Lockdown Networks Expands NAC Leadership with New Customers, RSA Success and Strategic Investment; Receives Investment from Intel Capital.

SEATTLE -- Lockdown Networks(R), a leading provider of Network Access Control (NAC) solutions that ensure all users and devices on the network comply with security policies, today announced that it continues to build NAC market momentum and gain recognition for its technology innovation. Following the successful rollout of the Lockdown Sentry(TM) solution for cost-effective remote and branch office NAC at the RSA show in February, Lockdown has shipped product to major accounts, including The Sports Authority, IBM, Digeo, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Today, Lockdown Networks follows on these successes with an investment by Intel Capital.

"Digeo is excited to be using Lockdown Networks Network Access Control products to ensure access to our network is never compromised," said Darren Bolding, principal network architect for Digeo, Inc., a digital entertainment service provider. "While other vendors are tacking on NAC as a feature to their existing products, only Lockdown appears to have a truly integrated, feature-rich and standards-based NAC solution. With its out-of-band architecture and standards-driven philosophy, Lockdown Networks continues to build upon their ability to deliver finely nuanced policy enforcement throughout the enterprise, making them a compelling solution in the market."

In addition to these recent customer successes, Lockdown Networks has also received investment funding from Intel Capital. This investment provides additional financial resources and furthers Lockdown's ability to offer a comprehensive NAC solution for enterprises. The investment will accelerate Lockdown's sales and marketing execution in the field, ensuring continued growth and market leadership throughout 2006.

Lockdown Networks is currently in the process of developing support for Intel(R) Active Management Technology (AMT) for integration into the Lockdown Enforcer(TM) solution. By integrating Intel's chip-level network access switch with the Lockdown Enforcer, IT administrators will now be able to robustly enforce access policy not only at the switch or wireless access point, but also on the motherboard of endpoint devices.

"Intel's investment in Lockdown Networks strengthens our commitment to endpoint security, maximizing the value of Intel AMT and providing a dynamic, secure solution. By working together, Intel and Lockdown's solutions will enable organizations to meet their primary objective - safe access at every level of the network," said Chris Lawless, senior investment manager for Intel Capital.

NAC has become a critical component of organizations' overall network security architectures due to the rise of the mobile workforce, the need for compliance with government legislation on data protection and the steady increase and sophistication of hacker and virus attacks. These factors all contribute to the challenge of protecting valuable company information and the need to control and enforce which users and devices are accessing the network.

"Waytek chose to include Lockdown as part of its portfolio of security offerings based on our growing customer demand for solutions that enable compliance with regulations such as HIPPA and Sarbanes Oxley," said Dave Eppley, president and CEO, Waytek, Inc. "After a thorough search of solutions that best meet the needs of the market, we are confident that Lockdown provides our customers with an excellent NAC solution, a decision that keeps us in line with our goal to be a trusted advisor to our customers."

"Our recent customer wins, strong showing at RSA, and investment from Intel Capital validates Lockdown Networks position in the NAC space," said Brett Helsel, CEO of Lockdown Networks. "In the NAC market, success depends upon the ability to map demanding customer policy objectives to a standards-based and turnkey enforcement solution that proactively protects all devices on the network, without impacting network performance or scalability. As this investment shows, Intel understands just how crucial this approach is to the future of enterprise security."
