Extensive Patent Portfolio Confirms Industry Leading Position
New York, NY - January 16, 2008

Orchestria, the leader in the rapidly growing Electronic Control software category, announced today that it has secured more than 20 of its 48 patent applications for many of the techniques pioneered by Orchestria, including those used in its data loss prevention (DLP) solution.

Orchestria's latest series of patents builds on a growing patent portfolio that helps organizations eliminate the risks from uncontrolled electronic actions by helping to secure confidential data, ensure message compliance, institute proper legal hold, and provide robust records management.

"Orchestria has a large installed customer base, which speaks to its competency in managing agents and getting them to play nicely with both the OS and other applications," said Nick Selby, Senior Analyst and Director Enterprise Security Practice of The 451 Group. "The scope of its product - both architecturally (at host and gateway) and from an information standpoint (from classification to identification to its work towards litigation hold and data destruction) - speaks to the credibility of its offering." This comment appeared in an independent report, titled "Orchestria evolves into full-blown hybrid anti-data leakage tool," which was published on January 16, 2008 (see Editor's Note below).

"Our extensive patent portfolio is a result of the substantial investment we have made in research and development over the last seven years," said Bo Manning, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orchestria. "This investment represents 250 plus person-years of effort focused on providing our customers with the most comprehensive, mature, accurate and scalable solutions available today."

The granted and allowed patents cover many of the techniques pioneered by Orchestria, for deployment on user desktop and laptop endpoints, including blocking transmission of unprotected sensitive data, regulating encryption, providing authorization, monitoring and centralized recording of transactions, and verifying and controlling the use of digital certificates.

Using these techniques, organizations can substantially mitigate data loss, compliance, and legal risks associated with uncontrolled electronic actions such as message, Web, and file activity. In addition, Orchestria's integrated architecture has been tested and proven at a massive scale within many of the world's largest, most security-minded organizations. Patents have been granted or allowed in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and other patent jurisdictions.
