Alternate E Source and Blue Ridge Networks Announce Partnership to Bring

Cybersecurity Solutions to Smart Building Technology

Tysons Corner, VA, September 12, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Alternate E Source, provider of Kentix IoT smart
sensor technologies, and Blue Ridge Networks, a Northern Virginia based Cybersecurity company, today
announced a partnership to add a new layer of cybersecurity to Alternate's smart building security product
offerings.

Alternate E Source provides IT-based smart sensor technologies that allow for easy integration into IT
environments as well as open interfaces. The integrated system solution only requires a few components.
No external software is required, which saves cost and effort. The decentralized technical approach
increases reliability and enables high scalability from small to large systems. Where required, IP video
cameras can also be integrated into the systems seamlessly, avoiding system breaks and always providing
the system administrator with synchronous alarm data.

Blue Ridge Networks' LinkGuard solution protects organizations from critical OT and IoT data networks
and the communications between the devices and people that need access to them. With LinkGuard,
organizations can isolate, contain, and cloak critical infrastructure within cryptographic boundaries
(secure enclaves) which mitigates the risk of unauthorized access to the devices and prevents data
exfiltration. Based on the Zero Trust methodology, LinkGuard enables complete and autonomous
protection of critical networks by enabling the network to shield itself from cyber-attacks without
knowledge of the attack vector and without user intervention. Because only previously verified users can
access resources using LinkGuard, network admins are relieved of constant network monitoring and
response.

Together these technologies offer state of the art security protection

Alternate's Innovative Smart Building Security products offer a new holistic concept. The portfolio
includes products for environmental monitoring, online access control, equipment status and power
monitoring. When required, the IoT-based systems also integrate IP video cameras and can be remote
controlled from anywhere. Continuous monitoring, and real time alerting provide ultimate risk mitigation.
These smart sensor devices along with IP cameras form the "end points"; the sentry devices at the
physical level.

“Supplying our web-based devices layered with the Blue Ridge Networks cybersecurity products allows
us to offer a complete solution to support mission critical applications,” said Tanja Lewit, CEO, Alternate
E Source.

Unlimited application possibilities

The combination of Alternate E Source Smart Building Security solutions and Blue Ridge Networks
cybersecurity solutions are suitable for use in any business case, particularly where regulatory
requirements for IT security must be fulfilled. Server and IT rooms, critical areas and even distributed
telecommunication systems can be secured all-round with the combined system solutions. The growing
network edge, need for micro-grids, increased critical infrastructure demands and the coming of 5G are
