SafeNet Reports Third Quarter 2005 Financial Results


Product Announcements

-- SafeNet's SafeEnterprise(TM) SONET/SDH Encryptors were shown to deliver better performance for high-speed, low-latency applications such as disaster recovery, storage area networks, and metro and campus applications than one of the industry's highest performing IPSec routers. The testing, conducted by Rochester Institute of Technology's Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences, confirms that SafeNet's network security devices provide high speed encryption without compromising fiber optic speed or performance. Dr. Luther Troell from RIT's Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences said of the results, "The SafeNet SONET Encryptor outperformed in all areas we tested."

-- SafeNet announced the launch of Sentinel Hardware Keys, a software rights management token that protects software vendors from unauthorized use or distribution of their products. Sentinel Hardware Keys are the first and only hardware tokens to incorporate public key cryptography, AES encryption and internal authentication. The result is an ultra-secure hardware token that still offers the highly flexible licensing for which the SafeNet Sentinel product line is known.

-- SafeNet announced QuickSec(R) Unified, the market's first integrated security platform for network equipment manufacturers. OEM's can now build complete unified threat management appliances for small to medium enterprises that provide high-performance, real-time protection against network security threats in a single device. According to industry analysts, the Compound Annual Growth Rate of unified threat management security appliances between 2003 and 2008 is forecasted to exceed 80%, with security solutions being delivered via appliances to reach 80% by 2007.

-- SafeNet announced its SafeXcel-5140, the market's first Enterprise Security Processor specifically designed for network equipment manufacturers targeting the fast-growing small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) market. Pre-integrated with SafeNet's QuickSec Unified security software, the Enterprise Security Processor enables OEMs to build complete VPN gateways, broadband access devices and home networking equipment, while significantly reducing time-to-market.
