BlueGem Security Press Release Date – October 3, 2007

BlueGem Security’s LocalSSL™ transaction security software becomes a key security feature of the brand new Trend Micro Internet Security Pro.

Sunnyvale, CA -- October 3, 2007 -- BlueGem Security Inc. has entered into an OEM agreement with Trend Micro Inc. to supply its patented LocalSSL™ PRO software.

“We have worked with BlueGem Security to integrate their proven keystroke encryption software into Trend Micro Internet Security Pro, our new flagship product, so that we can take the fight against identity theft to the next level,” said Carol Carpenter, Vice President of Global Marketing for Trend Micro’s Consumer Business Unit.

With BlueGem’s LocalSSL™ Software as a Service (SaaS) based endpoint transaction security software, companies now have access to a market proven and rigorously tested solution that finally protects  confidential information that the end user enters into their computer.  LocalSSL™ incorporates keystroke encryption, domain authentication, strong visual cues that reassure users and intelligent malware protection into one package.  LocalSSL proactively prevents today’s sophisticated hacking attacks that target the end user’s computer (endpoint) for financial gain.

LocalSSL™ - SaaS Based Endpoint Transaction Security
LocalSSL™ is one of the first SaaS based security solutions and as the security industry embraces this trend, is well positioned to take advantage of it.  LocalSSL™ can be easily deployed as a stand alone solution or in conjunction with other security software and is fully scaleable.

LocalSSL™ is a Proactive Security Solution
LocalSSL encrypts user entered information from the point of data entry at the keyboard.  Existing secure browser encryption solutions such as SSL (https) or PKI, only encrypt the information that travels between the browser and the web server, which leaves the endpoint vulnerable to malicious spyware that can steal confidential user transaction information.  The problem is that the majority of today’s sophisticated hacking attacks are targeted at the endpoint and it is estimated that over 70% are for financial gain and 80% of new malware escapes detection.  LocalSSL is a simple, but powerful security solution that protects end users from the latest malicious software threats without the need for significant infrastructure augmentation or bulky software installation.

What LocalSSL™ Secures the End User’s Computer
LocalSSL™ encrypts every keystroke with a 128 bit encryption algorithm and also uses domain authentication to guard against phishing attacks.  It not only protects login and password information from interception, but unlike other security solutions, also protects all other confidential information that the customer may enter during their online session.  This can include account numbers, Social Security number, date of birth and mothers maiden name, that is often asked for when signing up for a new account, loan or credit card online.

Market Proven and Rigorously Tested
LocalSSL has been deployed by companies to protect the confidential information of their end users accessing their accounts online and for employees remotely accessing corporate information through a VPN.  Our in-market record and rigorous independent testing have proven LocalSSL’s ability to protect against the most insidious hacking threats.
