Secure Mail Suite Available with New Version of
Award Winning Secure Linux Operating System

Allendale, New Jersey---March 3, 2003---Guardian Digital, Inc., the leading 
open source security company, today announced the availability of the 
Guardian Digital Secure Mail Suite, the industry’s most secure and 
cost-effective email platform. Designed to meet the needs of small 
businesses, enterprise level companies, ISPs and ASPs looking to secure and 
manage corporate email operations, Secure Mail Suite is capable of managing 
all email functions within an organization. The suite increases employee 
productivity by simplifying management and drastically reducing junk mail, 
virus and Internet threats. Secure Mail Suite is currently available with 
Guardian Digital’s EnGarde Secure Linux v1.5, the newest version of the 
company’s award winning secure Linux server operating system.

“Guardian Digital is unique because its products are built with open source 
code," said Bill Claybrook, research director, UNIX and Linux, Aberdeen 
Group.  “While many believe this makes the product insecure, it in fact 
makes it more secure since many more developers are on the lookout for 
potential security breaches.  For companies looking to implement a secure 
system at a fraction of the cost, Guardian Digital offers a solid option.”

The cornerstone of Guardian Digital’s Secure Mail Suite is a robust, 
integrated anti-virus and anti-spam technology that scans all incoming and 
outgoing transmissions for junk mail, viruses, malicious code and file 
attachments and offensive content. Secure Mail Suite offers simplified 
administration capabilities to build a complete enterprise Internet mail 
environment and is engineered to scale to thousands of users and 
domains.  Through its use of advanced access control and authentication 
mechanisms, comprehensive auditing and reporting features, as well as 
encrypted communications facilities, Secure Mail Suite delivers protection 
from constantly evolving online threats for both internal and external mail 
systems.

“The perils relating to enabling email and Internet connectivity in the 
workplace have increased over recent years, so the need to quickly secure 
our corporate network and email became a high priority for us,” said Lars 
Baan, vice president of operations at Aalborg Instruments. “Guardian 
Digital carefully reviewed our security needs and implemented their 
cutting-edge technology rapidly and for a fraction of the cost of 
comparable solutions. The security suite is very stable, reliable and 
requires almost no administration. We now have excellent control of our 
email and network security, and Guardian Digital's customer support has 
been truly outstanding!”

  “Secure Mail Suite is the most secure and cost effective option for 
companies looking to eliminate junk mail and manage everyday threats from 
viruses that will bring the productivity levels of unsuspecting 
individual’s to a screeching halt,” said Dave Wreski, CEO of Guardian 
Digital, Inc. “Our mission is to continue providing companies with robust 
Linux-based products that are not only cost effective but also offer the 
highest levels of security, scalability and ease-of-management.”

·       Build full-featured ISP, ASP, departmental or enterprise mail systems.
·       Simple and secure Web-based management for all functions.
·       Comprehensive anti-spam protection utilizing dozens of technologies
