Industry’s Most Cost-Effective Hosted Email Solution Built on Proven and Feature Rich Technology

Milford, CT, June 29, 2009 – USA.NET, a subsidiary of Perimeter, the leading provider of integrated messaging and collaboration services, today announced the availability of an enhanced version of its Commercial Messaging Service (CMS) 2.0, a lower cost webmail alternative to other business email solutions such as Microsoft Exchange, GroupWise and LotusNotes offerings.

“CMS 2.0 is a feature rich hosted messaging solution bundled with the best-in-class anti-virus and spam protection, as well as mobility, in one simple hosted package that includes the same attributes as other hosted email solutions on the market at a notably lower price. It’s a rock solid solution that has served hundreds of thousands of customers since it’s inception in 1996,” said Doug Howard, President of USA.NET and Chief Strategy Officer at Perimeter. “And CMS 2.0 can be branded to enforce the consistency with your company’s look and feel, offering the perfect way to build customer and employee loyalty through brand reinforcement. We have several affinity groups, non-profits, franchises and carriers that utilize the service today as part of their continued brand building efforts with their customers and members.”

The hosted email solution comes in two different packages, CMS Web, and CMS Enterprise, that both allow users to access emails from any Web browser with an Internet connection, any desktop email clients including Outlook, Outlook Express, and Entourage, as well as from most wireless devices. Both solutions also allow a high degree of application programming interface integration with customer business applications such as Customer Relationship Management platforms, databases, alerting, among many others.

CMS Web includes multi-layered virus and spam protection, an address book with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) access, auto-responders, scheduled message delivery, flexible mail delivery, administration features and other services. Users can also view their emails from their mobile devices through either a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) webpage designed for CMS, or via POP or IMAP access.

CMS Enterprise includes all the capabilities of the CMS Web solution, with additional features such as wireless and two-way outlook synchronization, calendaring, tasks, notes, web-based reporting and flexible storage allocation capabilities. Add-on features such as encrypted email, content filtering and Instant Messaging, are also available in the CMS Enterprise package.

“In this challenging economy, businesses and affinity groups that rely on email messaging for their business communications need to have access to a full-featured email hosting program that is dependable, feature rich and cost-effective, and that’s exactly what we’re providing. In addition, customers demand high quality 24×7 professional customer service that’s only an email or call away, a clear differentiator for us in this marketplace,” added Howard.

Perimeter Leads Security SaaS Marketplace With Its Aggressive Growth Strategy And It’s Highly Innovative and Unmatched Product Suite

Milford, CT, March 24, 2009 – Perimeter eSecurity‘s CEO, Brad Miller, has been named the 2009 Innovator of the Year by Business New Haven. Perimeter eSecurity, the only provider of complete security on demand, began offering its innovative outsourced security services eight years ago, long before today’s “cloud computing” trend caught on. This head start has put Perimeter at the forefront of providing security and related services in a SaaS model that makes Enterprise class services available to companies at any size.

It was by no means obvious in 2000 that Internet security services would turn into such a huge growth industry. Perimeter decided not only to focus the company on providing security services but also to initially target the financial-services industry, which has always been subject to the toughest regulatory requirements, an innovative strategy which has led to the company’s significant year over year growth. Since then the company has added other verticals such as healthcare, telecommunications, and has built a strong channel partner organization. Perimeter is the only company to offer 50 IT security services in the areas of Vulnerability Defense, Intrusion Defense, Network Defense, Email Defense, System Defense, User Defense, Secure Hosted Email and Email Archiving. Business connected to Perimeter’s network can order these services on demand much like you would order a pay-per-view movie from a cable company.

Profitable since 2001, Perimeter’s revenues have grown an average of 331 percent per year over the last five years. Perimeter reports that the current economic downturn is only increasing the willingness of customers large and small to adopt Perimeter’s software-as-a-service model which requires no CAPEX investment and is provided on an affordable subscription basis.

Perimeter has acquired and successfully integrated 16 companies in the last 6 years, each of which contributed critical technologies such as hosted email, email archiving, and vulnerability assessment, and/or customer base that helped to drive the company’s growth. In 2007 Perimeter received two funding rounds totaling $104 million from Goldman Sachs, Bessemer Ventures and Stripes Group. Over the past several years Perimeter has repeatedly achieved high rankings on Deloitte & Touche’s North American Technology Fast 500 list and on Inc. Magazine’s list of the country’s fastest-growing private companies, and was also positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for MSSPs, North America, 1H07”1 report. Perimeter eSecurity has over 10,000 customers, 3,000 of which are in the financial services industry, and 350 employees.

Mr. Miller was honored at a special reception on March 5th in New Haven. With a bachelor’s degree in economics from Franklin & Marshall College and a master’s degree in business administration from Columbia University School of Business, Miller has also worked as an investment banker at Schroders, PLC and as chief operating officer of PRG, a supplier of entertainment technology products and services.

About Perimeter eSecurity
As the only provider of complete security on demand, Perimeter eSecurity makes security easily available and affordable for all businesses. Perimeter’s on demand security services protect thousands of computer networks nationwide, offering more than 50 different services on a subscription basis in the areas of: Vulnerability Defense, Intrusion Defense, Network Defense, Email Defense, System Defense, User Defense, Secure Hosted Email and Email Archiving. Through its top rated hosted eMessaging provider subsidiary, USA.NET, Perimeter provides custom, mission critical messaging infrastructure to organizations of all sizes. With the proliferation of security threats and technologies, clients benefit from a single-source provider that offers all services through one pre-integrated platform and web portal.

With nine geographically distributed technical offices and three redundant data centers, Perimeter’s services are always available and have been validated by multiple independent third parties.

Delivers Secure, Device Agnostic Mobility Services To Enterprises On-Demand

MILFORD, CT – July 15, 2008 – Perimeter eSecurity subsidiary, USA.NET, announced today their Unified Mobility Platform (UMP) now also includes the latest iPhone 2.0 SDK to deliver secure, device agnostic mobile messaging services to enterprises on-demand. Enterprise employees are now free to select the device of their choice and have it fully integrated with their Hosted Microsoft Exchange implementation, making it easy to accommodate business and personal needs via a single device. With UMP, enterprises can now satisfy technology populists without the costs associated with deploying new platforms, service upgrades, employee certifications and providing 24X7 support for multiple devices. Unlike in-house business email systems that often need to limit mobility choices to reduce the total cost of ownership and minimize complexity, USA.NET’s email hosting customers enjoy the ability to select the device that best suits their business needs and lifestyle, and do so on a user-by-user basis.

“With all of the challenges IT organizations face supporting mobility there isn’t a one size fits all device or platform,” Doug Howard, Chief Strategy Officer, Perimeter eSecurity and President, USA.NET. “Gone are the days when enterprises could dictate what platform their employees will use. CIO’s are feeling pressure to support numerous devices such as the iPhone and at the same time to apply consistent governance policies across the enterprise. UMP facilitates this by applying an audit trail for archiving emessaging, ediscovery, patch management, etc. within an industry leading environment of layered security and regulatory compliance.”

Up until now CIOs have had to grapple with a myriad of devices that generate platform conflicts, security issues and support nightmares while facing a user population of device evangelists who refuse to standardize. USA.NET’s UMP eliminates the need to understand intricacies of different messaging architectures such as, ActiveSync, Good™ Mobile Messaging and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server. This SaaS offering is supported by 50 pre-integrated IT security and eMessaging archiving services from parent company, Perimeter eSecurity, and implements corporate governance and security policies compliant with the Federal regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley, GLBA and HIPAA.

According to Michele Pelino’s July 2008 report titled Demand Insights: Enterprise Mobility 2008 from Forrester Research, “82% of firms report that they support more than one device type — and it’s only going to get worse. With Technology Populism — the phenomena of employees bringing consumer technology to work and demanding to use it — employees are already asking, and will continue to ask, to use their favorite personal device, such as the iPhone, at work to access email and other corporate information.”

“Few hosted emessaging service providers possess the years of experience in supporting multiple devices on a unified platform or the ability to leverage direct partnerships with Microsoft and BlackBerry/RIM to offer best of breed integrated services, all within the context of a comprehensive security environment,” said Sara Radicati, President & CEO, Radicati Group . “A cost effective software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution such as UMP enables IT Depts. to benefit from the latest upgrades and integrations without impact to their IT infrastructure, risk profile or support framework.”

UMP integrates the newly released iPhone 2.0 SDK with ActiveSync® for Windows Mobile® devices and with BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, Good™ Mobile Messaging, and other leading handheld device management software. All handheld devices will be able to access all of Microsoft Exchange’s rich, productive and secure mobile features, including always-synched wireless email, calendars, contacts and more. All of this comes with USA.NET’s award winning 24X7X365 support and with the ability to remote kill a device anywhere and at any time. The latest features include:

* Secure Push email, contacts, calendar events and more
* Global Address List (GAL) support
* More security than IMAP / POP3 functionality
* Ability to view Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, and iWork attachments exactly as designed

With a broad spectrum of corporate enterprise and SMB customers, USA.NET is the trusted provider of complex, mission critical, customizable email hosting solutions. With this GSA award, Ciracom is now able to deliver these same services and benefits to the government.

According to Doug Howard, President of USA.NET, “In the current climate of budget constraints, our SaaS offerings give predictable pricing and service levels over time without any upfront capital expenditures. The solution scales as an agency grows and the speed at which an agency can launch our service and start to see the benefits is much quicker than with traditional in-house implementations. As a part of our partnership with Ciracom, USA.NET continues to undergo rigorous network and host-based security audits in order to maintain the authority to operate its Exchange Hosting services for a government agency under the FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act) compliance process.”

Ciracom will be showcasing the solution at booth #2424 during the FOSE Exposition April 1 to 3, 2008, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, in Washington, DC.

Blend of End-to-End Business Email Solutions, Enhanced Services, Integration and High Touch Support Sets USA.NET Apart from Competitors

DENVER, CO – March 12, 2008 – Microsoft’s entry into the Microsoft Exchange hosting market with their Online Services offerings signals an upward swing in the trend toward email hosting services and validates the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, according to Doug Howard, Chief Strategy Officer of Perimeter eSecurity and President of top-rated business email provider USA.NET.

“The entry of a giant into a market is always encouraging,” he said. Microsoft announced last week that it would begin offering its state of the art email application as a hosted service.

“We regard our business partner Microsoft’s move into the email hosting market the way a retailer views the presence of a strong anchor retailer in their mall location,,” Howard said.

“We’re excited about Microsoft’s investment in the SaaS model. It is a further indication that this model can deliver more predictable costs, enhanced security, reliability, continuity, compliance readiness, and full-function integration providing a common experience for office, mobile and remote employees alike,” he added.

“By comparison, our business model is much more focused: we sell services. Our clients have business issues, we provide solutions, enabling them to focus on their prime business imperatives. “Because software sales is not our business, we eliminate possible confusion and conflict in that area, and are able to provide an industry-leading, enterprise-class business email service offering utilizing the best products from many software vendors.”

Microsoft Will Boost Exchange Hosting Services Market
“While the availability of Exchange hosting from Microsoft may increase customer options, many organizations – from SMBs to Fortune 100s – will continue to value the high level of customization, customer service, integration between various software vendors’ solutions, smooth migration, documented, audited and guaranteed performance, and ongoing, involved, locally-oriented partnership that they receive with USA.NET,” Howard said.
“So the net result should be a more serious examination of the hosted services or SaaS model by organizations that might not have considered it, which should work for our benefit.”

USA.NET, Email Pioneer, Built Market for Hosted Business Email
“We recognized early on that email is considered critical infrastructure, no less important in today’s world than dial tone, and perhaps even more demanding than voice communications in terms of customization and integration with other business functions. It became obvious to us that this high degree of importance, and the necessity for integration and customization, along with acceptable security, continuity and compliance standards, could be – and needed to be — accomplished most effectively in a hosted services environment.
“Utilizing the advantages of the hosted services environment, we were able to perform strongly enough to lead the hosted email marketplace for 11 years,” he said. “And we expect this leadership to continue. Given our strong performance, and the high level of satisfaction from our clients and channel partners, it is not surprising to us that Microsoft has decided to enter this market.”
USA.NET Provides Additional Services Not Available in the Microsoft Online Services Model
“We are a Microsoft business partner and provide extremely reliable hosted Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP1 and SharePoint Services 3.0. We also do not have a business that relies on software sales, so our message, focus, investments, and strategy are clear and transparent to our clients,” Howard said. “There are many advantages to dealing with USA.NET, including the following:”

* Integrated Solutions Based on 50+ Software Vendors. USA.NET provides custom systems made up of the industry’s 50+ top applications and services proven to deliver the best performance, simplicity and integrative functionality. All types of organizations can choose from our selection of Fortune 50 services to create the solution that exactly fits their needs.
* Track Record and High Renewal Rate. This is reflected in USA.NET’s low 0.06% low customer churn rate, 11 years experience in email hosting, and SLAs that are SAS 70 Type II audited yearly.
* Hosted BlackBerry® Services. USA.NET is also able to provide total integration for BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and GoodTM Mobile Messaging, not available in the Microsoft email hosting services package.
* “Partnership-with-Clients” Business Model. USA.NET’s model means that the company doesn’t simply sell or re-sell hosted business email services. It creates long-term relationships, crafts individualized solutions – not just for companies and departments, but down to the level of the individual employee — and provides a level of integration not possible without a high level of client involvement.
* Exchange Hosting Migration Services. USA.NET has a professional services/migration team unequaled in the industry. It is not a “do-it-yourself” or partner-assisted model. The company has migrated over 2,000,000 mailboxes for businesses of every size and seamlessly moved them from a variety of corporate email platforms, including Microsoft Mail, Lotus Notes®, cc:Mail, GroupWise®, prior versions of Microsoft Exchange, and other platforms with POP and IMAP protocols.
* Customer Support. With USA.NET, clients have access to a comprehensive high touch customer support team, led by a dedicated Technical Account Manager (TAM), who works directly with customers on all service issues and questions. Beyond that USA.NET has a screened, seasoned, and trained technical staff that assures the highest functionality, integration, and connectivity. Above all, the 24×7 service USA.NET provides is highly specialized, expert, and locally oriented. USA.NET clients tell the company that in dealing with their service managers, they always feel as if they are USA.NET’s only client!
* Tiered Service Plans. USA.NET provides tailored Exchange hosting functionality (tiered offerings of Platinum, Gold and Silver) that gives organizations the ability mix and match the final solution based on a company’s individual requirements.
* Hosted Archive. USA.NET offers hosted archive services that are both cost-effective and scalable.

MILFORD, CT – March 11, 2008 – Perimeter eSecurity, the only provider of Complete Security On Demand, announced the appointment of former Counterpane Sales Executive, Rob Bolton, to the position of North American Regional Vice President of Sales for Perimeter eSecurity and USA.NET. USA.NET is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perimeter eSecurity and the leading provider of secure Microsoft® Exchange Hosting and eMessaging services.

“We are very excited that Rob Bolton has joined Perimeter eSecurity and USA.NET,” said Doug Howard, Chief Strategy Officer of Perimeter eSecurity and President of USA.NET. “Over the past two years we have selectively built our Fortune 1000 customer base and developed scalable and repeatable Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions that address the complex needs of these companies. More importantly, we have taken our expertise in compliance, developed while servicing our 5,500 customers – a majority of which are in the financial services and healthcare verticals – and have been able to bundle extremely cost-effective, high quality solutions in a market that typically must pay high premiums for mediocre services.”

“I’m thrilled to join such a dynamic, forward thinking organization,” Bolton said. “I was impressed with the positive feedback I received from customers about the USA.NET solutions. It became clear that we solve major challenges for organizations through the delivery of the most comprehensive suite of solutions in the industry, including hosted Exchange, commercial messaging, anti-virus/anti-spam, content filtering, email archiving, encrypted email, secure IM, wireless email, integrated SharePoint® services, as well as backup and disaster recovery. Large enterprises still have a need for the migration services and custom designed messaging solutions that we provide. I’m even more excited now that we are packaging solutions that combine the best services from both Perimeter and USA.NET. Perimeter eSecurity and USA.NET are at a very exciting point in the company’s history and I am proud to be a part of it.”

Prior to joining the company, Mr. Bolton ran a sales territory for BT Counterpane where he provided sales leadership and revenue acquisition through BT Counterpane’s core security monitoring and management services. In addition, Mr. Bolton assisted in the design and implementation of many of the BT Counterpane sales best practices, including sales training programs, lead generation activities, corporate presentations, and the overall enterprise sales process.
