site with our Premier Partner EGI, to fill the need for a centralized intelligence source to communicate the magnitude of the problem, as well as provide solutions for deterring print-based counterfeiting. The response we have seen thus far points to a real hunger for education and a need for solutions to this increasingly costly problem," he concluded.

Businesses are becoming acutely aware of the revenues lost, costs incurred and risks posed by today's highly sophisticated counterfeiters. "Organizations are experiencing unprecedented losses of profits, jobs, brand value, and sometimes even lives, due to the increase in fraudulent goods entering global markets today," remarked Robert Girards, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of EGI. "Enterprises and financial institutions are struggling to combat the damage being done to their customers and their brands. I believe that the Authenticate-360.com site serves as a uniquely powerful tool to deliver the intelligence that will help them to win this fight."

The website is central to a broad, proactive educational undertaking by DSS and EGI, and contains a wealth of resources and industry-specific insights, designed to strengthen awareness and momentum in the fight against counterfeiting and fraud. The two firms are committed to establishing this as the leading global source for information and actionable intelligence in the war on counterfeiting and brand fraud.

Two central educational awareness-building initiatives are being launched today. The first is "No Consumer Left Behind", a consumer protection rallying theme to focus on the unique problems facing manufacturers of genuine parts, consumer goods, retailers, and pharmaceutical companies. The second initiative is "Commitment to Protect", designed to inspire governments and businesses to take decisive action against the counterfeiting and fraud that impacts the safety of every individual. In coming weeks and months, DSS and EGI have numerous outreach efforts planned around these initiatives.

"Our belief is that our collective efforts of DSS and EGI as well as these two campaigns will result in the growth of a community of enterprise, government and industry leaders committed to fighting the fight, and winning the war against global counterfeiting and fraud," said DSS' Ettinger.
