Aladdin eSafe the First Content Security Product to Receive UK Government Quality Award

CHICAGO and LONDON, March 8, 2007 - Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALDN) the leader in Software DRM, strong authentication and content security solutions, today announced that its eSafe solution is the first gateway content security product to be awarded the UK Government's Central Sponsor for Information Assurance (CSIA) Claims Tested (CCT) Mark. Under the CCT Mark Scheme, Aladdin eSafe was tested and certified for anti-virus, anti-Trojan, anti-spyware, anti-spam and URL filtering protection.

Through accredited independent testing, the government-quality CCT Mark provides reliable, trusted assurance that chosen information security products meet high standards. According to the CSIA, the UK government arm that administers the CCT Mark, the Scheme targets products and services which may be purchased by the UK public sector including the NHS, education, central government, local authorities and criminal justice.

"Aladdin eSafe's CCT Mark awarded by the UK government stands as a clear differentiator and indication of high quality and commitment to comprehensive, gateway-based content protection," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technologies for the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. "As the first-ever content security product to receive this government certification, Aladdin eSafe reasserts its long-trusted specialty in providing organizations with unmatched protection against Internet threats. Alongside Aladdin's reputation for excellent customer service and reliability, UK governmental agencies and businesses are now provided yet another layer of confidence through our new CCT Mark."

"eSafe Virtual Appliance is a comprehensive gateway solution and the award of the CCT Mark is consistent with the quality of the product. The rigorous testing that it has undergone merely serves to highlight that the product provides multiple layers of protection at a network level equable with real-world testing scenarios," said Chris Thomas, operations director at West Coast Labs, the independent laboratory that performed the testing.

"The Aladdin eSafe CCT Mark product satisfies the minimum assurance requirements for use in systems supporting the Transformational Government programme. The certification allows the product to be used in the Gov Connect programme," said Harvey Mattinson, assistant director, assurance and standards, CSIA.
