March Madness Heats Up the Competition for Vital Company Bandwidth and Productivity; Secure Computing's SmartFilter and Webwasher Products Help Customers Manage Internet Usage Policies While Preserving Bandwidth.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Secure Computing Corporation (NASDAQ:SCUR), the experts in securing connections between people, applications and networks(TM) today announced that its SmartFilter(R) and Webwasher(R) Secure Content Management suite can help companies manage important bandwidth and maintain employee productivity during high profile events such as college basketball's signature event, the 2006 NCAA Basketball Tournament, which is also known as March Madness(TM).

Beginning March 16, the best college basketball teams in the country will compete for the opportunity to play in the coveted Final Four and, ultimately, the Championship game on April 3. During the three-week March Madness tournament, college hoop fans will have the opportunity to cheer for their favorite team, and this year they'll be able to view the games online for free. All 56 games from the first three rounds of the tournament will be available free-of-charge at the official NCAA Sports Web site. Many of the games, however, take place during work-hours, which can ultimately hamper company productivity and drain essential bandwidth if employees are watching the free streaming content and checking stats.

"Video streaming is a wonderful advancement in technology, but unfortunately not an activity that can carry into the workplace," said Jessica Geronimo, information technology director for Collins Electrical based in Northern California. "We use SmartFilter to help us manage non-business related use of the Internet, such as video streaming. SmartFilter will help us ensure that March Madness will not be tying up all of our bandwidth this month."

Based on polls that show 41 percent of Americans are fans of college basketball, outplacement firm Challenger Gray & Christmas estimates that lost wages for time spent watching basketball games online instead of working could top more than $3.5 billion.

"With the combination of free streaming video and online betting pools, companies could be faced with serious bandwidth and productivity issues, not to mention many organizations' prohibition of Internet gambling in their company policy," said John Doyle, vice president of product marketing for Secure Computing. "Our customers will be able to continue with business-as-usual and not worry about employee distractions on game day."

SmartFilter and Webwasher can help companies manage their Internet usage policies and reduce legal liabilities by allowing them to fully customize categories, such as Gambling and Sports, using SmartFilter's industry leading database.
