WORKSHARE ANNOUNCES CERTIFICATION FOR WORKSHARE PROTECT ENTERPRISE SUITE ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA

Outbound Security Functionality Offers Protection Methodology against Sensitive Content

San Francisco—October 12, 2006—Workshare today announced that it has developed a new version of Workshare Protect Enterprise Suite designed to leverage the unique capabilities inherent in Microsoft Windows Vista. Protect Enterprise will be submitted to Microsoft for official certification under the “Certified for Windows Vista” logo program.

Workshare Protect Enterprise is a premier policy-based outbound content security solution that provides content filtering on privacy, intellectual property and financial disclosures; eliminates the risk of visible and hidden data leaks; provides on-demand and on e-mail PDF conversion, and document rights restrictions through the Microsoft Rights Management Services. By implementing Protect Enterprise, high-profile organizations in financial services, government, professional services and other information intensive industries can ensure that they are secure from the embarrassment, financial risk and liability of confidential information leaks, both at the end-point and the network.

“As intellectual property increasingly is the core differentiator for modern businesses, data leakage quickly becomes one of the largest risks facing businesses today,” said Brian Spector, vice president of strategic alliances at Workshare. “Our combined network and end-point approach to security enables users and network administrators alike to understand the policy and security enforcement process, and to provide a comprehensive line of defense in data leakage across the entire network. By working with Microsoft, we ensure users have the latest tools to help protect against unintentional and malicious loss of data.”

“Products bearing the Certified for Windows Vista logo, like Workshare’s Protect Enterprise Suite, assist Microsoft in delivering the Windows Vista experience to businesses and consumers,” said Dave Wascha, director of partner marketing for Windows Vista at Microsoft Corp. “We are pleased to have Workshare’s content security solution join our portfolio of applications that take advantage of these important features and technologies available in Windows Vista and assist in making the overall computing experience easier, safer and more reliable.”
