MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 31, 2007 – Info Security Products Guide, the world’s leading publication on security-related products and technologies has selected Securent, Inc. (www.securent.com) as one of its Info Security “Hot Companies” winners for 2007. Selected from an industry analysis of more than 500 prominent info security vendors from around the world, Securent was chosen for this prestigious honor after meeting the judging committee’s stringent selection criteria of the “4Ps” – Products, People, Performance and Potential.

The Hot Companies 2007 selection also helps raise the bar significantly for others in the industry to provide end-user organizations with effective solutions that address their needs for security, privacy, compliance, governance, and controlling the dissemination of sensitive information. The judging committee evaluation criteria also included strong entrepreneurial spirit, seasoned executives with relevant industry experience, a clear understanding of the security market, products and solutions that are positioned to take advantage of the emerging market opportunities, well developed revenue-growth model, and clearly planned expansion strategies.

Securent is taking identity management to the next level with its advanced Entitlement Management Solution (EMS), the security industry’s only standards-based entitlement management system that provides enterprise organizations with the ability to centrally manage, enforce, and audit fine-grained access policies across a heterogeneous IT and application stack. A number of Fortune 100 companies including Credit Suisse have already deployed Securent EMS across their operating environment and a recent Burton Group report identified ‘entitlement management’ as one of the top IT info security priorities for 2007.

“Security is now one of the top three issues with almost every organization around the world and these companies represent the next generation of security innovation that will serve to keep both companies and their customers secure,” said Rake Narang, Managing Editor of Info Security Products Guide published by Silicon Valley Communications. “Vendors that are building their success strategy based on the four pillars of strength -- specifically the 4Ps under which we have evaluated security vendors of all sizes around the world -- are the ones who are best positioned to keep your digital resources secured in 2007. Securent should be proud to be counted as one of these companies.”

“While the issue of managing entitlements is not a new one, Securent EMS represents an innovative approach that is helping companies manage authorization policies in a more streamlined and cost-effective manner,” said Rajiv Gupta, Chairman and CEO for Securent, Inc. “On behalf of all of our employees, partners, and customers, we are honored to receive this prestigious award and to be recognized by one of the security industry’s most prominent institutions.”
