DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 2, 2003

GROUP Technologies, a worldwide provider of e-mail content security, management and organization software, today announced iQ.Suite Version 3, which fully supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The new iQ.Suite strengthens the e-mail security features of Exchange 2003 by providing anti-spam and anti-virus protection, and content filtering on both server and e-mail messaging platforms. GROUP will demonstrate iQ.Suite 3 at Microsoft Tech-Ed 2003 (Booth #755).

"iQ.Suite 3 is significant in that iQ.Suite 3 for Exchange 2003 demonstrates GROUP's commitment to Microsoft users, and iQ.Suite 3 for SMTP delivers GROUP's comprehensive e-mail security to all of our customers regardless of their messaging platform," said Jurgen Wege, CEO and founder of GROUP Technologies, "The ability to block inappropriate inbound and outbound e-mails and stop the distribution of such content within an organization helps to build and enforce a strong defense against breaches in confidentiality and provides an effective weapon for fighting spam, viruses, and offensive content," continued Wege.

iQ.Suite 3 Features

Running under Windows 2000 Server SP3 or higher, iQ.Suite 3 complements the manageability of Exchange 2003 with simplified administrative and installation procedures, improved operation and performance, and optimized message processing. These features combined with iQ.Suite's anti-spam, content filtering and legal disclaimers help to drive down total cost of ownership (TCO). Included within the new iQ.Suite 3 for Exchange are:

-- securiQ.Wall for enhanced spam detection including the ability

to identify suspicious HTML formatting, analyze archived files

such as ZIP and ARJ, manage white lists, and scan headers.

-- securiQ.Watchdog with improved filtering for files such as

GIF, Word, and Excel and the ability to run in parallel with

up to eight virus engines.

-- securiQ.Trailer, which helps companies comply with emerging

government regulations such as HIPAA, is the only product for

Exchange 2003 that generates company-wide, consistent sender

signatures for all outgoing e-mail.

iQ.Suite 3 for SMTP features the LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF). LDIF enables independence from Active Directory Access and allows network administrators to easily create sender/recipient rules. "SMTP support adds tremendous value to iQ.Suite's offerings and gives our customers a one-stop solution in meeting all of their e-mail security challenges," noted Wege.

"GROUP Technologies continues to deliver strong solutions for Exchange customers," said Chris Baker, group product manager of Exchange at Microsoft Corp. "The new iQ.Suite 3 extends the security, availability and reliability provided by the Exchange 2003 platform. Together we are delivering solutions that effectively lower TCO for our mutual customers."
