IRE and RSA Security Strategic Partnership Strengthens Internet Security

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2000--

Leading security vendors join forces to certify interoperability - SafeNet/Soft-PK with RSA Keon(R) and RSA SecurID(R) security solutions

Information Resource Engineering, Inc. (IRE) (Nasdaq: IREG), a leading provider of Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology and solutions for secure business communications, today announced the company has partnered with RSA Security (Nasdaq: RSAS) to ensure its SafeNet technology seamlessly interoperates with RSA Security's products. IRE has joined the RSA Secured strategic partners program to certify that its popular SafeNet/Soft-PK(TM) VPN client offers one more level of security for corporate users. The two companies have tested and certified interoperability between SafeNet/Soft-PK Version 4 and the RSA Keon(R). Certification is underway for RSA SecurID(R) solutions.

More than six million users worldwide take advantage of RSA Security's two-factor authentication products. This strategic partnership with RSA Security has enabled IRE to complement SafeNet's proven VPN technology with RSA SecurID, the de facto standard in two-factor user authentication. SafeNet/Soft-PK recognizes the request for authentication and allows the user to quickly and easily take advantage of its standards-based VPN client.

"We're pleased to have IRE in our RSA Secured partner program and look forward to working with the company to deliver innovative solutions for today's e-business," said Scott Schnell, Senior Vice President of Marketing at RSA Security Inc. "Interoperability between our respective products helps our two companies provide high-quality, easy-to-use and standards-compliant solutions to our customers."

The two companies are also participating in joint marketing activities. To kick-off the relationship, IRE is showcasing its leading SafeNet/Soft-PK client in RSA Security's partner pavilion at Networld + Interop in Las Vegas this week. IRE security experts can be seen in Booth # 7733 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

"IRE is working closely with RSA Security to couple state-of-the-art VPN security with two-factor authentication," said Phil Saunders, Vice President of Marketing at IRE. "We are committed to providing customers with solutions that offer true interoperability. Our partnership with RSA Security represents a long-term effort to improve Internet security."
