Cipher Doubles Office Space in Office Move; Rapidly Expanding U.S. Presence Moves into New Office BusinessWire Friday, October 30, 1998 8:50AM WOBURN, MASS. (BUSINESS WIRE) Oct. 30, 1998 via NewsEdge Corporation - nCipher, Inc., a world leader in secure electronic commerce solutions, today announced that the company has moved its East Coast office to a larger facility in Woburn, Mass. The new facility will increase the rapidly-growing security company's space by 100%. The demand for nCipher's nFast cryptographic accelerator product line from on-line merchants, brokers and retailers has fueled the company's growth. nCipher's new office space will help the company expand their U.S. market presence, as well as take a more active role in the development of global electronic commerce. "The market for our products continues to grow in the United States," said Steve Cohn, U.S. president of nCipher. "Our brokerage, banking and on-line retailing customers gain dramatic increases in server performance and huge cost savings with government-certified nFast cryptographic accelerators. Our expansion into new office space reflects our rapid growth and success." nFast accelerators help companies remove server bottlenecks caused by high Internet traffic and spikes in demand. Companies also benefit by being able to reduce the number of servers needed to process secure transactions. Network managers are able to enhance their existing investment in servers and technology while increasing server performance. On-line consumers and investors experience fast service without virtual lines even during periods of high demand. And with key management and certificate authority functionality, in addition to FIPS 140-1, Levels 2 and 3 security certification, companies offering these services will benefit from nFast's industry-leading technology.
