Whale Increases Enterprise Security, Strengthens Endpoint Defenses with Antivirus and Anti-Spyware Protection Through Partnership with CA; Joint Solution Helps Ensure Verification and Remediation of Malicious Code and Network Threats.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Whale today announced an agreement with CA (NYSE: CA) to integrate CA's eTrust Antivirus and eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware protection into Whale's Intelligent Application Gateway products. The combination of eTrust Antivirus and eTrust PestPatrol and Whale-developed, market leading SSL VPN endpoint security will provide enterprises with continually updated protection from the full range of malicious code that threatens enterprise networks today. E[acute accent]Whale's software provides the most secure access solution available with integrated SSL VPN, endpoint security and application security in unified easy-to-deploy and manage offerings. When used in combination with eTrust Antivirus and with eTrust PestPatrol technology, Whale's Intelligent Application Gateways will help ensure that inbound and outbound application traffic is free of viruses and other forms of malware. E[acute accent]eTrust Antivirus provides comprehensive virus protection from the perimeter to the PDA, automating administrative tasks and signature updates to ensure continuous, up-to-the-minute protection from emerging malware threats. eTrust PestPatrol provides essential additional protection against spyware, adware, denial-of-service attacks and other "backdoor" threats. E[acute accent]"Partnering with a best-in-class company such as CA allows Whale to continue to provide the market's foremost and complete gateway products used by leading enterprises to securely extend their business productivity," said Roger Pilc, Whale's CEO. "By incorporating eTrust Antivirus and eTrust PestPatrol as part of this complete solution, we are enabling enterprises to bolster their security when providing employees, partners and customers anywhere access to business critical applications. Whale's easy to install and manage solutions do this while being transparent to the end-user." E[acute accent]Whale is lauded as a clear leader in the SSL VPN market for its best-of-breed Whale developed endpoint security technology. This technology, which includes its cache cleaner, secure logoff, and antivirus check, provides granular visibility into the endpoint, allowing administrators to implement policy based on the health and status of the endpoint. These Whale developed capabilities combined with eTrust Antivirus and eTrust PestPatrol provide unprecedented endpoint security, ensuring that malicious code and other threats are not disguised within ostensibly legitimate traffic. E[acute accent]The Whale-CA unified SSL VPN solutions' endpoint security features include:

E[acute accent]--Policy-driven access based on endpoint threat detection

E[acute accent]--Complete real-time virus coverage from the perimeter

E[acute accent]--Dynamic remediation based on the antivirus and anti-spyware status of the endpoint

E[acute accent]--Integrated, Web-based management console

E[acute accent]--Efficient signature update, distribution and ease of installation

E[acute accent]--Automatic updates and on-demand scanning

E[acute accent]"While businesses struggle to defend themselves against the rising tide of increasingly diverse cyber-threats, they also need to avoid fragmentation and complexity in their enterprise security implementations," said Sam Curry, vice president of security management at CA. "By working together, CA and Whale are addressing both of these key concerns - providing a simple yet sophisticated solution for comprehensive, integrated endpoint protection."
