Egress Switch Completes Secure Collaboration Portfolio

Award Winning Next Generation Collaboration Software Expands Portfolio to Include Secure Large File Transfer, Message Body Encryption, and Data Classification

LONDON and CHICAGO, May 17, 2010 - Egress Software Technologies, an innovator in secure data exchange,
announced today the availability of Egress Switch 2.0. This latest version
incorporates key features to enable organisations the ability to protect and
classify confidential information sent by email, CD/DVD, USB, or uploaded to
internal/Cloud Servers.

The influx of 'point solutions' designed to cater for specific data
exchange mechanisms, such as email, or large file transfer, has done little
to reduce the alarming number of reported data loss incidents. Research
indicates that the percentage of data loss cases attributed to third-party
negligence has now grown to 36% and is 20% more costly to recover. To address
this challenge, Egress Switch enables businesses to share information
securely by offering real-time auditing and complete control wherever the
data resides.

Highlighted new features include:

- Secure Large File Transfer

Expanding on our 'one click' mantra to sharing information securely,
sending large files is now easier than ever. Better still, not only will
recipients be notified automatically, but information owners are also able to
track user activity and revoke access in real-time - even once the files have
been downloaded.

- Message Body Encryption

Email message body encryption has now been added to enable users the
ability to encrypt sensitive messages without the need to learn any new
processes. Identity based encryption creates an automatic and seamless
association between authorised recipients and encrypted data, removing the
need for cumbersome password management.

- Customisable Security Labels

Security labelling has been added to enable users the ability to classify
confidential data in one single operation. This functionality gives Switch
administrators the flexibility they require to define bespoke policy rules
and data classifications centrally, removing any unnecessary complication
from end users.

- Configurable Recipient Policy Notes

The very nature of business collaboration often requires sensitive data
to be placed in the hands of third parties. By offering fully configurable
and centrally audited policy disclaimers, Switch users can now enforce that
recipients take full responsibility when handling confidential information.

- Improved Usability

Our experience with customers tells us that simple security is the most
successful security. Enhanced authentication embedded into core business
workflow enables users to easily adopt protection of data and embrace
information security when performing daily tasks.

"We're excited about offering these new services to our growing customer
base. Sharing confidential information securely using a variety of exchange
mechanisms remains a common requirement," said Tony Pepper, CEO for Egress
Software Technologies. "Switch provides seamless encryption of outbound data
regardless of file size or transport mechanism and keeps you in complete
control at all times. In a tough climate with harsh penalties for data loss
that endanger the very existence of many businesses, this is the protection
our customers demand."

Delivered as a software service to minimize overall cost, Egress Switch
goes beyond the capabilities of traditional encryption products. Pepper
continues, "Our patented innovation paves the way for businesses and
individuals to share information securely."

Egress Switch offers complete protection of outbound data regardless of
file size or transport mechanism. Using AES 256-bit encryption, Switch
secures confidential information sent by email, copied to USB removable
media, burnt to CD/DVD, or uploaded to FTP/Cloud Servers. Information owners
can then set or change security policies through a service in the Cloud.
Security policies include real-time user and package management, even after
the information is sent or shared. This allows users to instantly 'pull
information back' should audit events suggests the data has been lost or
mishandled.

Egress Switch also offers integrated data classification and customisable
end user policy disclaimers. This next generation level of control and
ease-of-use not only mitigates the risk of unintentional data loss, but also
enforces recipient responsibility when handling confidential information.
