Critical Watch Continues Success With Expanded Offerings and Updated Corporate Branding

  Product release delivers increased efficiency and cost-savings while new
                          look solidifies message

    DALLAS, April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Critical Watch, a leading
provider of security risk management and compliance solutions, announced
today it will unveil a new product release, FusionVM 4.0, at the industry
RSA(R) Conference 2008 in San Francisco, California April 7 - 11, 2008.
This new offering is an extension of the existing Critical Watch FusionVM
suite of Vulnerability Management and PCI compliance solutions.

    FusionVM 4.0 is an expansion into the security configuration and policy
compliance space. Designed to delve deeper into regulatory compliance and
give customers comprehensive information needed to satisfy auditors, it
compares customer-defined policies to stated configuration requirements and
immediately identifies non-compliant assets. Additionally, FusionVM will
now enable businesses to track rogue assets, including laptops, across both
static and dynamic environments.

    "The primary objective of FusionVM 4.0 is to add security configuration
and policy compliance to FusionVM's already rich feature set. Eliminating
the manual labor of security and compliance tasks incurred during audits,
FusionVM 4.0 furthers our product capability of allowing enterprises to
automate these key tasks and execute them as a proactive, operationalized
process. The results are lowered compliance costs, increased accuracy and
timeliness of information. At the same time it provides visibility,
measurability and control over corporate security, risk and compliance,"
states Critical Watch President and CEO David Laizerovich.

    Like the entire FusionVM enterprise solution, FusionVM 4.0 was designed
specifically with customer input. According to Laizerovich, "We generally
get a great sense for the wider marketplace by talking with our customers
about the challenges they face and the needs of the various teams using
FusionVM. With these things in mind, we aim to create products and services
that are market-driven, truly needed and useful."

    To go along with the 4.0 release and the expansion of its solution set,
Critical Watch has updated its corporate branding and evolved its messaging
to reflect its new market position. Web site updates include the
opportunity for customers to personally experience the Critical Watch
approach of customer-focused priorities. Detailed product and service
explanations and multiple opportunities to interact with Critical Watch
personnel are available. Additional plans include the opportunity for
customers to submit questions and learn from the management team members
through an executive blog.

    "We value our customers and want to provide them with as much
information as possible regarding our FusionVM suite of security risk
management and compliance solutions," says Vice President of Strategy and
Development Mike Curtis. "Our identity update and the associated changes to
the Web site and other materials reflect the advances we've made in our
offerings and continued overall growth."
