Linux System Lock Down Tool

Security Blanket Now Available to Government and Commercial Organizations
via Carahsoft's GSA Schedule or Direct Purchase

Herndon, VA - April 29, 2008 - Trusted Computer Solutions, Inc. (TCS), a
leader in building security applications that run on the Linux operating
system, today announced that it has partnered with Carahsoft Technology
Corp. to resell its Security Blanket product to government and commercial
customers.  

Security Blanket, an automated system lock down and security management tool
for Linux operating systems, enables systems administrators to automatically
configure and enhance the security of their Linux operating platforms by
simplifying the "hardening" process that must be undertaken on a regular
basis to meet security compliancy requirements. "We selected Carahsoft as
our first reseller based on their proven track record in providing
outstanding service to clients and their commitment to representing only
high-caliber, non-competing solutions," said Ed Hammersla, Chief Operating
Officer for TCS.  "In addition, we believe there is great synergy between
Security Blanket and Carahsoft's current portfolio of Linux-based solutions
that will lead to increased awareness and sales of the product.  With the
growing need for security compliance in the government and commercial IT
sectors, we want to make it easy for customers to buy and deploy Security
Blanket.  The agreement with Carahsoft enables us to accomplish this
objective."

"As the master GSA schedule holder and distributor for Red Hat, Carahsoft is
pleased to add Security Blanket to our growing portfolio of open source
solutions," said Craig P. Abod. "The Security Blanket tool is an excellent
choice for customers running Red Hat Enterprise 4 or 5 who are interested in
continuously improving their security posture and meeting industry
compliance requirements."

Carahsoft will add Security Blanket to the Carahsoft Technology Corp. GSA IT
Schedule Solicitation FCIS-JB-980001B effective November 19, 2004 through
November 19, 2009, providing an easy purchasing vehicle for government
customers.  Commercial companies can also purchase Security Blanket directly
from Carahsoft.
