- Forum Sentry XML Gateway is Only Product with Automated Policy
Migration

- Comprehensive Replacement Program Features Direct Trade-in Credit for
Any XML Vendor Gear, No-cost Training, Best Practices and Migration Guide

On the heels of the milestone last ship date for the Cisco ACE XML
Gateway, Forum Systems (www.forumsys.com/) , a wholly owned subsidiary
of Crosscheck Networks, Inc. (www.crosschecknet.com/), today announced
an extension of its Cisco ACE XML Gateway Replacement Program
(www.forumsys.com/products/cisco_ace_replacement.php ) to facilitate a
successful, effective migration path from the end-of-life product.

Effective now through December 31, 2011, highlights of the program
include:

    - Automated Policy Migration - Forum Systems' Forum Sentry XML Gateway
      (www.forumsys.com/products/xmlgateway.php) is the only product
      that can import hundreds of policies directly from the ACE XML Gateway,
      greatly reducing migration time, cost and risk.

    - Extensive ebXML and CPA Support - Featuring support for the Electronic
      Business XML Business Process Specification Schema and the
      Collaboration Protocol Agreement, Forum Sentry allows users from any
      size organization, in any location, to safely and securely conduct
      business through the exchange of XML-based messages.

    - Integrated XML Gateway and WAF - For enterprises that require the
      threat protection, scalability and Federated Identity capabilities of
      an XML Gateway combined with the security of a Web Application
      Firewall, Forum Sentry WAF
      (www.forumsys.com/products/web_application_firewall_next_gen.php)
      unites those capabilities in one appliance. Removing the identity and
      security burden from Web sites and composite applications, Forum Sentry
      WAF authenticates and authorizes users invoking services - regardless
      of where the services reside - enabling the secure, rapid delivery of
      rich online content.

    - Centralized Management and Monitoring - With detailed reporting and
      alerting on the performance and latency characteristics of services as
      well as SLA enforcement, Forum Sentry provides enterprises with a
      unified, 360-degree view into business function and the health of
      integration with their trading partners.

"In anticipation of the final, critical ACE XML Gateway milestone - that
software maintenance will be ceasing on January 31 - we are empowering
enterprises with the ability to leverage their existing IT and policy
life-cycle components in order to facilitate a gradual, secure migration,"
said Mamoon Yunus, CEO of Crosscheck Networks. "By offering best-practice
tools and techniques backed by a resource-rich replacement program, our
mission is to ensure a smooth and successful migration path to Forum Sentry."
