Computacenter with Technology Partner Egress Software, Awarded Contract to

Deliver Email Encryption & Secure Large File Transfer

Egress Switch selected as the product of choice to enable public sector organisations the ability to
share confidential data securely with third parties.

London, United Kingdom, April 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Egress Software Technologies, in partnership
with Europe's leading IT services provider Computacenter, announced today that they are in the final
stages of signing contracts with multiple London Councils to provide email encryption & secure large file
transfer services designed to help improve communication between local Government and external third
parties.

“Local Authorities across London fully recognise the need to replace legacy systems such as courier
services and fax machines which are often still used to share confidential data externally,” said Ruth
Jones, Projects and Development Manager for Camden Council.

The procurement was orchestrated by Capital Ambition and ISfL and the subsequent invitation to quote
(ITQ) was led by the London Borough of Camden utilising the Office of Government Commerce buying
Solutions (OGCBS) Framework.

Jones continues, “The time was right to put an end to fragmented and ineffective point solutions and
promote a collaborative information security strategy as part of an ongoing commitment to improve
service delivery. These new and exciting services will help connect public and private sector
organisations, giving Local Councils the confidence they need when sharing sensitive data.”

Using a combination of public and private cloud infrastructure, Egress Software Technologies offer a
range of products and services designed to enable individuals and organisations the ability to share
information securely.

Ruth Jones and Steven Blantz, the Category Manager for ICT at the London Borough of Camden
explained that “Having evaluated several secure email and file transfer products we selected Egress
Switch because of its value for money, versatility, ease of use, flexible licensing model, and unique
'follow the data' protection.”

Unlike other data security products on the market, Egress Switch extends your visibility and control,
enabling organisations to reduce risk when distributing information to third parties.

“We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to provide London boroughs with a unified
mechanism to share confidential data,” said Tony Pepper, CEO for Egress Software Technologies. “By
working together and embracing technology, Councils throughout the UK can not only support the
environment and demonstrate significant cost savings, but also adopt Government approved standards in
the fight against data loss.”

Unlike conventional software which protects data in transit, Egress Switch offers control and real-time
auditing throughout the lifecycle of sensitive data, preventing unnecessary loss at the hands of third
parties. Pepper continues, “Whether infrastructure is installed locally or hosted in the Cloud, Egress
remains committed to supporting the needs of individuals or Enterprise users, and determined to deliver
versatile security solutions that can align themselves with evolving business needs.”

Operating in a market defined by compliance yet driven by convenience, Switch continues to prove that
security can be embedded into day-to-day business communication without the need to install costly
infrastructure. Using AES 256-bit encryption, Switch secures confidential information sent by email,
copied to USB removable media, burnt to CD/DVD, or uploaded to FTP/Cloud Servers. Access
privileges can then be modified or revoked in real-time, even after the information is sent or shared. This
allows users to instantly "pull information back" should there be evidence that data has been lost or
mishandled.

Egress Switch also offers data classification and customisable disclaimer notifications, making email
encryption, media encryption, and large file transfer more secure and easier than ever. This next
generation level of control, combined with integrated workflow features, mitigates the risk of
unintentional data loss and enforces recipient responsibility when handling confidential information.
