Johannesburg, 17 Feb 2006

CipherTrust Inc, the global market leader in messaging security, today announced the appointment of Cypher Data Solutions as a South African distributor. South Africa represents a key opportunity for the development and growth of the CipherTrust messaging security product suite, and the relationship with Cypher Data underscores CipherTrust`s commitment and focus in this region.

Cypher Data is wholly committed to, and focused on, the distribution and support of CipherTrust`s flagship e-mail security gateway appliance, IronMail, as well as the complete CipherTrust messaging security product suite. Cypher Data`s management and staff have more than 20 years experience within the South African enterprise messaging security market, having established their personal reputations and business success on the deployment of superior levels of technical sales and support to their channel partners and the end-user.

Johannes Holtzhausen, Business Development Consultant at Cypher Data, comments: "Cypher Data is dedicated to the supply and support of CipherTrust solutions. Our business objective is to become the authoritative distributor of enterprise messaging security solutions on the African continent and we firmly believe the CipherTrust solution portfolio will enable us to do that. Our plans are to aggressively promote CipherTrust to prospects and resellers, an approach, we believe, will enable us to garner a strong African foothold for a brand that is well established in the rest of the world."

Says Jonathan Whitley, CipherTrust`s African Regional Sales Manager: "South Africa is a key market for CipherTrust and we believe that Cypher Data will be instrumental in the region`s growth.
