NFR Security's Sentivist 5.0 Intrusion Prevention System Named ''Hot Pick'' by Information Security Magazine.

ROCKVILLE, Md. -- NFR Security, the leader in Real-Time Threat Protection(TM), announced today that its award-winning Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Sentivist 5.0, has been named the "Hot Pick" by Information Security magazine in its March 2006 issue. Editors singled out the new 5.0 version of Sentivist as a "Hot Pick" because the enterprise security solution is suitable for any sized organization, includes environment-aware attack assessment, vulnerability scanning, and the most impressive IPS User Interface they have seen. Information Security editors award the "Hot Pick" for an information security product that offers a unique approach to a persistent security problem and addresses the problem with a realistic solution that can be implemented in everyday IT environments. To read the complete review, see http://www.nfr.com.

Sentivist(TM) 5.0 is the industry's first intrusion prevention system that includes the Dynamic Shielding Architecture(TM) (DSA), a technology that is Aware of the network, Adapts to changes on the network and can take Action to protect the threat points including critical vulnerabilities and unsanctioned network changes from inevitable attack. This new feature within Sentivist provides essential information to the security manager to protect their networks in real-time, including alerts on all endpoints with critical vulnerabilities, and alerts on any changes that have occurred on the network. NFR Security's Sentivist product is the only IPS on the market today that addresses the four critical threats that target an enterprise's network, including automated malware, information theft, existing vulnerabilities and volatility of network changes.

Information Security editors noted several reasons for selecting Sentivist 5.0 for the Hot Pick:

--Sentivist 5.0 improves on an excellent product with enterprise-grade sensors, the ability to assess network-wide attacks and an improved interface.

--The analyst console for NFR is the most impressive they have seen, providing real-time views into a particular sensor or all sensors at the click of a mouse. Users also have the ability to dissect the attack and alert data into common groups.

--The Sentivist interface contains all the slick benefits of Java, with adjustable windows, drag-and-drop functionality, and customization.

--With Sentivist 5.0, NFR has made itself a formidable player in the IDS/IPS market, appealing to both large enterprises and resource-poor SMBs.

"Winning Information Security's HOT PICK for the second year in a row validates that our Sentivist product is the new leader in IPS enterprise class solutions," said Andre Yee, President of NFR Security. "With Sentivist 5.0 we are delivering a security technology that addresses and protects against every threat, both internal and external to any enterprise.
