               Fortressware Announces Workgroup Fortress,
             Data Protection for Online, Offline, and Mobile Users

Workgroup Fortress is the first anti-data propagation solution for all distributed
collaborators, employees and nonemployees, working inside or outside a
corporate firewall, enabling them to share sensitive content securely, without
leaking it through such methods as printing, writing to portable devices, or
attaching to instant messages.

Mountain View, CA, June 17, 2008 -- Fortressware, the leader in providing data
protection for on-site, off-site, and mobile users anywhere, today announced the
availability of Workgroup Fortress 3.0. Workgroup Fortress enables business
users to set up secure projects quickly and easily by themselves so they can
distribute the information required to do their jobs effectively, without fear of
leaking sensitive content.

"From first hand experience, I have seen companies fail to take full advantage of
the Internet as a tool to leverage the lower costs and critical skill sets available
through distributed business relationships, simply because they don't feel
confident that their high value data assets will be secure," said Dr. Ronald
Chwang, Chairman and President of iD Ventures America. "Workgroup Fortress
provides a unique solution for firms making their IP and proprietary information
available where it's needed globally, while maintaining virtual control over it
against inadvertent or malicious leaking."

Workgroup Fortress goes beyond the endpoints. It uniquely addresses the
challenge of managing sensitive content securely outside a corporate firewall at
the full array of today's "use points" - for example, off-site employees, partners,
suppliers, and consultants. By encrypting data as it makes its way to a use point,
and monitoring and blocking its propagation when accessed, Workgroup Fortress
provides the assurance that intellectual property, customer data, and other
information assets are protected from the point of origin to the point of use. It
provides a complete and consistent level of security, as data is in motion, at rest,
and in use, regardless of whether a user is working online or offline, behind or
outside a firewall.

Ann Ting, Fortressware's President and CEO, observed "We took a fresh look at
the data leakage problem in a distributed collaborative environment where
people from different companies must have access to each other's private
information for a period of time. We got the message loud and clear that a real
solution had to work anywhere and anytime, without impacting an individual's
productivity. This led us to a novel approach. Workgroup Fortress continuously
tracks how a user interacts with secure data, noting any applications that come
into contact with it. Once an application is thus "marked" we block it from being
used to propagate secure data anywhere - to local or remote drives, instant
messaging, email, and so on. Unlike DRM type products, it doesn't matter to us
what applications are used - we're completely agnostic, which is essential for
meeting our customers' requirements."

Workgroup Fortress is designed for groups of any size or duration - department,
project, or ad hoc - that has an immediate need to secure content it is receiving,
creating, and distributing. Set up is quick, so that sensitive information can be
controlled from the start of a project. Users continue their existing work practices,
simultaneously handling non-sensitive information without restriction, while they
handle secured information in the prescribed manner. Workgroup Fortress
provides a complete solution for securing confidential information. It also
complements installed discovery or gateway security products by elevating the
level of protection to include shared information, both inside and outside the
firewall.

Workgroup Fortress includes the following components:
- Fortress, the client software, enforces information security policies at the use
point.
- Policy Server - enables the rapid creation, administration, management and
replication of access policies
- Connection Server - encrypts and decrypts all data exchanges with designated
servers

Workgroup Fortress is available immediately. Pricing information is available by
calling the company at 650.472.3886, ext 488.
