Filter: CSI's Virtual Video Conference Launched 4/8!

Interactive Sessions Highlighted Security Solutions that Maintain Business Agility

NEW YORK, April 23, 2010 - Filter: CSI's virtual video conference debuted on Thursday, April 8,
2010, and was greeted with enthusiasm from the global marketplace. Using
cutting-edge technology that included streaming video, CSI connected a
community of industry professionals, decision-makers and suppliers from the
information security marketplace. Almost 45% of the 655 registered
professionals actively participated over the course of the four hours of
presentations.

"Our key goal was to provide a cutting-edge educational environment that
supports our members' and attendees' goals of securing leading edge solutions
and processes," said Robert Richardson, director of CSI. "It clearly was
accomplished and we anticipate that 'Filter Events' will become a staple in
our offerings."

This online event provided a forum for hundreds of IT Security
professionals to participate and network globally. Registrants representing
49 countries expressed great satisfaction with the content and the method of
presentation - describing it as "curve-wrecking", as well as "frightening
reality", respectively. Bryan Hooke, president, B. Hooke & Associate
furthered these sentiments by stating, "Conference was well organized,
experts were well versed on their subjects and could clearly convey the key
elements memorably. Very slick."

Lynda Martel, Director of Marketing with DriveSavers and one of Filter's
key sponsors found the content "interesting and compelling". She was proud
and pleased to participate in Filter's debut: "I applaud (CSI) on the event's
content and speakers…the event generated 400 VERY qualified leads for
DriveSavers - so again, kudos to the CSI Team!" Many of these comments were
posted through the live Q&A and chat functions that supported interaction
over the course of the event.

"From a Management perspective, it was exciting for the entire CSI Team
to actually participate and be a part of the action and dialog in the
conference room," commented Robert Richardson. "Collectively, we rarely get
to experience this first-hand - and it was so gratifying when questions
posted from one side of the world were answered immediately by an expert from
the other side of the world! This is exactly the type of interchange we hoped
would happen and it did!"

The video conference content allowed for questions to be fielded through
an online chat/discussion viewed by all participants and also allowed
attendees to privately ask questions of specific speakers - thus providing a
free flow of questions and ideas with an element of privacy that is sometimes
required. The conference program presented attendees with solutions and
information that was "filtered down" (the genesis of "Filter"), thereby
providing an exchange that was both cost and time-efficient. Conference
content included:

    - The Risks of Business Agility
    - Data Breach Notification Laws: From California to Australia
    - Does Recovering the Data Abandon Your Security? Best Practices
    - Using Virtualization for Better Security
    - Clobbering the Cloud
    - Legal Issues in Multi-National Cloud Computing
    - Compliance in the Cloud
