ENSURE TECHNOLOGIES' XYLOC IS ULTIMATE CHOICE FOR SECURING PCS

XYLOC RECEIVES TOP HONORS FROM LAPTOP MAGAZINE 2003 AWARDS; CALLS XYLOC THE "DIGITAL DOBERMAN" FOR AUTOMATICALLY SECURING PCS

Ann Arbor, Mich., September 23, 2003 — Ensure Technologies, the leader in intelligent information access solutions, today announced that XyLoc™ PC security solution has been given the 2003 Ultimate Choice Award from LAPTOP Magazine.

LAPTOP's Special Annual Issue presented the "Best of the Best Mobile Products" and awarded XyLoc with top honors in their security category. The issue noted that mobile PCs have "access to e-mail systems and company intranets, so a lost notebook can be an open door for hackers." It lauded XyLoc as a "digital Doberman" that makes sure that "only you can approach your computer and get access."

"We are honored to receive LAPTOP's Ultimate Choice Award this year," said Dr. Thomas Xydis, president of Ensure. "Many of our customers in the healthcare, financial services, and energy industries use mobile PCs and find XyLoc to be the easiest and most convenient way to protect valuable and sensitive information. It is rewarding to be recognized both by the media and customers for our solutions."
Ensure's patented XyLoc provides full-time access control to mobile and desktop PCs, continuously authorizing users without burdening them with cumbersome security protocols. Its patented technology protects confidential data when it is most vulnerable - after logon, whenever the authorized user steps away from the PC. Users with XyLoc-protected laptops have immediate access to their applications and data and their PCs are automatically secured the moment the user steps away.

XyLoc is unique in its ability to make authentication smarter with its ability to balance security and convenience. Users are recognized based on their proximity to their PCs. They wear unique XyLoc KeyCards (that can also double as their ID badge) that communicate securely with proximity detection hardware and sophisticated software residing on each workstation. A computer is unlocked only after XyLoc has identified and authenticated a user.
