Business Editors & High-Tech Writers

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 2002

SecureLogix Corporation announced today that the U.S. Air Force will deploy the SecureLogix(R) ETM(tm) (Enterprise Telephony Management) Platform at bases worldwide.

On Jan. 31, 2002, TRW awarded an initial $2.5 Million equipment purchase order to SecureLogix on behalf of the USAF. This initial purchase order is part of a larger task order awarded to TRW under the ULANA II contract to deploy the ETM(tm) Platform across Air Force bases in the continental U.S. It is anticipated that the initial deployment should be completed by late 2002. Plans are in place to expand the project to numerous overseas Air Force bases as well as the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard.

The state-of-the-art ETM(tm) Platform and bundled application suite provide centralized visibility into the entire voice network infrastructure; offer unparalleled control over voice network usage and security policy enforcement; significantly reduce phone bills and other operational costs; and enable the secure migration to a converged enterprise network. This telecom security and management solution will allow the USAF to address and control all authorized and unauthorized modem use across all deployed installations.

"TRW is very pleased with the opportunity to partner with SecureLogix on this groundbreaking project," said Dan Vaughn of TRW. Under the terms of the task order, SecureLogix Corporation will provide all hardware, software, installation, and training necessary to field the system. TRW, as prime contractor, will lead the ETM deployment team with an aggressive fielding plan to install systems worldwide over the next several months.

Lee Sutterfield, president of SecureLogix, said, "The choice of the ETM(tm) Platform will give the Air Force unprecedented enterprise-wide visibility and control over the use of their phone networks. They will be able to see, log and control every voice, modem, fax or video call coming into or out of their voice network. Because data networks, phone networks and other critical infrastructure can be penetrated and compromised through unsecured phone networks, this deployment has huge security implications for their operations. We also are confident that the enterprise-wide, PBX-independent call detail reporting by call type, coupled with the full remote management architecture, will help them save more money on their operations and phone bills than it will cost to deploy the technology."

The ETM(tm) Platform

The ETM Platform is a PBX-independent, centrally managed platform that IP-enables any private voice network to address longstanding telecom security and management issues. It employs a family of intelligent communications appliances and a growing suite of bundled applications (including the TeleWall(R) Telecommunications Firewall, TeleAudit(R) Reporting and Usage Manager, and TeleView(tm) Infrastructure Manager) in a centrally managed architecture.

The patented TeleWall Telecom Firewall software closes the hacker's "Last Big Back Door" into the internal data network by detecting, logging, alerting, and blocking unauthorized modem, fax, voice, or video traffic. Centrally-defined, rules-based security policies are deployed on all platforms throughout an enterprise from a single management server or client. The TeleWall Telecom Firewall application helps to elevate the problem of unauthorized modems in an enterprise, terminating unauthorized modem traffic and/or alerting system administrators in real time.

Beyond controlling unauthorized modem activity, the TeleWall Telecom Firewall application has the patented ability to log or terminate calls based on several variables: call-type, traffic direction, source number, destination number, duration, or time of day. In addition to helping reduce the number of unauthorized modems, it also provides a new level of security for authorized modems.

By strategic design the TeleWall Telecom Firewall application is centrally managed, providing administrators the ability to maintain the highest levels of security within a rapidly expanding network, while reducing the total cost of resources needed to manage the enterprise. The TeleWall Telecom Firewall helps secure ISDN, PRI, T1, E-1, and analog circuits. The ETM infrastructure is designed to simplify and centralize the management of a complex distributed telecommunications network.
