Dublin, Ireland and Dallas, USA, September 7, 2004 - Vordel, the XML Web Services security company, and Entrust, Inc. [NASDAQ: ENTU], a world-leading provider of Identity and Access Management solutions, announced today that a major global distribution agreement has been signed that licenses Entrust to resell and support Vordel products worldwide. Incorporating VordelSecure, the XML gateway, and VordelDirector, the XML security server, into the Entrust® Secure Identity Management Solution portfolio will help enable Entrust to expand a single, high-performance and scalable solution that secures both Web site and Web Service access to its enterprise customers.

Randy Heffner, vice president at analyst group, Forrester, wrote, "Web services applications create a new access channel to business services. Firms should secure the Web services channel within a broader security context to achieve a unified and consistent access policy for business services, stronger access control for business services, and better planning for evolving security solutions."*

The combined solution from Entrust and Vordel means that enterprises will not require separate security architectures for their business services and Web Services applications. It offers a unified, consistent access policy infrastructure to enforce security across existing and new Web and Web Services applications, thereby helping to enable greater efficiencies and cost savings.

"Customers are increasingly using Web Services for improving service levels and reducing costs in transactions with customers and partners," according to Chris Voice, Vice President Identity Management at Entrust. "This agreement allows Entrust to address the security requirement with a single solution leveraging centralized policy to help save customers time and expenses."

The offering represents a key extension to Entrust's Secure Identity Management Solution that provides authentication, authorization and provisioning capabilities. Organizations will have the capability to define authentication and access policy centrally, and have it enforced for both Web and Web Services transactions. Vordel's XML security capabilities can be readily added to Entrust GetAccess™ deployments due to the tight integration between the two product families. This agreement also provides customers with a single point of purchase and global support for their Web and Web Services security needs.

Vic Morris, Vordel CEO, explained how the announcement benefits Vordel: "This agreement will enhance Vordel's sales abilities, and extend Vordel's cross-vertical footprint in a number of important markets. We're especially pleased about the agreement consolidating and enhancing our support offering to our North America customer base."

Entrust and Vordel are hosting a webinar on Wednesday September 8, 2004, at 11:00 EST to outline the specifics of this joint solution offering. To attend, please register here.
