Holocom Networks Announces Name Change for Line of Security Products; New Names Better Reflect Holocom's Expanded IT Network Security Services: Preventing Information Assaults from Insider Threats.

SAN DIEGO -- Holocom Networks announced today that it has changed the name of its Protected Distribution System (PDS) to the Holocom Networks(R) Secure PathWay(TM) and its Holocom MultiDomain PC to the Holocom Networks(R) Secure MultiNet(TM) PC. Also accompanying the name change is the release of new logos that build on existing brand equity.

"An organization's survival in the age of information technology depends on its ability to protect valuable data," said G. Bradford Saunders, president and CEO for Holocom Networks. "We chose our new product names to better convey that Holocom is the industry leader in physically protecting classified networks."

According to data-loss statistics by Ernst and Young, at least 60 percent of all successful security intrusions originate from within an organization, resulting in the largest losses of data to both government and industry sectors alike. Once inside, a thief can wreak havoc by bypassing the hardware protecting network cables or the security software of a computer's operating system.

Secure PathWay(TM) is a metal 2" by 2" channel-based, interlocking, modular raceway system with cable lay-in capabilities, enclosing and protecting secure network connections and cables. When the Secure PathWay is used to create a Protected Distribution System (PDS), the solution begins at the SIPRNet Distribution Point and ends at the end-user lock box. The Secure PathWay is engineered to meet the "spirit and intent" of NSTISSI No.7003 requirements.

The Secure MultiNet(TM) PC is a standalone desktop computer that is operating system agnostic. Its hardware-based solution with SPI Sentinel(R) Technology meets the government's NSA validated EAL 4 gold standard for security technology. Security elements include a security module, smart card interface and removable hard drives.
