SECURIFY ACHIEVES COMMON CRITERIA EAL3 FROM THE NATIONAL INFORMATION ASSURANCE PARTNERSHIP

CUPERTINO, Calif., April 12, 2006 - Securify®, Inc. today announced that it has achieved a higher Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) from the National Information Assurance Partnership, (NIAP) advancing its placement on the Validated Products List from EAL2 to EAL3. Securify's flagship SecurVantage solution was tested by the independent CygnaCom Security Evaluation Laboratory from September 2005 to February 2006. SecurVantage was one of the first solutions in its class to achieve EAL2 and has now achieved EAL3.

"For half a decade, Securify's solutions have been tested on the battlefield as well as in the war on cybercrime and cyberterrorism," said Buck French, Securify CEO. "Achieving EAL3 status enables us to offer our federal customers and partners one of the strongest solutions for gaining visibility and control of their critical network relationships. The result is unparalleled security coverage against insider threats, targeted application-level attacks, and zero day threats and also increased efficiency for network and security operations."

The NIAP is a program established by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA) to evaluate IT product conformance to international standards. The rigorous and systematic program, publicly known as Common Criteria, is accepted by a number of organizations internationally as a definitive standard for proving that the integrity and security architecture of a technology have been tested and validated against known criteria, performed by an accredited third-party source. SecurVantage has been recognized for the depth and breadth of its capabilities in addressing the crucial security needs of today's complex networks.

"The Common Criteria certification has become a de facto standard due to its systematic and rigorous testing process, used to evaluate a product's security functionality," said Nithya Rachamadugu, Director, CygnaCom Solutions' Security Evaluation Laboratory. "Achieving this new assurance level will enable Securify to showcase the quality and security features of the SecurVantage product to prospects, who will most certainly recognize this international security certification."
