ITC Global Security Secure GBP1 Million Funding From NatWest

Supporting Business Development Under the Government Backed Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme

LONDON, July 7, 2010 - ITC Global Security (www.itcsecurity.com), a specialist
information security and advanced networking firm, has secured GBP1 million
funding from NatWest
(www.natwest.com/business/products/borrowing/helping-your-business/enterprise-finance-guarantee.ashx
), under the Government backed Enterprise Finance Guarantee scheme
(www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/gsdDetail?itemId=1081834978)
(EFG). The funds are allocated for investment in the UK as part of a global
development plan of GBP6.3 million over the next three years. ITC have
identified significant sources of new business growth, largely attributed to
the increased value of the Enterprise Security Infrastructure market, which
is forecast to grow to over GBP18 billion ($27 billion) by 2013 worldwide, at
a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2% between 2008 and 2013. (Note 1)

To capitalise on these business opportunities ITC will develop its
position as a market leader in the cloud computing security arena by
introducing a number of new modular services, and extending its global
capability. Tom Millar, Managing Director, ITC Global Security comments: "ITC
is an established Managed Service Provider (MSP) in a key period of growth.
This additional funding enables us to begin the next development phase and
expand our UK infrastructure, which is the hub of our operations."

In order to support additional customers and services ITC will increase
capacity at their Secure Operating Centre (SOC) based at Canary Wharf,
London. This presents new employment opportunities as the expansion plans are
expected to create 14 jobs ranging from account managers to technical support
and consultancy.

This funding will continue development of its Security Information and
Event Management (SIEM) infrastructure. Tom Millar adds: "SIEM is a key
high-growth sector, with expected CAGR of 26.8% (appliances) and 12.2% (SIEM
software), and a combined value of over GBP1.5 billion ($2.23 billion) by
2013 worldwide. (Note 2) To strengthen our position we are investing in an
additional scalable hardware platform, hosted in a new UK data centre. We
have also appointed a manager to lead the internal development and operation
of this service."

ITC has initiated a series of changes to reinforce global operations
including opening offices in Australia, Canada and Malaysia, and
strengthening the senior management team. These initiatives facilitate the
'follow-the-sun' service model across the three main continents, with
localised facilities and technical support.

Darren Howard, Relationship Manager at NatWest, said: "The EFG scheme is
designed to provide working capital and investment funding to turn sound
business propositions into realities despite the current economic climate.
ITC sought EFG funding to accelerate the expansion of its business, which is
already set to experience growth over their three year plan. I wish them well
as they utilise the funding and the opportunities it will present."

To date, RBS/NatWest have led the field in taking applications for the
EFG scheme and provided nearly half of all loans drawn down.
