Allendale, New Jersey, May 8th 2007

Guardian Digital, Inc., the world's pioneer in open source security solutions, today announced the latest innovation of its product portfolio with the launch of EnGarde Secure Linux: Community Edition, a freely-available version of its award-winning platform solution for unprecedented enterprise security. EnGarde is the only enterprise-class, Linux-based secure platform for managing a complete Internet presence featuring Web-based management flexibility and SELinux functionality.

EnGarde Community forms the basis of Guardian Digital's enterprise offerings and leverages the best open source tools and applications available to provide secure Internet connectivity, user privacy, Internet services (Web, DNS, and email), as well as intrusion detection. Security enhancements at the kernel-level, including protection from buffer overflow and many other types of vulnerabilities, provide the most effective form of prevention available.

"The proactive security improvements inherent into its design are one of the primary factors in the success of EnGarde," writes Ryan W. Maple, vice president of engineering at Guardian Digital. "Coupled with the most sophisticated open source security tools and Web-based management available, EnGarde consistently protects users from even the most advanced blended threats."

Guardian Digital WebTool, a browser-based interface used to securely manage network and server operations, allows for ease of management, especially for its foundation in SELinux, a notable problem with most platforms.

Features include:

• Email, Web, DNS, VPN security and more.
  
• Complete Network Intrusion Detection with AJAX interface.
  
• Robust SELinux policy engine
  
• WebTool: point-and-click maintenance and configuration for the utmost in manageability.
