Holocom’s MultiDomain PC Serves Global MarketNew Computer Solves Long-Standing Government Security and Logistics Challenge. Officials Can Now View Classified and Unclassified Information on the Same Computer.SAN DIEGO, CA and ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 8, 2006) – The explosive growth of networks carrying classified information to U.S. military, homeland security, and intelligence officials has created a major challenge – how to allow users to view classified and unclassified information at the same desk and at the same time without violating security regulations. In many cases, officials must have two or more separate computers on their desks, wasting money and time. Holocom Networks, a member of the Chesapeake Innovation Center (CIC), announced today they have signed an agreement with another CIC member, Secured Processing Inc. (SPI), to integrate the SPI breakthrough Sentinel Computer Security Technology in the new Holocom MultiDomain PC. The Holocom MultiDomain PC is a desktop tower that allows a single computer to process up to six different classified and non-classified “domains” that include separate computer storage devices, networks and I/O ports. This replaces the need for individual users to have multiple computers at their work stations. In addition, users can have simultaneous access to any two domains for processing unclassified and classified information, making it faster and easier to analyze information. “This system provides the government with more security for less money,” said G. Bradford Saunders, President and COO of Holocom Networks. “Customers from crucial U.S. security organizations across the world have expressed their eagerness to acquire the Holocom MultiDomain PC.” Holocom Networks will market the new product beginning April 1, 2006 to a global list of Department of Defense facilities and military units. The company believes total demand for the system may reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars. The hardware-based security system within the Holocom MultiDomain PC is especially well suited to protecting networks from the “insider threat” posed by hostile users with access to sensitive networks. It works independently of the computer’s operating system, software and data processing hardware by controlling the power source to peripherals. Identification, authentication and access control permissions are programmed into a smart card interface for authorized users. The MultiDomain PC uses the SPI Sentinel Technology, which meets the government’s NSA validated EAL 4 gold standard for security technology. Security elements include a security module, smart card interface and removable hard drives. Currently, the Holocom MultiDomain PC features an Intel ® Pentium ® 4 3.6G (800 MHz) with HT. Each domain is physically separate and is operating system independent. Holocom products already protect critical government networks at key locations in the U.S. and abroad. Their new solution will provide security across the entire length of the “pipelines” that carry vital information to our security and intelligence personnel. “The CIC is especially pleased that two of our member companies have cooperated to meet this important national security requirement,” said John Elstner, CEO of the CIC. Holocom Networks is currently best known for its Protected Distribution System (PDS), a raceway that encloses and protects secure network connections and cables from inside attacks and hackers. The PDS end-to-end solution is engineered to meet the “spirit and intent” of NSTISSI No. 7003 requirements. About Holocom Networks About Chesapeake
